In the rapidly evolving landscape of gaming, accuracy is of utmost importance. At Sirus Gaming, our commitment to truthful, unerring reporting is unwavering. This fact-checking policy outlines the standards and processes we employ to ensure our content stands up to scrutiny.
Primary Source Verification
Whenever feasible, every piece of data we present is traced back and verified against its primary source. We prioritize direct communication with game developers, publishers, and official press releases. Furthermore, firsthand experiences form the backbone of our game reviews and event coverages.
Cross-referencing and Audio-Visual Verification
In instances where direct primary sources remain elusive, we must corroborate information against at least two established secondary sources. Conflicting information, when encountered, is either transparently addressed or rooted out from our content. Additionally, any audio-visual content, whether trailers or gameplay snippets, undergoes a meticulous review to confirm its authenticity. We insist that such content originates from official channels or recognized creators.
User Submissions and Editorial Reviews
Our readers often provide valuable leads, tips, and content. However, before reaching our platform, each user-submitted piece undergoes a stringent fact-checking regime. Special attention is given to anonymous tips, where we invest additional efforts to validate the information and the source’s credibility. Beyond this, every article, especially those bearing significant or contentious claims, is subjected to a thorough review by our senior editors or a specialized fact-checking team. The onus is on us to ensure that any unverified claim is either distinctly tagged as such or excluded entirely.
Corrections, Updates, and Audience Engagement
Errors are inadvertent, but rectifying them is intentional. At Sirus Gaming, we pledge to promptly and transparently correct any oversight. Updates or amendments to an article are always timestamped to maintain clarity. Equally important is our relationship with our readers. We not only value but actively encourage their involvement in our fact-checking journey. A dedicated channel, like an email address or contact form, is maintained to facilitate feedback or flag potential inconsistencies; send an e-mail directly to editorial [at] sirusgaming.com.
Our credibility at Sirus Gaming is intertwined with the trust our audience places in us. Through this rigorous fact-checking policy, we fortify that trust, solidifying our position as a trusted voice in gaming journalism.
