Brief History

The Kashmir Pulse was initially a free-to-user SMS news alert service, starting from the first day of January 2010. However, the SMS services were banned in the erstwhile state because of some law and order reasons that forced the service to shut down.

The Kashmir Pulse is a popular name among thousands of social media users, especially on Facebook and YouTube, who are connected to its official pages on social networking websites.

Fact-Checking Policy

The Kashmir Pulse follows a very strict fact-checking policy involving both ante hoc and post hoc verification of content. For some of the exclusive content, such as articles appearing in the ‘Fact Check’ section, we often solicit external fact-checking by a panel of subject matter experts.

The goal of this fact-checking effort is to uncover and eliminate spreading disinformation, especially apparent hoaxes with no foundation in reality. Our fact-checking staff gives priority to likely incorrect statements, particularly those that are recent or trending and have a significant impact on people.

While our effort is always to eliminate any potential errors in any form of content through ante hoc fact-checking, the post hoc authentication also remains a continuous process.

We use a set of tools to rule out any possibility of errors while using videos and photographs. The Kashmir Pulse staff also keeps on referring any suspicious content, particularly videos, audios and photographs, to external fact-checking agencies.
