The Jaisalmer News: Fact-Checking Policy

1. Core Principle: AI Speed, Human Scrutiny

The Jaisalmer News utilizes its advanced India’s Smartest AI Newsroom Writer v4.0 to instantly process, cross-reference, and analyze data from multiple sources. Our policy is to subject all AI-assisted content to verification by trained human journalists, ensuring that speed never compromises factual accuracy.

2. The Fact-Checking Process (AI & Human Workflow)

Our verification process is a two-stage system:

3. Verification Standards & Sources

We adhere to the highest standards of evidence:

  • Primary Sources Only: Factual claims are always verified using primary sources (e.g., official government orders, direct quotes, legal documents like the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996, and direct site inspections).
  • Mandi/Rate Data: Mandi prices are cross-referenced with at least two APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committee) published reports before release.
  • Evidence of Possession: For all AI-Verified reports, the underlying data (e.g., source documents, link to the official order) is kept on file for immediate review.

4. Policy on Corrections

Our commitment to accuracy includes transparent correction of errors.

  • Prompt Correction: If a factual error is discovered, the content is corrected within 3 hours during standard operating times.
  • Correction Notice: For errors of significance (e.g., wrong rate, incorrect law quoted), a clear Correction Note will be appended to the article, detailing what was wrong and how it was fixed.
  • Reader Feedback: We encourage readers to report errors via [Insert Email Address for Error Reporting].

5. Identifying and Handling Misinformation

When a claim is proven false after publication, the content will be clearly flagged as “Partially Misleading” or “False”. If the entire basis of the article is proven false, it may be retracted with a full public statement explaining the reason.
