LeagBiz (hereinafter referred to as “https://leagbiz.com” / “We” / “Us” / “Our”) is committed to ensuring the accuracy and credibility of all content published on our platform. Our Fact-Checking Policy outlines the measures we take to uphold these standards.
Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is fundamental to our editorial integrity. We strive to report news and information that is precise, fair, and balanced. Our understanding of ‘due accuracy’ involves providing information that meets a high standard of credibility, is corroborated by reliable sources, and considers audience expectations. Our approach includes:
- Verifying information with direct stakeholders in news reports.
- Investigating claims with skepticism and cross-checking facts.
- Acknowledging areas of uncertainty and making efforts to resolve them.
Fact-Checking Standards
To ensure accuracy, we follow these key principles:
- Reliable Sources: Content is sourced from credible and verifiable references.
- Verification of Claims: We verify allegations, statements, and data with authoritative sources.
- Transparency: When information cannot be independently verified, we disclose this to our audience.
- Corrections: If errors are identified, we update the content promptly and notify readers.
- Editorial Oversight: All published content undergoes rigorous fact-checking and editorial review.
Information Sourcing Guidelines
Our editorial team follows stringent guidelines when sourcing information:
- Corroborating facts with at least two independent sources whenever possible.
- Ensuring the credibility of single-source information through thorough validation.
- Preferring documentary evidence over anecdotal accounts.
- Clearly stating the methodology used in surveys and research-based articles.
- Ensuring transparency in using anonymous sources and explaining why they are not named.
- Seeking responses from all relevant parties in case of allegations or controversial claims.
Handling User-Generated Content
User-generated content (UGC) poses unique verification challenges. We take the following steps to ensure its reliability:
- Cross-verifying user-submitted materials before publication.
- Distinguishing facts from opinions and rumors, particularly in social media content.
- Labeling UGC clearly to maintain transparency.
- Exercising caution with information from partisan sources or individuals with vested interests.
- Ensuring that misinformation is promptly corrected.
