Fact Check Policy

Fact Check Policy

NIRNAY TV uses this Fact Check Policy to guide verification across Odisha News, India News, Breaking News, Technology News, Business News, Sports News and Entertainment News. The purpose is to reduce misinformation, correct uncertainty and give readers clear sourcing whenever possible.

Verification Standard

The NIRNAY TV Editorial Desk checks claims against reliable material such as official records, public statements, documents, data, direct responses, credible news sources and first-hand evidence. We look for the original source of a claim instead of relying only on reposts, screenshots or social media summaries.

How We Handle Developing News

When a story is still developing, we label uncertainty and update the report as better information becomes available. We avoid presenting early claims, viral posts or unofficial figures as final facts unless they are independently verified.

Images, Videos And Social Media

Photos and videos can be misleading when they are old, edited, cropped or shared without context. NIRNAY TV checks visual material for date, location, source, surrounding context and consistency with confirmed details before using it in public-interest reporting.

Corrections After Publication

If verification after publication shows that a material detail is wrong, incomplete or misleading, we correct or update the story according to our Corrections Policy. We do not knowingly keep inaccurate information online without clarification.

Reader Challenges

Readers may challenge a claim by contacting us through Contact Us. Please include the article URL, the disputed sentence or claim, and the evidence that supports your request. Public-interest tips can also be shared through News Tips.

Editorial Independence

Fact checking is part of our broader Editorial Policy and Ethics Policy. Advertisers, sponsors and political interests do not decide whether a verified correction is made.
