🔍Our Commitment to Truth

At Subkuz.com, we believe accuracy is non-negotiable. Before any claim, statistic, or piece of information is published, our editorial team follows a rigorous fact-checking protocol. This commitment applies to all content — breaking news, feature stories, opinion pieces that cite facts, and social media posts.

Publication

Step 1 – Source Identification: Journalists identify all primary sources (official documents, press releases, government data, subject experts).

Step 2 – Primary Source Verification: We attempt to directly verify facts with the original source. Where official data is cited, we link directly to or archive the source document.

Step 3 – Cross-Reference: Claims are cross-checked against at least two independent and credible sources. Social media posts, viral messages, and unverified videos are never taken as standalone evidence.

Step 4 – Editor Review: A senior editor approves all fact-sensitive content before publication. For complex investigations, a Fact-Check Editor signs off separately.

⚠️Handling Viral Misinformation

When we encounter viral content suspected to be false, our team initiates a formal verification process. We publish fact-check articles that:

  • Clearly label the claim being examined
  • Present our findings with evidence
  • Rate the claim (True / False / Misleading / Partially True / Unverified)
  • Explain our methodology transparently

🤝Trusted Sources We Rely On

  • Government ministries and official press releases (PIB, state governments)
  • Registered legal documents, court orders, and official gazettes
  • Data from credible research institutions (NITI Aayog, WHO, UN agencies)
  • On-record statements from named experts and officials
  • International wire services (PTI, ANI, Reuters, AFP)
