At TheSun.bd, we believe accurate information is the foundation of responsible journalism. Our readers rely on us for important updates across Education, Technology, Sports, Politics, Bangladesh News, and other current affairs. We take this responsibility seriously and make reasonable efforts to verify information before publishing it.
Our fact-checking process focuses on using reliable sources, checking important details, providing proper context, and correcting errors when they are identified.
Our Approach to Fact-Checking
Before publishing a news report, our writers and editors review the available information and try to confirm important facts through reliable and authoritative sources.
Depending on the nature of the story, we may verify:
- Names and designations
- Dates and deadlines
- Examination and admission information
- Results and statistics
- Government decisions
- Official statements
- Sports scores and schedules
- Product and technology announcements
- Other important factual claims
We give preference to original and official sources whenever they are available.
Use of Official Sources
TheSun.bd primarily relies on information published by official and authoritative organizations.
These may include:
- Government ministries and departments
- Education Boards
- Universities and educational institutions
- Examination and recruitment authorities
- Official admission portals
- Sports organizations and governing bodies
- Government officials and authorized representatives
- Official company websites and announcements
- Official press releases and notices
For Education News, we take particular care when reporting exam dates, exam results, admission notices, admit cards, seat plans and recruitment examinations, as incorrect information can directly affect students and candidates.
Social Media and Other Online Sources
Social media can be useful for identifying developing stories, but we do not automatically consider a social media post, screenshot, video or forwarded message to be verified information.
When information originates from social media or another unofficial source, our team attempts to confirm it through an official or otherwise reliable source before presenting it as fact.
We do not knowingly publish rumors, manipulated information or unverified claims as confirmed news.
Experienced Editorial Team
Our news content is prepared by writers with more than 7 years of experience in news and content publishing.
Our Education News writers also have practical experience working as teachers in coaching centers. Their subject knowledge and experience with students help them better understand and explain examination, admission and education-related developments.
All articles are subject to editorial review appropriate to the nature of the story.
Handling Developing News
Some events develop rapidly, and information may change as authorities release new details.
In such cases, we make an effort to clearly distinguish between confirmed information and developing details. When reliable new information becomes available, we may update the article so readers have the latest verified information.
We believe accuracy is more important than publishing information simply because it is available first.
Corrections and Updates
We recognize that human errors can occasionally occur.
If we discover a factual error in an article, we review the information and correct it as soon as reasonably possible. Where appropriate, significant corrections may be clearly indicated to readers.
We also update published articles when an official authority releases revised information, such as a changed examination date, admission deadline, result information, government decision or sports update.
Minor spelling or formatting corrections that do not change the meaning of an article may be made without a separate correction notice.
Reader Feedback and Error Reports
Our readers can help us maintain accuracy.
If you believe that an article contains incorrect or outdated information, please contact our editorial team and provide:
- The article title or page link.
- The information you believe is incorrect.
- The correct information, if available.
- A link to an official or reliable source supporting the correction.
Our team will review the information and make changes when the correction is verified.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Fact-checking is an ongoing responsibility at TheSun.bd. We continuously work to improve our editorial processes and ensure that the information we publish is accurate, transparent, timely and useful.
Our goal is not simply to publish news quickly, but to provide information that readers can confidently rely on.
TheSun.bd is committed to responsible, reader-first journalism and continuous improvement in accuracy and transparency.
