Telugupost Now a Verified Signatory of Fact Checking Network of India (FCN)

The Fact Checking Network of India (FCN) was established to create a robust ecosystem of professional, independent fact-checkers across the country. FCN’s verification process requires members to demonstrate strict editorial independence, consistent methodology, credible sourcing, and effective corrections policies. Trusted Information Alliance (TIA), which is the driving force behind FCN, works with media entities, technology platforms, and civil society to promote accountability, transparency, and accuracy in public communication. The FCN network currently includes several prominent organizations, such as Boom FactCheck, Factly, Newschecker, The Quint, Vishvas News etc.

Telugupost Fact-Check, a division of Truth Serum Media, commands a significant reach in South India and has been especially prominent for its multilingual coverage—publishing fact-checks across seven languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Urdu, Odia, and English. The platform is also known for its proactive reporting on topics such as climate change misinformation, digital hygiene, scam prevention, and Cyber vigil.

Telugupost is also a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), a globally respected body that sets standards for independence and transparency among fact-checkers worldwide. This dual recognition, by both IFCN and FCN, places Telugupost in an elite category of Indian organizations that abide by rigorous global and national ethics and operational standards.

At the heart of Telugupost’s editorial approach is a robust corrections policy, prompt updates, and unwavering commitment to accuracy. Every published article is peer-reviewed, with all corrections added both at the end of the relevant story and on a dedicated corrections page. The platform rigorously moderates comments to remove hate speech and misinformation, while ensuring the privacy and dignity of victims and vulnerable subjects is always protected.

Speaking on the occasion, Satya Priya BN, Editor-Fact Check, emphasized, “Telugupost is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in verification and editorial neutrality. Every fact-check is guided by integrity, independence, and transparency. As an FCN signatory, Telugupost renews its promise to be uncompromising in the fight for trustworthy information and to serve as a pillar of credibility for the public.”

With this FCN signatory status, Telugupost Fact-Check is now even better positioned to serve its readers with credible, transparent, and impactful journalism, protecting the public from the dangers of misinformation in India’s digital age.
