ScoopWhoop Ethics & Fact-Checking Policy

We, at ScoopWhoop, are committed to upholding the greatest standards in this new era of media & information. Here are few guidelines, writers and editors, adhere to, while disseminating information and ideas.

Every story is verified. Our writers look for multiple authentic & credible sources to corroborate a story, looking at the headline, checking for confirmation bias and tonality.

The verification process does not end at publication however, and if new information is made available, we accordingly correct the published piece with the necessary updates.

This includes adding verification from subjects of the story, to ensure its unbiasedness.

Each piece of content is sifted for the following

– That it is not vulgar, obscene, or violative of other’s rights

– It does not promote hatred or violence of any kind It is not discriminatory on the basis of caste, creed, religion, race, ethnicity or gender

– It does not disrespect an individual or organisation or is of slanderous nature

– It is sensitive to the topic being discussed in the story

There is a clear distinction made between paid articles and advertisements. Any story which is an advertisement, carries the name of the company and carries a description of an ‘advertisement’, ‘ad’ or ‘sponsored’.

ScoopWhoop has a strong policy against plagiarism. We strictly abide by the rule of law & the copyright infringement policy of the country. All our writers ensure the work they do is original.

We ensure that all our articles go through multiple levels of checking, with additional levels added depending on the gravity and topic of the article.
