Fact-Checking & Ethics Policy

Last Updated: November 2025

At India Pacific Post, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, integrity, and transparency in our reporting and analysis. Given the sensitive nature of Geopolitics and Defense, ensuring the credibility of information is our top priority.

1. Our Sourcing Standards We rely on primary and verified secondary sources for our reports. Our sources include:

  • Official Statements: Press releases from Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defense Departments, and Government bodies.

  • Multilateral Organizations: Reports from the UN, IMF, World Bank, ASEAN, and NATO.

  • Verified Media: Reputable global news agencies (e.g., Reuters, AP, ANI, PTI) and established defense journals.

  • Experts: Insights from defense analysts, former diplomats, and subject matter experts.

2. Verification Process Before publishing any news or analysis:

  • We cross-reference claims against multiple reliable sources.

  • We do not treat unverified social media posts as news unless confirmed by an official channel.

  • Visual evidence (images/videos) is checked for context and authenticity to prevent the spread of deepfakes or misinformation.

3. Attribution We believe in giving credit where it is due. Whenever we reference a report, a quote, or data from another publication, we provide clear attribution and, where possible, a direct link to the original source.

4. Analysis vs. News We clearly distinguish between factual news reporting and opinion-based analysis. Articles labeled as “Opinion,” “Analysis,” or “Strategic View” represent the interpretation of the author based on available facts.

5. Corrections Policy Despite our best efforts, errors can occur. If a factual error is identified:

  • We will correct the article immediately.

  • We will add a “Correction Note” at the bottom of the article explaining what was changed.

  • Readers can report errors by emailing us at: desk@indiapacificpost.com with the subject line “Correction Request.”
