As an Associate Editor at Digital World online magazine, one of my core responsibilities is to maintain the accuracy and objectivity of our articles. We follow a structured editorial process for this, starting with a thorough review of the draft, checking for inconsistent data, and potentially biased language.
One of the tools we regularly use is Grammarly, which helps in identifying minor errors. However, for fact-checking, we rely on renowned platforms like FactCheck.org and Snopes. Additionally, I make sure to cross-verify all statistical claims or dates with primary sources to ensure their accuracy.
Last year, I was managing the publication of an article covering the COVID-19 pandemic. It included various data points and policy discussions that required intense verification due to the sensitive nature of the topic. I ensured all figures were double-checked against official public health resources, and the narrative did not lean toward any political bias, ensuring a piece that our readers could trust for its factual accuracy and neutrality.
