Fact Check

Breaking Arc ensures that our news, articles, and editorials undergo a multi-step verification so that users have access to content that is credible and reliable. Evidence-based reporting, maintaining transparency, and accuracy is our strongest suit that sets us apart from any other media channels. 

Verification Process 

All our news, articles, and editorials pass through a multi-step verification process: 

1. Source Verification: Our teams ensure that all the sources used are credible and that official claims made by the government or reputed organisations. Mostly, our team relies on first-hand accounts of details, interviews, and other available media over second-hand information or vague speculation. 
2. Cross-Checking: All the claims, stats, quotes, and excerpts used in our content pieces undergo cross-checking with at least one other independent source to avoid any false information or discrepancies in our media coverage, especially in sensitive topics. 
3. Editorial Review: Before publishing an article or a content piece, everything goes under the scrutiny of senior editors who check for factual consistency, credits, and neutral representation of the topic. 
4. Specialised Fact Checks and References: When we are quoting the claims made by organisations, governments, public figures, or any viral content, it is double-checked, and reference links are given so the audience can verify the claim. 

How We Rate Claims 

We categorise claims into different categories based on the reputation of the source. These categories are True, Mostly True, Misleading, False, or Unverified. Moreover, each claim or argument is supported by reference links so that the audience can also cross-verify the claims made in our articles. 

Global, Always-On Verification 

News is ever-evolving and constantly developing, and hence, we ensure that all the information provided in the article or news is up-to-date. Breaking Arc constantly monitors news developments, official announcements, government releases, and reputable news sources to ensure that our reporting remains current and accurate. As new information becomes available, we review and update published stories, ensuring that our readers always have access to the latest verified developments. 

Reader’s Participation

Readers’ participation is inherently valued at the Breaking Arc as they play a significant role in ensuring accurate journalism. If you find any errors in the factual information, feedback, or published story that require clarification, we encourage you to contact our editorial team. 

We ensure that every genuine concern is dealt with promptly when necessary and uphold the trust placed by our readers in the Breaking Arc.

Corrections and Transparency  

Despite the fact that the articles and editorials are rigorously checked, they can be prone to errors. If any inaccurate, misleading, or outdated information is identified, we ensure its removal, modification, or change as per the current standards. We believe in transparency and take full accountability for mistakes. 

In case of viral stories, images, videos, and social media posts, we carefully examine the content and avoid publishing anything that is unverified and misleading. 

Technology Used in Fact-Checking 

Appropriate technology and research tools are used to gather verified and credible sources, including AI-assisted support that helps identify sources of the claims. However, a proper human check is done before publishing the article. Technology may assist our editorial process, but it does not replace our editorial judgement.
