Fact-Checking Policy

At livetrending.ro, we are committed to being clear, accurate, and responsible in our use of language, headlines, and URLs. We recognize the power of words and treat this responsibility with the utmost seriousness.

Our writers are required to verify the accuracy of all information they collect and publish. This includes identifying details such as names, locations, factual statements, and any other information relevant to the content. Writers conduct their own fact-checking using sound judgment and reliable sources, guided by our Ethics Policy.

In certain situations, livetrending.ro may also involve professional fact-checkers, both internal and external, to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information presented. We are committed to non-partisanship, transparency regarding sources and funding, and being open to valid criticism and necessary corrections.

Before publishing, we verify all critical information with the relevant parties involved. If we receive a claim regarding the accuracy of content published on our platform, our process is as follows:

  • We contact the source of the claim to gather more details and supporting evidence;
  • We reach out to individuals and organizations with expertise or direct knowledge of the subject;
  • We research credible literature and documentation, including news reports, scientific or medical journal articles, books, interviews, and statistical data.

We aim to use neutral and peer-reviewed sources whenever possible. When information comes from politically affiliated or partisan sources, we advise readers to consider the context and evaluate accordingly.

Depending on the complexity of the topic, other members of our editorial staff may contribute additional research or revisions to a piece. All articles go through a final editorial review, and any piece not meeting our standards is revised before publication. All updates or corrections made after publication are clearly disclosed in the content to maintain transparency with our readers.
