1. Accuracy and Verification

Accuracy guides all reporting.

• Fact-Checking: Reports undergo detailed verification using primary sources, official records, and expert input.
• Corroboration: Sensitive or controversial claims require confirmation from at least two independent sources.
• Context: Stories include background and explanation to support informed understanding.

2. Independence and Impartiality

Our newsroom operates without external influence.

• Editorial Firewall: Advertising and sponsorship teams have no control over editorial decisions.
• Conflict of Interest: Journalists disclose personal or financial interests linked to their reporting.
• Non-Partisanship: We do not endorse political parties or candidates. Multiple viewpoints are presented.

3. Corrections and Accountability

We take responsibility for our work.

• Transparency: Errors are corrected promptly once identified.
• Labeling: Corrections state what changed and the date of the update.
• Right of Reply: Subjects of critical reporting receive a fair chance to respond.

4. Ethics and Sensitivity

• Privacy: We protect individual privacy unless strong public interest applies.
• Minors: Children in sensitive cases remain unidentified without clear legal and public justification.
• Hate Speech: Content promoting hate, violence, or discrimination is prohibited.

5. Artificial Intelligence Policy

Technology supports reporting, not replaces accountability.

• Human Oversight: Editors review all content before publication.
• Disclosure: AI-assisted content is clearly identified. Fabricated quotes or images are prohibited.

6. Plagiarism and Originality
