Fact Checking Policy The Story Circuit

At The Story Circuit, accuracy is not optional it is essential. Our Fact Checking Policy explains how we verify information before publication and how we maintain credibility after publishing.

Our Commitment to Truth

We believe that trust is built on accuracy. Every article, story, analysis, or informational piece published on The Story Circuit is created with a responsibility to reflect facts as clearly and honestly as possible.

While some content may include personal reflections or opinions, factual references are verified using reliable sources.

Our Verification Process

Before publishing, our editorial team follows these steps:

  • Cross checking facts with multiple reliable sources
  • Verifying names, dates, statistics, and references
  • Reviewing quotes and attributions
  • Ensuring logical consistency in storytelling

When content involves sensitive topics such as social issues, history, or public information, we apply additional scrutiny.

Use of Sources

We prioritize trusted sources such as:

  • Official publications
  • Recognized news organizations
  • Academic or institutional references
  • First hand accounts when available

Anonymous or unverified sources are avoided unless clearly stated as such.

Handling Opinions and Interpretations

Opinion based content is clearly presented as personal perspective. However, even opinions are expected to be based on reasonable understanding and truthful context.

Corrections and Updates

If any factual error is discovered after publication:

  • The content is reviewed immediately
  • Necessary corrections are made promptly
  • A correction note may be added when appropriate

We never ignore verified mistakes.

Reader Involvement

Readers are encouraged to report any suspected inaccuracies. Every report is taken seriously and reviewed carefully.

Independence and Integrity

Fact checking decisions are free from political, commercial, or personal influence. Our only priority is truth and reader trust.

Continuous Improvement

Fact checking is not a one time task. We continuously refine our editorial standards to improve clarity, reliability, and responsibility.

Through this policy, The Story Circuit commits to being a platform where readers can rely on information not because we claim perfection, but because we practice accountability.
