Editorial Policy & Code of Ethics
Drashtikon is committed to independent, accurate, and responsible journalism. Our editorial policy reflects our dedication to truth, transparency, and public interest reporting. We aim to inform, engage, and empower our audience while maintaining the highest standards of ethical journalism.
Editorial Independence
We maintain full editorial independence. Our journalists and editors operate free from influence by advertisers, sponsors, political groups, or any external interest. All editorial decisions are based solely on newsworthiness and public interest.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive for accuracy in every report. All facts are verified through credible sources before publication. Where uncertainty exists, it is clearly stated. Misleading headlines and clickbait are strictly avoided.
Sourcing and Attribution
We credit all sources appropriately and avoid plagiarism. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the source is known to be credible. Any quotations are presented in context and not manipulated to mislead.
Fairness and Balance
Our content seeks to represent a range of views fairly and without bias. We aim to give all sides of a story a chance to be heard, especially on controversial or sensitive issues. We do not promote hate, misinformation, or discriminatory narratives.
Corrections and Clarifications
If we make an error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are marked, and the original content is updated. We encourage readers to report errors or request clarifications by contacting us at drashtikonnews@gmail.com.
Conflicts of Interest
Our writers and editors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest. Contributors must not report on topics in which they have a personal or financial stake.
User-Generated Content
We reserve the right to moderate comments or submissions that violate our standards of accuracy, fairness, or civility. Hate speech, spam, and abusive content will be removed.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
Any paid or sponsored content is clearly labelled. Such content does not influence our editorial independence and is held to ethical standards in line with our core policies.
Commitment to Transparency
We believe in transparency as the foundation of public trust. Our policies, corrections, and editorial standards are openly shared with our audience.
