Ethics Policy

News Report is committed to responsible, independent, and ethical journalism. Our primary duty is to serve the public interest by providing accurate, fair, and trustworthy news. This Ethics Policy outlines the principles that guide our editorial decisions and reporting practices.

Editorial Independence

News Report maintains full editorial independence. Our journalists and editors make content decisions without influence from political parties, advertisers, sponsors, or external organizations. Editorial judgment is based solely on newsworthiness, public interest, and factual merit.

Accuracy and Verification

We strive to ensure that all published information is accurate and verified through reliable sources. Facts are cross-checked whenever possible, and anonymous sources are used only when necessary and with editorial approval.

Fairness and Balance

News Report aims to present news in a fair, balanced, and impartial manner. We seek to include relevant perspectives, especially on matters of public importance, and avoid misleading or one-sided reporting.

Transparency

We are transparent about our sources, methods, and potential limitations of information. When errors occur, we correct them promptly and clearly.

Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest

Our staff members must avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise journalistic integrity. Personal, financial, or political interests must not influence coverage.

Respect and Sensitivity

We respect the dignity and privacy of individuals. Special care is taken when reporting on minors, victims of crime, and vulnerable groups. Sensationalism, hate speech, and discriminatory content are not permitted.

Plagiarism and Attribution

Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. All original reporting is produced by our team or properly credited. When external material is used, appropriate attribution is provided.

User-Generated Content

Comments and user submissions must follow basic standards of decency and legality. Content that is abusive, defamatory, misleading, or unlawful may be removed.

Commitment to Public Interest

News Report exists to inform the public and support democratic values through truthful and responsible reporting.
