1. Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently of advertisers, sponsors, and outside influences. Decisions on news coverage, story selection, and editorial content are made based on journalistic merit and public interest.
2. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive to ensure that all our content is factually accurate, well-sourced, and up-to-date. Before publication, articles undergo thorough verification from credible sources. Corrections are issued promptly when errors are identified.
3. Transparency
We clearly attribute sources and disclose conflicts of interest wherever applicable. If a story includes sponsored content or affiliate links, it will be clearly labeled to inform our readers.
4. Impartiality and Fairness
We aim to provide balanced perspectives on all news and issues. We give subjects of criticism an opportunity to respond and include multiple viewpoints where relevant.
5. Content Standards
We avoid sensationalism, hate speech, personal attacks, and misleading headlines. All content must meet high standards of ethics, decency, and professionalism.
6. Corrections and Updates
When factual inaccuracies are found, we update or correct the article promptly. A correction note may be added at the end of the article if the change is significant.
7. Editorial Process
All content is reviewed by experienced editors before publication. Editorial decisions are guided by our newsroom policies, current events, and reader interest.
