Our mission is to inform, empower, and serve the community by delivering journalism that upholds the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and public interest.
This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and standards that guide our reporting, content creation, and publication practices. All journalists, contributors, editors, and staff associated with Views24.in are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines.
1. Accuracy and Truthfulness
- We are committed to factual accuracy. Every story must be thoroughly researched and verified before publication.
- Information is cross-checked from multiple credible sources wherever possible.
- We do not publish rumors, unverified claims, or speculative content as fact.
- Quotes must be accurate and presented in proper context. Direct quotes are attributed clearly; paraphrased statements reflect the original intent faithfully.
- Headlines, captions, and social media posts must accurately represent the content of the article and avoid sensationalism.
2. Fairness, Balance, and Impartiality
- We strive to present all sides of a story fairly, especially in controversial or sensitive matters.
- Affected parties are given a reasonable opportunity to respond to allegations or criticisms before publication.
- Views24.in maintains editorial independence and does not favor any political party, individual, organization, or ideology. News reporting is separated from opinion content.
- Personal biases of journalists must not influence reporting.
3. Independence and Integrity
- Editorial decisions are made solely on journalistic merit and public interest, free from external influence.
- We do not accept gifts, favors, or incentives that could compromise objectivity.
- Advertising, sponsored content, or partnerships are clearly labeled as such and never influence editorial content.
- Conflicts of interest (personal, financial, or familial) must be disclosed internally and, when relevant, to readers.
4. Sources and Attribution
- Sources are protected when confidentiality is requested and justified.
- Anonymous sources are used only when essential and after rigorous verification by editors.
- All borrowed content, images, data, or ideas from other publications or creators are properly attributed with links or credits. Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate corrective action.
- Original reporting is prioritized; wire or agency content, if used, is credited appropriately.
5. Sensitivity and Ethical Standards
- We respect privacy and avoid unnecessary intrusion into personal lives, especially in matters of grief, trauma, or vulnerability.
- Reporting on minors, victims of crime, or marginalized communities is handled with extra care and sensitivity.
- We avoid gratuitous depiction of violence, hate speech, or content that incites discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, ethnicity, or any other identity.
- Images and videos are used responsibly and only when they serve a clear journalistic purpose.
6. Opinion and Commentary
- Editorials, columns, and opinion pieces represent the views of the author or the publication and are clearly labeled as “Opinion,” “Editorial,” or “Viewpoint.”
- Opinion content may express strong views but must be grounded in facts and reasoned argument.
- We welcome diverse viewpoints and may publish guest contributions, provided they meet our standards of civility and factual basis.
7. Corrections and Transparency
- Errors, whether factual, typographical, or contextual, are corrected promptly and transparently.
- A correction notice is added at the top or bottom of the article, clearly stating what was wrong and the accurate information. Significant errors may warrant a separate clarification article.
- Readers are encouraged to report errors or concerns.
8. Community Engagement and Feedback
- We value reader feedback and encourage constructive dialogue through comments (when enabled), emails, or social media.
- Comments are moderated to prevent abuse, spam, hate speech, or off-topic content.
- We may remove or edit user-generated content that violates community guidelines.
9. Compliance with Laws
- All content complies with applicable Indian laws, including the Press Council of India guidelines, Information Technology Act, and defamation laws.
