At Desh Times, we strongly believe that credibility, accuracy and truthfulness are the foundation of journalism. Our readers trust us for reliable information and to maintain this trust, we have a clear and transparent Fact-Checking Policy.
Commitment to Accuracy
Every piece of content published on Desh Times is thoroughly checked for factual correctness before it goes live.
We verify information through multiple reliable sources such as:

Rumors, unverified claims or content from non-credible sources are not published.
Fact-Checking Process
Our editorial team follows a step-by-step fact-checking process:
- Source Verification – We first check the origin of the information and confirm whether it comes from a credible source.
- Cross-Verification – Information is cross-checked with at least two other authentic and independent references.
- Expert Consultation – In case of technical, health, finance, or legal news, subject experts are consulted.
- Final Review – The article undergoes an editorial review before being published.
Handling Misinformation
If any false or misleading information is identified in our content (either by our team or reported by readers), we immediately investigate.
If an error is confirmed, we correct it transparently following our Correction Policy.
