Fact-Checking Policy

Last Updated: June 2025

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Our Commitment to Accuracy

LK News Hub is committed to providing accurate, fair, and reliable news content to our readers. We understand the significant responsibility that comes with being an information platform, especially in an era of widespread misinformation. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the standards and processes we follow to verify the information we publish.

Our AI-Assisted Content Model

LK News Hub uses artificial intelligence technology to aggregate, summarize, and translate news content from multiple reputable sources. Our AI system draws from publicly available news reports from established Sri Lankan and international media organizations.

Important Transparency Notice: Our content is AI-generated and AI-curated. While we strive for accuracy at all times, AI systems can make errors. We strongly encourage readers to verify critical information from official and primary sources before acting on any information published on our platform.

Our content is intended for general informational purposes. For matters involving health, legal decisions, financial planning, or safety, please always consult qualified professionals and authoritative official sources.

Source Verification Standards

Our AI system is trained to source content from credible news organizations. We prioritize the following types of sources:

  • Established Sri Lankan media: Sirasa News, Derana News, Hiru News, Newsfirst, Ada Derana, and other licensed broadcasters
  • International wire services: Reuters, AFP, AP News, BBC, and Al Jazeera
  • Government sources: Official government portals, press releases from ministries, and statements from verified officials
  • Academic and research institutions: Peer-reviewed publications and recognized research organizations

We do not intentionally republish content from known misinformation websites, unreliable blogs, or unverified social media posts as factual news.

What We Check

Claims & Statistics

Numerical claims and statistics are cross-referenced with original sources or official data.

Source Attribution

Every article includes source attribution and, where available, a link to the original report.

Corrections & Updates

When errors are identified in our published content, we are committed to correcting them promptly and transparently. Our corrections process includes:

  1. Acknowledging the error clearly at the top or bottom of the corrected article
  2. Explaining what was incorrect and what the correct information is
  3. Dating the correction with the timestamp of the update
  4. Retaining the original content (with a strikethrough or note) where appropriate for transparency
