Truth Matters. Always.
At The US Chronicle, our mission is simple: to deliver information that our readers can trust. In a world flooded with misinformation and half-truths, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of fact-based journalism.
Every story we publish goes through a rigorous process of verification and validation. Whether it’s a national headline or a local feature, we strive to ensure the facts are accurate, the sources are credible, and the context is clear.
1. How We Verify Facts
Our editorial team checks and cross-checks information using:
- Primary sources: official documents, direct quotes, press releases, legal records
- Credible secondary sources: government agencies, respected news outlets, academic institutions
- Expert input: when appropriate, we consult professionals in law, politics, health, science, or other fields to clarify technical or sensitive information
- Public records & data: census data, public databases, and verified datasets help ground our reporting
2. Use of Anonymous Sources
We rarely use anonymous sources. When we do, it’s only when:
- The source provides essential information not available elsewhere
- The source faces potential harm or backlash if identified
- The information is corroborated by other credible evidence
We never publish unsourced speculation or rumors.
3. Distinguishing Fact from Opinion
We clearly separate factual reporting from commentary or opinion. Our readers should always be able to tell when they’re reading news versus an individual perspective.
4. Ongoing Updates
If a fact changes or new information becomes available, we update our articles accordingly and include a timestamp or note where appropriate. We value transparency and aim to present the most up-to-date version of the truth.
5. Reader Feedback & Corrections
We welcome our readers to be part of the process. If you spot something that seems inaccurate, please email us at contact@theuschronicle.com with:
- The headline and link of the article
- The specific information you believe is incorrect
- Any source(s) or documentation to support your concern
All correction requests are reviewed seriously, and if a correction is warranted, we follow our Correction Policy to update the article transparently.
6. Combatting Misinformation
We take active steps to avoid unintentionally spreading misinformation. This includes:
- Avoiding clickbait or misleading headlines
- Vetting viral content before sharing or referencing
- Avoiding the amplification of unverified claims, even if trending
The US Chronicle stands for journalism that informs, not misleads. In an age where facts are sometimes contested, we remain firm in our belief that truth is non-negotiable.
