Besides, the newspaper is focussed on promoting economic and financial literacy in the country through its reader-friendly presentation of news and views.

Fact-Checking Policy

Fact-checking is considered as one of the most important elements of journalism. OrthoSongbad cross-checks the information several times before publishing it to its website. We have correspondents in all the 64 districts of the country. These huge numbers of correspondents across the country helped OrthoSongbad to cover different news and to take statements from both of the concerned sides of any incident while making any news. Besides, our correspondents cross-check the information provided by the witnesses, locals and administration.

Corrections Policy

OrthoSongbad always tries to provide accurate information to its audience. However, mistakes can happen in journalism despite following proper procedures. In these circumstances, OrthoSongbad does not hesitate to acknowledge the error.

After checking the facts correctly, the target of OrthoSongbad is to tell its readers, as quickly as possible, what was wrong and what is correct. We tried to make the thing very clear to all of our audience as anyone would be able to understand how and why that mistake has been corrected.

In times of major correction, OrthoSongbad provides a ‘rejoinder’ at its website, and we clearly indicate the change.
