Our Commitment
We are committed to publishing content that is accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. Our goal is to ensure that every article reflects verified facts, credible sources, and transparent reporting. Readers rely on us to present information in a clear and responsible way, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Verification Process
Before any article is published, our editorial team follows a multi-step verification process:
- Source Evaluation: We prioritise primary and authoritative sources such as government reports, academic studies, and official statements.
- Cross-Referencing: Information is checked against at least two independent and credible references whenever possible.
- Data Confirmation: Statistics, figures, and timelines are reviewed carefully for accuracy and context.
- Quote Verification: Any direct quotes from individuals, leaders, or organisations are confirmed to be accurate and properly attributed.
Corrections and Updates
If an error is identified in our content, we act promptly to correct it. Updated articles include a clear note indicating when changes were made. Transparency in acknowledging mistakes is part of our commitment to accountability.
Editorial Independence
Our fact-checking process is independent of any advertisers, sponsors, or external influences. Paid or sponsored content is always labelled, and sponsorship does not affect the accuracy or integrity of our editorial work.
Reader Feedback
We encourage our readers to help us maintain accuracy. If you notice a factual error, please contact us through our official email: info@nedaonline.org. All credible correction requests are reviewed by our editorial team and acted upon swiftly.
