At MASA Online, accuracy and reliability are at the core of our journalism. We understand that our readers depend on us for credible news, career guidance, education updates, and government policy coverage. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the standards and processes we follow to ensure the integrity of the information we publish.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
- We strive to publish clear, factual, and verified information.
- Every article undergoes a careful editorial review to minimize errors.
- Where complex issues are covered (such as government policies, Social Security, IRS updates, and stimulus checks), we rely on official data and primary sources.
2. Sources of Information
To maintain credibility, MASA Online uses:
- Official sources: Government portals, press releases, academic institutions, and authoritative organizations.
- Subject matter experts: Educators, career counselors, economists, and policy analysts.
- Trusted media outlets: Recognized national and international publications for cross-referencing.
We avoid reliance on anonymous or unverified sources unless essential, and even then, we provide proper context.
3. Fact-Checking Process
- Verification: All claims, statistics, and updates are double-checked against at least two credible sources.
- Editorial Review: Our editorial team evaluates articles for accuracy, clarity, and neutrality before publication.
- Timely Updates: If government regulations or policies change, we update our articles promptly to reflect the most current information.
4. Handling Errors & Corrections
- If inaccuracies are identified, we correct them as quickly as possible.
- Corrections are clearly noted at the beginning or end of the article to maintain transparency.
- Readers are encouraged to notify us of potential errors by contacting us at [insert contact email].
5. Independence & Impartiality
