Fact-Checking Policy

Truth First. Facts Always. LoudFact’s Commitment to Responsible Reporting.

At LoudFact, our mission is to inform, inspire, and empower our readers with accurate, timely, and meaningful content. As part of our responsibility to the public, we maintain a strict fact-checking policy to ensure the credibility and integrity of the information we publish.

This policy outlines how we verify facts, correct errors, and maintain trust with our audience.

1. Our Fact-Checking Process

Every piece of content published on LoudFact - whether it's a news article, feature, opinion piece, or guide - goes through a multi-step fact-checking process:

Primary Source Verification: We prioritize original and authoritative sources such as government databases, academic journals, interviews with verified experts, and official records.

Cross-Referencing: All claims and statistics are cross-checked against at least two reliable and independent sources before publication.

Editorial Review: Our editorial team reviews each article for factual consistency, logical clarity, and evidence-backed claims.

Real-Time Updates: For developing stories, we label updates clearly and continuously re-verify facts as new information emerges.

2. Standards for Sources

We use the following criteria to determine source credibility:

Reputation: Well-established institutions, news agencies, and experts in the relevant field.

Transparency: Clear sourcing, author credentials, and traceable data points.

Bias Check: Efforts are made to avoid sources with known biases unless they are directly relevant and transparently cited.

We avoid anonymous sources unless absolutely necessary, and in such cases, we provide context for anonymity.

3. Corrections and Clarifications

Despite our best efforts, mistakes can happen. When they do, we act swiftly:

Corrections: Factual errors are corrected immediately and clearly marked with a correction notice at the bottom of the article.

Clarifications: When a statement is technically correct but potentially misleading, we issue a clarification for better reader understanding.

Timestamps: All articles include timestamps showing the last update date.

4. Reader Involvement

We encourage our readers to participate in maintaining accuracy:

If you believe you’ve found an error, please contact us at: [email protected]

Our editorial team will investigate the claim and respond within 48 hours.

5. Editorial Independence

LoudFact operates independently of any political, corporate, or external influence in the editorial process. We do not allow advertisers or sponsors to influence our content or fact-checking decisions.

Our goal is to publish content that serves the public interest - not private agendas.

6. AI-Assisted Content

We may use AI tools to assist in research or drafting content, but all published articles are fact-checked by human editors for accuracy, context, and reliability. AI-generated material is never published without editorial oversight.

At LoudFact, we believe facts are the foundation of trust. Our fact-checking policy is part of our broader commitment to transparent, responsible, and impactful journalism. Thank you for holding us accountable and trusting us to deliver accurate information.
