At WishingDaily, we know that earning and maintaining the trust of our readers is essential. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the foundation of that trust, and we are committed to upholding the highest standards in all our content.
Our Approach to Accuracy
We define accuracy as more than just meeting professional standards—it’s about ensuring that our readers can rely on our reporting with confidence. We consider factors such as the subject matter, type of information, and audience expectations when striving for accuracy.
Thorough Research
We aim to provide the most accurate information by engaging directly with stakeholders and critically examining claims. While some details may remain uncertain despite our best efforts, we work diligently to minimize errors.
Varied Standards
We understand that fact-checking requirements differ based on article type. For instance, reporting on a nonprofit’s achievements will involve different sources than an investigative story.
Guidelines for Ensuring Accuracy
- Trusted Sources: Every article is based on reliable and verifiable information. If direct sources aren’t available, we credit the original platform.
- Verification of Claims: We validate facts, statements, and claims made by public authorities or other sources. Information that cannot be independently confirmed is clearly noted.
- Corrections Policy: Errors are corrected promptly, and readers are notified transparently of any changes.
- No Intentional Misinformation: We do not intentionally mislead readers or present false information. Any significant errors are openly acknowledged and corrected.
- Reader Feedback: Each article includes a “Suggest a Correction” option, allowing readers to report inaccuracies.
Fact-Checking Process
Our team is responsible for reporting, writing, and verifying all content. Every article undergoes internal fact-checking and editorial review based on the topic’s complexity and sensitivity.
- Engaging with Sources: We reach out to relevant parties to independently confirm information and ensure accuracy.
- Enhanced Verification: Subject matter experts may be consulted, and a transparent review process is followed for all information.
Information Sources
To maintain accuracy, we follow these principles:
- Multiple Sources: Information is verified by at least two sources whenever possible.
- Documented Evidence: We prioritize documented records over unverified claims.
- Survey Transparency: Survey methods and potential discrepancies are disclosed to readers.
- Source Context: Information from on-the-record sources is presented with context about credibility.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content is carefully reviewed before being published:
- Verification: Online content is verified with credible individuals or organizations when applicable.
- Fact vs. Rumor: We clearly differentiate between confirmed facts and unverified claims, especially from social media.
Responsibility for Accuracy
All factual information on WishingDaily is thoroughly checked by our editorial team. While AI tools may assist in drafting, the responsibility for fact-checking and ensuring accuracy lies solely with our team.
