HealthyU is committed to publishing accurate information across all of its content. We take numerous steps to ensure accuracy: we investigate claims with skepticism, question assumptions, and challenge conventional wisdom.
We are dedicated to achieving due accuracy in all our output. This commitment is fundamental to our reputation and the trust of our audience. The term ‘due’ means that the accuracy must be adequate and appropriate to the output, considering the subject and nature of the content, while explicitly mentioning any constraints that may influence expectations.
This means all our content, as appropriate to its nature, must be well-sourced, based on available evidence, and corroborated. We strive to be honest and transparent about what we don’t know and avoid unfounded speculation.
Our writers and journalists never deliberately plagiarize or knowingly distort facts or context, including visual information.
We seek independent verification from sources to confirm claims, information, and allegations, especially those made by public officials or individuals with an agenda beyond reporting the truth. Claims, allegations, material facts, and other content that cannot be corroborated are normally attributed.
HealthyU stands by the information it publishes and deems it to be accurate. If proven otherwise, we correct the content as quickly as possible. We do not knowingly or materially mislead our audience. We do not distort facts or present invented material as facts, as this can undermine trust in our content. We acknowledge serious factual errors and correct them promptly, clearly, and appropriately.
We provide a fair opportunity for the public to report any inaccuracies or errors in our content via the ‘Suggest a Correction’ section, which appears at the end of every article published on our website.
Our writers’ primary responsibility is reporting, writing, and fact-checking stories. All stories are subject to review by one or more editors. HealthyU has a multi-level fact-checking process for stories that require due diligence. The seniority of editors who review a story prior to publication varies depending on factors such as complexity, sensitivity, and time constraints.
Correction Policy
While HealthyU continually strives for excellence and accuracy, we acknowledge that errors may occasionally occur. When errors are identified, HealthyU takes responsibility for correcting them and maintains a high level of transparency to ensure that incorrect information does not spread.
The following steps outline how we achieve our goals of accuracy, transparency, and excellence:
For Readers:
If a reader spots an error, they should contact the Editor-in-Chief immediately by email, phone, or mail.
Email: info@healthyu.blog
Subject: Correction Needed
A correction is not officially submitted until the reader contacts the Editor-in-Chief directly. Corrections submitted to other HealthyU team members may not be addressed promptly or at all.
When submitting a correction, readers should include:
- The correction needed
- The date of the article or content
- Where the error was seen (online, etc.)
- The reader’s name and contact information (phone number or email)
- The correct information and a source for the correction, if applicable
For example, if a statistic in an article is incorrect, please provide the correct data and its source.
Readers can expect a response from the Editor-in-Chief and may be contacted further if clarification is needed. Please note that submitting a correction guarantees an investigation but does not guarantee that a correction will be issued.
For HealthyU:
Once the Editor-in-Chief is made aware of an error, they will investigate it using the information provided by the reader, the writer’s notes, and any other available sources.
If an error is confirmed, the Editor-in-Chief will issue a correction in all formats where the incorrect information was published:
- Website: The article will be corrected, and an editor’s note will be added at the bottom, explaining what was incorrect and when the correction was made.
- Social Media: If the article was shared on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or other HealthyU-controlled channels, a post will be made linking to the corrected article and noting the correction.
Once the correction is made, the Editor-in-Chief will contact the reader who reported the error and inform them of the steps taken to correct it.
