At OTE News, our commitment to truth and transparency is at the heart of everything we publish. We understand the importance of accurate information in today’s digital world, and we take our responsibility to our readers seriously. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines our editorial standards and the processes we follow to ensure the accuracy and integrity of our content.
Commitment to Accuracy
All information published on OTE News is thoroughly reviewed and verified before it goes live. Our editorial team ensures that every article is supported by credible sources, such as government publications, official announcements, reputable news agencies, and subject matter experts.
Use of Reliable Sources
We prioritise the use of primary sources whenever possible. These include official websites, press releases, legal documents, and verified statements from authorities. Where primary sources are not available, we rely on secondary sources with strong editorial standards and a record of reliability.
Review and Verification Process
- Each article is written by an experienced contributor and reviewed by an editor.
- Facts, dates, statistics, and claims are checked against official or trustworthy sources.
- When errors are identified, they are corrected promptly and transparently.
Corrections and Updates
We maintain an open approach to corrections. If an error is brought to our attention by a reader or discovered during our own reviews, we make the necessary corrections clearly and promptly. Major corrections are noted within the article itself to maintain transparency.
Reader Involvement
We welcome feedback from our readers. If you come across content on OTE News that appears to be inaccurate, misleading, or lacks proper citation, we encourage you to contact us at [email protected]. Your input helps us maintain high standards of accuracy and accountability.
Editorial Independence
Our fact-checking process is completely independent and unaffected by external influences, including advertisers or partners. We do not accept compensation in exchange for coverage, and editorial integrity is never compromised.
