Fact-Checking Policy

ZivvyNews aims to publish information that is accurate, clear, and properly verified before it goes live.

Fact-checking is part of the editorial process for every article, not a separate step added at the end.

What We Check Before Publishing

Before an article is published, we review key details such as:

  • names, titles, and roles
  • dates, timelines, and locations
  • statistics, claims, and figures
  • quotes and their original context

If any detail cannot be confirmed through reliable sources, it is either removed or clearly presented as unverified.

Sources We Rely On

We prioritize information from:

  • official statements and public records
  • recognized and credible news organizations
  • direct reporting when available

When multiple sources are available, we cross-check information to avoid relying on a single account.

Context Matters

Facts without context can be misleading.

We aim to:

  • explain how information fits into the bigger picture
  • avoid presenting isolated facts that distort meaning
  • clearly note when a story is still developing

Handling Developing Stories

Some stories evolve quickly. In those cases:

  • we clearly indicate when information is preliminary
  • we avoid presenting early reports as confirmed facts
  • we update content as new verified information becomes available

Corrections and Updates

If an error is identified after publication:

  • it is reviewed and corrected as quickly as possible
  • significant corrections are reflected in the article

For more details, see our Corrections Policy.

Editorial Responsibility

Writers are responsible for the accuracy of their reporting.
Editors review each piece to ensure it meets our standards before publication.

Final responsibility for published content remains with the editorial team.
