Fact-Checking Policy

At GizTimes, we understand that in the rapidly evolving world of technology, accuracy is paramount. A wrong specification, a misquoted CEO, or an unverified leak can damage our reputation and misinform our readers. We are committed to a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure the integrity of our news.​

1. Verification Before Publication

Our writers and editors are required to verify all technical and corporate information before it is published. Our multi-step verification process includes:​

  • Official Data Confirmation: All hardware specifications, software version numbers, and financial data are cross-referenced with official manufacturer whitepapers or SEC filings.​

  • Independent Corroboration: For breaking news or industry leaks, we require at least two independent sources or confirmation from a tier-one primary source before reporting it as fact.​

  • Peer Review: Drawing on our founder’s background in research methodology, complex investigative pieces undergo a “blind” internal review to ensure data interpretations are sound.​

2. Sourcing Guidelines

We are transparent about where our information originates.​

  • Primary Sources: We prioritize information from press conferences, official developer documentation, and direct interviews with industry experts.​

  • Secondary Sources: If we reference a report from another outlet (e.g., The Verge or TechCrunch), we verify the original claim and provide a clear attribution link. We do not aggregate content from unverified social media “leakers” without independent technical verification.​

3. Handling Rumors and Leaks

Tech journalism often involves product leaks and speculation. We handle this content with strict editorial guardrails:​

  • Clear Labeling: Articles discussing unconfirmed products are clearly categorized as “Rumors,” “Speculation,” or “Analysis” in the headline.​

  • Precise Language: We use specific phrasing (e.g., “reports suggest,” “unconfirmed leaks indicate”) to differentiate between official announcements and industry whispers.​

4. The Role of the Editorial Desk

Every article on GizTimes undergoes a review by a senior editor to ensure:

  • Source Integrity: Challenging the writer’s sources and checking for potential conflicts of interest.​

  • Statistical Accuracy: Verifying that performance benchmarks and price-to-performance ratios are calculated correctly.​

  • Contextual Accuracy: Ensuring that headlines and captions do not sensationalize or misinterpret technical findings.​

5. Non-Partisanship and Objectivity

While our columnists may express views on specific tech ecosystems (e.g., iOS vs. Android), our fact-checking is neutral. We do not omit technical flaws that are inconvenient for a brand, nor do we manipulate benchmarks to favor specific manufacturers.​

6. Feedback and Corrections

If a reader identifies a factual error that bypassed our verification process, we welcome the feedback. Please refer to our Corrections Policy for details on how we handle updates.​
