At news.TrendEarner.com, we are committed to delivering accurate, well-sourced, and trustworthy news content. Factual accuracy is the foundation of our credibility, and we apply rigorous editorial standards, verification processes, and journalistic ethics to uphold that trust.
Our fact-checking policy is built on principles of transparency, due diligence, and accountability, in full alignment with Google’s content quality guidelines and globally recognized journalism best practices.
Our Editorial Philosophy
We believe that accuracy is not only about being correct — it is about being precise, fair, complete, and responsibly contextualized. We challenge assumptions, verify every key claim, and clearly differentiate between fact, opinion, speculation, and analysis.
Fact-Checking Process
Every piece of content on news.TrendEarner.com undergoes a structured editorial workflow to ensure factual integrity:
1. Source Validation
- We prioritize primary sources, public records, direct statements, and official data.
- Third-party information is only used from credible outlets, peer-reviewed studies, or authoritative experts in the field.
2. Claim Verification
- All material facts (names, dates, statistics, quotes, events) are double-checked before publication.
- Allegations or claims made by public figures, government agencies, or corporate entities are independently corroborated before inclusion.
- If a claim cannot be verified, we clearly attribute it or omit it.
3. No Plagiarism or Fabrication
- Our writers and editors are strictly prohibited from plagiarizing content or fabricating facts, data, or quotes.
- AI tools, when used (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), support research and writing, but all outputs are manually verified by a human editor.
4. Review Structure
- Articles go through multiple layers of editorial review depending on complexity and sensitivity.
- Senior editors handle fact-checking for high-impact stories involving legal, political, or financial matters.
What “Due Accuracy” Means to Us
We interpret “due accuracy” as being accurate to a level that is appropriate and reasonable for the nature of the content. For instance:
- Breaking news is fact-checked with urgency and updated as more information emerges.
- In-depth features undergo a deeper editorial audit with additional citations and expert review.
Reporting Errors & Misinformation
We welcome and appreciate feedback from our readers. If you spot an error or believe information may be inaccurate, please let us know.
To report an error:
- Email us at support@trendearner.com with the subject line: “Correction Request”
- Include:
- The URL of the article
- A description of the issue
- Supporting sources or documents (if available)
We review all requests within 48 hours, and if a correction is warranted, we will update the content accordingly and transparently.
You can also refer to our Correction Policy for detailed information about how we handle errors.
Fairness in Attribution
- When publishing quotes, we strive for accurate representation of context, tone, and intent.
- We avoid misrepresenting a subject’s position, and we include counterpoints when appropriate for balance and fairness.
Fact-Checking on Social Media
If incorrect or misleading content is shared on our official social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, etc.), we:
- Correct or delete the inaccurate post, if editable.
- Post a follow-up correction notice with the updated link and clarified context.
Use of AI & Automation
While we use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, Google Gemini) to aid content creation and editing, all content is:
- Fact-checked and verified manually by trained human editors.
- Subject to internal compliance with factual and ethical journalism standards.
We do not publish auto-generated articles without human review and editorial approval.
Commitment to Google Publisher Policies
As part of our compliance with Google News and Google Publisher Center guidelines:
- We maintain transparent bylines, author profiles, and contact information.
- All news articles clearly distinguish original reporting from aggregated or syndicated content.
- We avoid clickbait headlines, misleading meta data, and deceptive imagery.
Editorial Independence & Integrity
TrendEarner News does not allow advertisers, sponsors, or other third parties to influence editorial content. All fact-checking and publishing decisions are made independently by the newsroom.
Continuous Improvement
We are always evolving our fact-checking and editorial review systems. Feedback from readers, peer journalists, fact-checking bodies, and content audits help us identify areas for improvement and maintain journalistic excellence.
