Fact-Checking Policy

Fact-Checking Policy

Hostishko Website is dedicated to publishing accurate and reliable information. We understand the importance of factual integrity for our readers. This policy outlines our commitment to truthful content across all articles published on hostishko.com.

Verification Process Before Publication

Before any content goes live, our editorial team conducts a thorough verification process. Every statement of fact undergoes careful scrutiny. We cross-reference information using multiple reputable sources to confirm its accuracy.

Types of Sources Prioritized

We prioritize specific types of sources to ensure the highest level of factual accuracy. Direct evidence and original documents are always preferred. This practice minimizes misinterpretation and enhances credibility.

  • Primary Sources: Original materials such as official reports, research papers (direct from authors/publishers), raw data, transcripts of interviews, and direct observations.
  • Official Sources: Information from government agencies, established institutions, recognized organizations, and official press releases.
  • Peer-Reviewed Academic Sources: Studies and articles published in reputable academic journals that have undergone scrutiny by other experts in the field.
  • Reputable News Organizations: Established news outlets known for their commitment to journalistic standards and factual reporting, used for corroboration.

How Claims Are Evaluated

Our editors evaluate claims based on their supporting evidence and context. We assess the recency, relevance, and credibility of all source material. Claims must be supported by verifiable data, not conjecture or unsubstantiated assertions.

When a Claim Cannot Be Verified

If a claim cannot be verified through reliable sources, we do not publish it as fact. Content containing unverified claims may be revised or removed before publication. We maintain transparency regarding the limitations of available information when necessary.

Distinction Between Fact and Opinion

Hostishko Website clearly distinguishes between factual reporting and opinion pieces. Factual content relies on objective evidence and verifiable data. Opinion pieces represent the views of the author or contributor; these articles are explicitly labeled as such.

Reader Reporting Process

We welcome our readers to report any potential factual inaccuracies they identify. Your input helps us maintain the highest standards of accuracy. Please provide the article title, the specific claim, and supporting evidence when submitting a report.

To report a factual error, please email us at [email protected]. Our team will review your report promptly. We aim to investigate all submissions and respond with an update on our findings within 48 business hours.
