At WarrenCountyArtsNC.org, our goal is to inform readers with content that is factual, transparent, and trustworthy. We are committed to responsible journalism, and this Fact-Check Policy explains how we verify the information we publish and how we comply with Google News Publisher Center standards and structured data practices for fact-checking.
1. Our Fact-Checking Commitment
We are dedicated to publishing articles that are:
- Factually accurate and verified
- Sourced from reputable primary and secondary resources
- Regularly reviewed and updated when new information emerges
Our editorial integrity is guided by public interest and data transparency.
2. Source Verification Standards
Each fact published on our website is cross-verified using multiple trusted sources, including:
- Official Government Portals: (e.g., SSA.gov, IRS.gov, USA.gov, gov.uk)
- Respected News Organizations: (e.g., Reuters, Associated Press, BBC, The Guardian)
- Academic and Research Institutions
- Industry Experts & Public Records
We provide direct links or citations wherever applicable to maintain traceability.
3. Editorial Review & Fact-Check Workflow
Our publishing process includes:
- Step 1: Research & Compilation – Writers compile data from credible, publicly available sources.
- Step 2: Fact Verification – Editors verify claims, statistics, and attributions against original or official references.
- Step 3: Policy Alignment – Content is reviewed for compliance with Google News and Discover guidelines.
- Step 4: Structured Data Markup (if applicable) – Fact-check articles are marked with ClaimReview schema to ensure they are eligible for rich results and visibility in Google News.
4. Google News Publisher Center Compliance
We follow Google News policies for:
- Content accuracy and original reporting
- Clear attribution and bylines
- Transparent ownership and editorial standards
- Fact-check labeling where applicable
Our team consistently reviews guidelines to remain compliant and ensure our stories are eligible for inclusion across Google News and Discover platforms.
5. Use of Fact Check Schema (ClaimReview)
For certain fact-check articles, we use structured data from schema.org/ClaimReview, which helps search engines understand:
- The specific claim being reviewed
- The rating (e.g., “True”, “Partially True”, “False”)
- The supporting analysis
- The author and publication date
This markup improves visibility in Google’s fact-check explorer and rich results.
6. Corrections Policy
We take accuracy seriously. If a reader, editor, or external party identifies an error:
- We promptly review and verify the concern
- A correction is made transparently, with a disclaimer note if it materially changes the article
- Minor grammatical fixes are silently corrected without notices
7. Neutrality & Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently from advertisers, sponsors, or political groups. We do not allow commercial or ideological influence over our fact-checking outcomes.
8. User Contributions and Fact Tips
If you have a tip, factual concern, or insight into any of our published content, we welcome your contribution.
