At The Graval, accuracy is the foundation of everything we publish.
Our readers rely on us for credible, timely, and responsibly sourced coverage of entertainment, celebrity culture, and trending news. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the principles, processes, and standards that guide our newsroom in ensuring factual precision and editorial integrity.
Our Verification Process
Before any article is published, our editors and writers verify each piece of information through multiple layers of review:
- Source confirmation: All facts are cross-checked against reputable primary or secondary sources such as official statements, court filings, public records, verified social-media accounts, or interviews.
- Cross-referencing: Data points—like financial figures, dates, or quotes—are validated across at least two independent sources whenever possible.
- Attribution clarity: When a report originates from another outlet, we credit the original source by name and link directly where feasible.
- Expert input: For complex or technical subjects (for example, business valuations or medical details), we consult qualified professionals to confirm context and accuracy.
Standards for Sources
We prioritize transparency in sourcing.
Anonymous or confidential sources are used only when:
- The information is of clear public interest, and
- The source’s credibility and connection to the information have been independently verified by senior editors.
We never publish claims from unverified or single-source rumors, fan speculation, or social-media hearsay without confirmation from a trusted outlet or official representative.
Handling of Rumors and Developing Stories
In fast-moving entertainment or celebrity news cycles, unconfirmed information is clearly labeled as such.
We do not frame speculation as fact.
If a developing story changes or new evidence emerges, the article is promptly updated with a timestamp and a note describing what was corrected or added.
Data, Quotes, and Images
- Financial and statistical data are drawn from credible databases, public filings, or statements from verified institutions.
- Quotes are verified directly through interviews, transcripts, or reputable media recordings.
- Images are licensed from authorized agencies or fall within fair-use standards; we never manipulate images in ways that distort reality.
Corrections and Updates
If an error appears in our reporting, The Graval issues corrections swiftly and transparently.
Minor grammatical edits are made silently, but substantive factual corrections are clearly noted within the article.
Readers may report potential inaccuracies by contacting [email protected].
Continuous Review
Fact-checking is not a one-time step but an ongoing responsibility. Our editorial team periodically re-evaluates older articles to ensure they remain accurate and up to date, particularly when referencing evolving topics like celebrity finances, legal proceedings, or ongoing careers.
Accountability and Oversight
All fact-checking operations are supervised by the Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Nishant Wagh, supported by senior editors with a decade or more of newsroom experience.
This ensures that every published story upholds The Graval’s standards of accuracy, fairness, and transparency.
Our Promis
We believe factual accuracy is the purest form of respect for our readers.
Every claim, quote, and figure featured on The Graval undergoes careful scrutiny before publication — because credibility isn’t an afterthought; it’s the cornerstone of who we are.
