Fact-Checking Policy

At Living in Boone County (https://livinginboonecounty.com/), we are committed to delivering accurate, trustworthy, and verifiable information to our readers. As an independent community news and updates platform, we recognize that accuracy builds public trust — and maintaining that trust is central to our mission.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

We take accuracy seriously and strive to ensure that every article we publish is factually correct, well-researched, and verified.
Our editorial team works to:

  • Verify all information using credible and reliable sources
  • Double-check names, dates, figures, and quotations before publication
  • Ensure proper context is provided to avoid misleading impressions
  • Clearly distinguish facts from opinions in all our content

Verification Process

To maintain high editorial standards, we follow a structured fact-checking process:

  • Every piece of content is reviewed and edited by at least one senior editor before it goes live.
  • We cross-check all factual claims against multiple reputable sources.
  • When possible, we contact relevant local officials, organizations, or experts for confirmation of statements or data.
  • If third-party statistics or reports are used, they are presented with proper context to prevent misrepresentation.

Corrections and Updates

Despite our best efforts, errors can occasionally occur. When they do, we:

  • Acknowledge and correct them promptly
  • Add an editor’s note or correction notice to the article when appropriate
  • Review internal processes to prevent repeated errors

Readers are encouraged to report any potential inaccuracies by contacting us directly. Verified corrections will be made as quickly as possible.

Independence and Impartiality

Our fact-checking process is conducted independently of advertisers, sponsors, or government entities.

  • We do not allow commercial, political, or personal interests to influence our editorial verification.
  • All reported content is produced with the sole aim of informing and serving the Boone County community.

Reader Contributions

If you submit news tips, story ideas, or guest content, our editorial team will:

  • Verify all factual claims and statistics before publication
