Fact-Checking Policy

At Dotook News (dotooknews.com), we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information to our readers. Our Fact-Checking Policy outlines the rigorous processes we follow to ensure the accuracy of our content across all categories, including automobile, business, technology, entertainment, education, sports, astrology, and national/international news. Our dedication to factual reporting strengthens our credibility and fosters trust with our audience.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Dotook News adheres to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. We aim to verify all information before publication to prevent the spread of misinformation. Our fact-checking process is designed to ensure that every piece of content is accurate, verifiable, and supported by credible sources.

Fact-Checking Process

  1. Source Verification:
    • We prioritize primary sources, such as official statements, government reports, company announcements, or direct interviews, to ensure accuracy.
    • Secondary sources, including reputable news outlets and academic publications, are cross-checked for consistency.
    • Information from unverified or anonymous sources is used only after thorough editorial review and corroboration with multiple credible sources.
  2. Pre-Publication Review:
    • Every article undergoes a multi-tiered editorial review by our team of experienced editors and fact-checkers.
    • Claims, statistics, names, dates, and other factual details are verified using reliable databases, official documents, or expert consultations.
    • For complex topics like automobile specifications or financial data, we consult industry experts or official sources to confirm accuracy.
  3. Post-Publication Monitoring:
    • After publication, we continue to monitor our content for accuracy. If new information emerges, we update articles with a note indicating the change (e.g., Updated on July 15, 2025, to reflect new data on [topic].).
    • Reader feedback is actively encouraged to identify potential errors. Reports can be submitted to news.dtnmediagroup@gmail.com.
  4. Handling Errors:
    • If an error is identified, we follow our Correction Policy to promptly issue a correction or clarification.
    • A correction note is added to the article, clearly stating the error and the corrected information (e.g., Correction: On July 15, 2025, an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated [error]. This has been updated to [corrected information].).
    • Significant errors may lead to a public correction notice on our website or social media platforms, such as X (@DotookNews).

Special Considerations

  • Sensitive Topics: For stories involving sensitive issues, such as crime or public health, we take extra care to verify facts and avoid speculation, ensuring our reporting is both accurate and respectful.
  • User-Generated Content: Comments or contributions from readers on our website or social media are monitored to prevent the spread of misinformation. Unverified claims are removed or flagged.
  • Third-Party Content: Links to external sources or advertisements are reviewed to ensure they align with our ethical standards. However, Dotook News is not responsible for the accuracy of third-party content.

Reader Involvement

We value our readers’ role in maintaining accuracy. If you spot an inaccuracy or questionable claim, please report it to news.dtnmediagroup@gmail.com with the article title, URL, and a description of the issue. We aim to investigate and respond to all reports within 48 hours.

Transparency

Dotook News is transparent about our fact-checking process. If a claim cannot be fully verified due to limited information, we will note this in the article (e.g., This information is based on available data as of July 15, 2025, and may be subject to change.). We also disclose when information comes from unofficial or unverified sources, ensuring readers can assess its credibility.
