At RealityPost.in, factual accuracy is essential to our journalism. We are committed to verifying every piece of information before it is published. This Fact-Check Policy outlines how we gather, verify, review and update information to ensure reliability and transparency in our reporting.
1. Our Fact-Checking Philosophy
We follow these core principles:
- Accuracy first: Every fact must be correct and supported by evidence.
- Transparency: Readers should understand where information comes from.
- Independence: Fact-checking is free from sponsor, advertiser or political influence.
- Accountability: Errors are corrected promptly and openly.
2. Verification Before Publishing
All content goes through a multi-step verification process:
a. Source Validation
We ensure information comes from credible and authoritative sources such as:
- Verified government or institutional reports
- Official spokespersons or press releases
- Reputed media agencies
- Authenticated social media handles
- Public documents or court filings
- Direct communication or interviews
We do not publish content based on unverified claims, gossip forums, or unreliable sites.
b. Cross-Checking Information
Before publishing:
- Key facts are cross-verified using multiple independent sources
- Conflicting information is resolved through additional research
- Editors review all articles for factual accuracy and context
c. Image & Media Verification
For photos, videos or social media posts:
- Reverse image searches are performed
- Metadata or timestamps are checked when available
- Only verified or officially issued media is used
We avoid misleading visuals or outdated references.
3. Distinguishing News from Opinion
- News articles are based purely on verified facts
- Opinion and analysis pieces are clearly labeled
- Opinions do not influence the factual content or reporting style
4. Handling Misinformation
Reality Post follows a strict policy:
- We do not publish satire, parody or rumors disguised as news
- We avoid sources associated with misinformation or hoaxes
- If any published article is found to contain incorrect claims, we update or correct it immediately
5. Updates & Corrections
When new information becomes available:
- Articles are updated with proper timestamps
- Major factual changes include a correction note
- Minor adjustments (grammar/formatting) may be made without a notice
For complete details, readers can refer to our Corrections Policy.
6. Reader Participation in Fact-Checking

7. Third-Party Information Clarifications
If an article includes statements from external sources such as agencies, promoters or publicists:
- We publish them with attribution
- If those sources revise or retract information, we update the article accordingly
Reality Post is not liable for incorrect information provided by third parties, but we remain responsible for updating our stories transparently.
8. Continuous Improvement
We regularly update our fact-checking workflow to reflect:
