🔍 Our Commitment to Accuracy
We are committed to “due accuracy”—meaning our information is appropriate and well-sourced based on the content, context, and sensitivity of the topic.
We always attribute unverified or breaking claims and refrain from speculation.
No content is knowingly fabricated, plagiarized, or distorted. This includes written, visual, and multimedia information.
Journalists at VitalNews360 are expected to verify facts independently, especially when quoting public figures, institutions, or controversial claims.
🔐 Editorial Review & Fact-Checking Structure
Every article undergoes at least one round of editorial review before publication.
More sensitive or complex stories go through multiple rounds of fact-checking, involving senior editors.
Fact-checking responsibilities lie primarily with the reporter, followed by editorial oversight.
⚠️ Correction Policy
While we strive for 100% accuracy, we acknowledge that occasional errors may occur. When they do:
We correct them transparently and quickly.
We do not intentionally mislead our readers or distort facts.
We never present fictional content as fact.
Every story published includes a “Suggest a Correction” link or section, allowing readers to notify us directly if something is wrong.
VitalNews360 is dedicated to building and maintaining public trust. Our team works tirelessly to ensure every piece of content is truthful, balanced, and verified, so our readers can rely on us for fast and factual news.
