At Jovixo.com, we understand that the trust of our audience is crucial. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the foundation of that trust, and we are committed to achieving the highest standards of accuracy in all our content.
Commitment to Accuracy
We define “due accuracy” as not just meeting required standards but also ensuring overall satisfaction with our reporting. In our pursuit of accuracy, we take into account various factors, including the topic, the type of information presented, and audience expectations.
Thorough Investigation:
We aim to present the most accurate account, supported by the immediate stakeholders involved in the news. Our team critically investigates claims, questions assumptions, and challenges received wisdom, although some areas may remain unclear despite our best efforts.
Diverse Standards:
We recognize that fact-checking standards can vary depending on the type of article. For instance, the sources required for an article about an NGO’s achievements will differ from those needed for an investigative report.
Guidelines for Ensuring Accuracy
To maintain the accuracy of our content, we adhere to the following guidelines:
- Reliable Sources:
We ensure that all content is based on trustworthy sources and verifiable data. If direct sources are unavailable, we credit the platform from which the information is sourced. - Verification of Claims:
We make every effort to verify claims, accusations, or facts attributed to public authorities or other sources. Any information that cannot be independently verified will be clearly disclaimed. - Corrections Policy:
If inaccuracies are discovered in our material, we will correct them promptly and notify our readers of the changes transparently. - No Intentional Misinformation:
We prioritize honesty and transparency, ensuring that we do not intentionally mislead, alter information, or present fabricated material as true. When significant errors are identified, we will openly acknowledge and correct them without delay. - Encouraging Reader Feedback:
Each article includes a “Suggest A Correction” section, allowing readers to report any errors or inaccuracies.
Fact-Checking Methodology
Our journalists are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking news and information. Each article undergoes a thorough internal fact-checking process, followed by evaluation by one or more editors, depending on the complexity and sensitivity of the topic.
- Engagement with Sources:
We reach out to all relevant parties who may be affected by allegations to independently validate the information and ensure its accuracy. - Enhanced Fact-Checking Process:
We are committed to improving our accuracy through a comprehensive fact-checking methodology. This includes consulting subject matter experts when necessary and maintaining a transparent review process for all information.
Information Sources for Our Content
To ensure accuracy in sourcing information, we adhere to the following principles:
- Verification:
Every piece of information is verified by at least two different sources. If there is only one source, its assertions must be confirmed. - Documentation Over Human Sources:
We prioritize documented evidence over relying solely on human sources. - Transparency in Surveys:
We disclose how survey data was collected and analyzed, informing our audience of any potential discrepancies. - Record of Sources:
We strive to gather information from on-the-record sources and provide readers with context about the credibility of these sources.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content comes with unique challenges. We do not take this information at face value and take reasonable steps to confirm its accuracy. We clearly label user-generated content as such and follow these guidelines:
- Source Verification:
Information that appears trustworthy online may not always be accurate. We verify information with individuals or organizations when applicable. - Fact vs. Rumor:
We carefully distinguish between fact and rumor, particularly with content from social media where inaccuracies can spread quickly.
Responsibility for Accuracy
All factual information on Jovixo.com is thoroughly checked and verified by our dedicated editorial team. While we may use AI to assist with content creation, the responsibility for fact-checking and ensuring accuracy rests solely with our editorial team.
