At JharKhabar, editorial accuracy is the foundation of reader trust. In an era of rapid digital information flow, we are dedicated to combating viral rumors, deceptive media, and deliberate misinformation. Our editorial desk applies strict verification protocols before publishing any factual claims or viral reports.

We adhere to strict non-partisan standards. Our fact-checkers evaluate claims using identical standards regardless of political affiliation, corporate interest, or ideological background. We do not accept funding or editorial control from political parties or advocacy groups for our fact-checking operations.

Every fact-check article published on JharKhabar undergoes a multi-layer verification process:

• Selecting Claims: We monitor viral online media, public speeches, official statements, and reader submissions to identify claims with high public impact.
• Primary Source Verification: We prioritize original documentation, official gazettes, court filings, audio-visual metadata, and peer-reviewed data over secondary reporting.
• Expert Consultation: When analyzing complex scientific, legal, or technical claims, we consult independent domain experts.
• Contacting the Claimant: Whenever feasible, we attempt to reach out to the individual or organization making the claim to examine their evidence.
• Dual-Editor Review: No fact-check report goes live without review and approval from at least two senior editorial desk managers.

We categorize claims using clear rating badges so readers can quickly evaluate authenticity:

We believe readers should be able to replicate our research. All fact-checking reports include hyperlinks, archive records, document attachments, or screenshots of the sources evaluated (unless protecting confidential whistleblower identities).

If new evidence emerges or if an error occurs in our factual reporting, we update the story promptly. Every correction is transparently noted at the top or bottom of the article with an explanation of what was changed and why. For details on how to request a correction, view our Corrections Policy.
