We at UIM Pune are dedicated to being factually easy to comprehend. The intention of our fact-checking is to hold the content we produce to a higher standard. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of journalism and we are obligated to correct any errors in a timely manner.
Verification Process
Our editorial sections do a thorough verification of the news before publishing any information. This includes comparing new facts to the knowledge base of multiple reliable sources, interviewing people properly, and discerning if the source itself is credible.
Primary Sources
Whenever possible, we seek information from PRIMARY SOURCES. Quotes, notes from official or authoritative bodies, and data provided by such sources are promoted to the top. Where no primary sources can be found, we will state explicitly the foundation on which this information was created, and the steps taken to verify it.
Corrections and Updates
If the above-mentioned errors or inaccuracies are found after publication, we will fix them promptly. First, we post corrections at the top or bottom of an article detailing what was wrong and how it was fixed.
Transparency
We believe that the best way is through transparency on how we fact-check. If readers have questions and concerns about our sources, we urge them to contact our editorial team. Corrections or suggestions? We would LOVE to hear from you.
Non-partisanship
We cannot be both consistently and thoroughly fact-checked by a neutral third party. We follow a set flow for delivering information unbiasedly and are committed to journalism standards.
Fact-Checking Requests
We welcome fact-checking requests from our readers. If you feel that the content posted on UIM Pune is incorrect and should be removed, please let us know why it should be. We are always open to feedback and will review articles that contain errors.
Editorial Independence
All of our fact checks are true to the best of our knowledge when they are published, but we realize that people have competing views. So – follow us and sign up for the latest updates! However, we retain editorial freedom to produce unbiased content on the issues most relevant to our followers.
Continuous Improvement
These are promises we make to our fact-checking methods. We also train our journalists in best practices for journalism and fact-checking.
UIM Pune is committed to providing accurate and reliable information, while also upholding truth in journalism. We have a fact-checking policy because of our commitment to journalistic ethics.
