Editorial Policy

Last Updated: January 25, 2026

At NewsDash, our mission is to provide accurate, fair, and transparent news to our readers. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles that guide our journalism and the standards we hold ourselves to every day.

1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking

Accuracy is our top priority. We strive to verify all information before publication.

• Primary Sources: We prioritize first-hand accounts and official documents.
• Verification: Our team cross-references facts across multiple reliable sources to ensure the integrity of our reporting.
• Technical News: For technology and financial news, we rely on data from verified industry experts and official company releases.

2. Independence and Impartiality

NewsDash is an independent news organization. We are not aligned with any political party, corporate interest, or government body.

• Objectivity: Our reporters and writers are committed to presenting the news without bias, ensuring that multiple perspectives are represented in complex stories.
• Conflict of Interest: We require our contributors to disclose any personal or financial interests that might conflict with their reporting.

3. Corrections and Clarifications

We believe in accountability. If we make a mistake, we acknowledge it and correct it promptly.

• Corrections: Significant factual errors will be corrected within the article, and a “Correction Note” will be added at the bottom or top of the page to inform readers what was changed.
• Reporting Errors: Readers can report potential errors directly to us at contact@newsdash.in.

4. Sourcing and Attribution

Transparency builds trust. We clearly attribute information to the original source.

• Plagiarism: NewsDash has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. All content must be original or properly credited.
• Anonymous Sources: We only use anonymous sources when the information is of high public interest and cannot be obtained otherwise. We will always explain to the reader why a source was granted anonymity.

5. Opinion and Analysis

We distinguish between hard news reporting and opinion pieces.

• Labeling: Any content that expresses a personal opinion or subjective analysis will be clearly labeled as “Opinion,” “Analysis,” or “Editorial” to avoid confusing the reader.

6. Ethics in Digital Reporting

In the fast-paced world of digital news, we do not sacrifice accuracy for speed.

• Clickbait: We avoid sensationalist or misleading headlines (“clickbait”). Our headlines must accurately reflect the content of the article.
• AI Disclosure: If any part of an article is generated or assisted by Artificial Intelligence, we maintain human oversight to ensure factual accuracy and ethical standards.

7. Sensitivity and Respect

We report on sensitive issues with empathy and respect for the individuals involved. We avoid publishing graphic content or hate speech that serves no legitimate journalistic purpose.
