Fact-Checking Policy
Accuracy in reporting
At NatureOften.com, we work diligently to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of every article we publish. If we discover an error, we promptly update and correct the mistake.
When revisiting older articles, we verify their accuracy and make necessary updates to ensure our readers have access to the most current and reliable information.
Sourcing and quotations
Our commitment to facts and accuracy is unwavering. We make every effort to trace information back to its original sources and include links to primary and, if needed, secondary sources for complete transparency. Unsupported assertions have no place in our content.
We prioritize using direct quotes from the subjects of our articles as often as possible, ensuring that their stories and opinions are accurately represented. Fair and accurate use of quotes is a point of pride for us.
Ethics Policy
Factual and accurate reporting is important, but we also consider the broader context in which our articles exist. Our editorial staff emphasizes fairness in our stories by providing context and faithfully conveying the bigger picture to our readers. We are mindful of how articles may be interpreted from different perspectives.
Conflicts of interest
We strive to avoid any conflicts of interest, real or perceived, in our coverage. If we receive free products, exclusive interviews, or other access, we disclose this information to our readers in relevant articles.
Types of content
When an article contains our own editorial opinions, such as in a product review or ranking, it will be clearly identified as such. We use a prominent disclosure statement to transparently inform readers when articles include affiliate links or other sponsorships.
Our coverage focuses on individuals and events in the nature world. While we often cover nature enthusiasts and their activities, we respect the privacy of those who never sought publicity or attention.
Diversity
We aim to have a diverse team of writers and editors, representing a range of opinions and perspectives on nature topics. Our guidelines and training for diversity, equity, and inclusion ensure that we celebrate all cultures and make all readers feel welcome and understood.
Corrections Policy
When we discover errors or omissions, we make corrections to maintain accuracy and prevent the spread of misinformation. We take accuracy very seriously and strive to keep our articles up-to-date.
An updated timestamp is placed at the top of each article when changes are made. For significant corrections, we add a dated explanatory note so our audience knows we take accuracy seriously and own up to our mistakes.
If you have a correction for an article, it can be submitted at (210)-400-6344 or [email protected].
