Fact-Checking Policy

 At Prime Brief Media, verification is fundamental to responsible journalism.

Verification Standards

Before publication, reporters and editors are expected to verify:

  • Names and identities

  • Dates and timelines

  • Locations

  • Statistics and figures

  • Official statements

  • Quotations

  • Documents and records

Sources

We prioritize:

  1. Official documents

  2. Government records

  3. Court records

  4. Academic research

  5. Direct interviews

  6. Credible eyewitness accounts

Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when information cannot reasonably be obtained through other means.

Multiple Source Verification

For sensitive stories, allegations, investigations, or security-related matters, we seek confirmation from multiple independent sources whenever possible.

User-Generated Content

Photos, videos, and information obtained through social media or third parties are subjected to verification before publication.

Corrections

Any verified inaccuracies identified after publication are corrected in accordance with our Corrections Policy.

Editorial Responsibility

Final responsibility for accuracy rests with both the reporter and the editor responsible for publication.
