What we do

WhatsCrack.in explains developments that matter to readers in India: what happened, why it may matter to you, and what to take away. We do not do on-the-ground reporting. We work from news reported by other publishers and from primary material such as company announcements, regulatory notices and official documents, and we add context and practical meaning rather than reproduce anyone else’s article.

Choosing stories

We monitor public sources, including RSS feeds and online reporting. A development is chosen for its relevance to our readers — money, work, technology, rules, safety, sport, culture — not for trend volume alone. We skip shopping deals, stock tips and sponsored content.

Sources and verification

• Our aim is to link factual claims to their supporting records. The Sources & verification panel shows the recorded links and identifies claims without linked evidence.
• Where practical we use primary material (the regulator’s notice, the company’s filing) and a second, independent source for important or disputed claims.
• Automated checks confirm that the numbers, dates and quotes we use appear in our research, and flag stories whose sources are too old for a news story.
• When evidence is incomplete or a story is still developing, we say so instead of presenting uncertainty as fact.
• Social-media posts are not treated as verified evidence on their own.

A source link is attribution and a way for you to check us. It does not mean the source endorses WhatsCrack or has allowed us to reuse its material.

Original writing, not copying

We write in our own words and our own structure. Translating, paraphrasing or rearranging another publisher’s article is not something we publish. Automated checks compare our text with the source pages and flag long overlapping passages and headlines that repeat a source’s headline. We keep direct quotes short, attributed and to a minimum, and we do not reuse others’ photographs, graphics or video without a right to do so. Our story images are generated illustrations, labelled as such, and never presented as photographs of real events.

AI assistance and human evaluation

AI-assisted tools help us gather sources, organise facts, draft the explainer and review it against its sources. They can make mistakes and are never treated as a source. An editor evaluates every story before it is published and decides whether it goes live; nothing is published automatically.

English and Hinglish

Each story is published in English and in Hinglish (Hindi in Roman script). The Hinglish edition is produced from the English story with a translation tool and must carry the same verified facts, numbers and quotes; it is not allowed to add or drop facts.

Headlines, updates and corrections

Headlines must reflect the story accurately and must not exaggerate. When a material fact changes, we update the story. Errors are handled as described in our Corrections Policy. To report a problem or a rights concern, use our Contact page.

Stories are published under the byline WhatsCrack Desk, our editorial team.
