Fact Checking Policy

At ZindaTimes.com, we are dedicated to publishing accurate, reliable, and well-sourced content across all our platforms. Our commitment to factual reporting is at the core of our editorial values and essential to building trust with our audience.

How Our Fact Checking Policy Works

a) Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that every piece of content is accurate. Our team approaches each claim with healthy skepticism, challenges assumptions, and avoids taking information at face value. Rigorous investigation is central to our process.

b) Due Accuracy
We are committed to achieving due accuracy in all our output. This means the accuracy must be sufficient and appropriate, considering the nature, subject, and purpose of the content. Any constraints affecting accuracy expectations are clearly disclosed.

c) Evidence-Based Reporting
All our articles are well-sourced, supported by available evidence, and thoroughly corroborated. We avoid speculation and clearly state when certain facts are not fully verified.

d) Editorial Integrity
Our journalists strictly avoid plagiarism and do not intentionally distort facts, context, or visual elements. We ensure the presentation of facts is honest and fair.

e) Independent Verification
We independently verify claims—especially those made by public officials or parties with vested interests. When facts or allegations cannot be corroborated, they are clearly attributed to the source.

f) Corrections and Accountability
ZindaTimes stands by the accuracy of its reporting. However, if any content is proven inaccurate, we correct it promptly. We do not mislead our audience or present fabricated information as truth. We are transparent in acknowledging and rectifying factual errors in a timely and appropriate manner.

g) User Feedback and Error Reporting
Every article includes a ‘Suggest A Correction’ section at the end, offering readers a fair and open channel to report potential inaccuracies.

Correction Policy

While we aim for excellence and factual precision, we acknowledge that errors can occasionally occur. When they do, ZindaTimes.com takes full responsibility for correcting them transparently and promptly, ensuring that incorrect information does not persist.

If You Spot an Error
