NewsSutra.com is committed to delivering factual, responsible, and unbiased journalism that informs, educates, and empowers readers. Our editorial principles are built on accuracy, fairness, public interest, transparency, ethical news collection, and accountability. We strongly believe that trust is earned, maintained, and protected through consistent journalistic discipline.
1. Vision & Editorial Responsibility
Our mission is to provide high-quality news and analysis that reflect real-world events without distortion or manipulation. We follow strict editorial procedures from news selection to publication. Editors, reporters, and contributors are required to adhere to the highest standards of journalistic conduct.
The editorial team holds complete authority over published content. Business partnerships, advertising, sponsorships, or external affiliations do not influence editorial decisions.
2. Editorial Independence
NewsSutra.com maintains full editorial independence. We do not accept political, ideological, financial, or personal influence over our news coverage. Editorial choices are based entirely on relevance, newsworthiness, public impact, factual evidence, and informational value.
We do not accept hidden advertising, paid news, or sponsored manipulation of editorial content. All sponsored or branded content, if ever included, will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored”, “Advertorial”, or “Partner Content”.
3. Accuracy, Verification & Source Standards
We believe that accuracy is not negotiable. Every news item undergoes checks for factual clarity, credible sourcing, and context. Our sourcing and verification guidelines include:
-
Preference for official agencies, documented evidence, and on-record statements
-
Use of multiple independent credible sources where applicable
-
Avoidance of rumours, social media speculation, or unverified claims
-
Proper attribution for third-party information
When reporting developing or breaking stories, we clearly indicate that the information is evolving, and we update it when new facts are available.
4. Fairness, Balance & Representation
We strive to ensure all sides of relevant issues are represented fairly, particularly regarding political, cultural, legal, and social matters. We avoid language that is discriminatory, inflammatory, or targeted to harm any group, community, or individual.
We do not publish content that encourages hate, violence, harassment, or stigma.
5. Use of AI-Assisted Tools
To maintain transparency and content reliability:
-
AI tools may be used only for research, structure, or assistance — not for publishing unverified information
-
Final publishing decisions remain with human editors
-
AI-generated content is fact-checked before publication
6. Opinion and Editorial Content Standards
Opinion articles are clearly separated from factual reporting. They represent the individual viewpoints of writers and do not necessarily reflect the stance of NewsSutra.com. Unlike news reports, opinion pieces may include analytical reasoning, predictions, and personal interpretations — but must remain respectful, logical, and evidence-based.
7. Sensitive Content & Safety Policy
We follow strict caution when publishing content related to:
-
Crime, violence, and accidents
-
Suicide, mental health, and trauma
-
Children, minors, and vulnerable communities
Graphic, sensational, or disturbing visuals or descriptions are avoided unless essential for public awareness, and proper disclaimers are added.
8. Corrections, Updates & Retractions
We acknowledge that errors can occur. If inaccuracies come to our attention:
-
We verify the claim immediately
-
Make appropriate edits or corrections
-
Add a time-stamp or note if required
We do not delete incorrect content to hide mistakes unless legally necessary — instead, we correct it transparently as part of ethical journalism.
Readers can report errors to: support@newssutra.com
9. Reader Interaction & Feedback Policy
We welcome respectful feedback and suggestions. Comments or submitted content must follow appropriate digital behaviour. The editorial team reserves the right to review, moderate, or remove comments that contain:
-
Hate speech
-
Abuse or harassment
-
Defamation
-
False or misleading claims
-
Advertising or spam
10. Legal Compliance
NewsSutra.com follows relevant Indian cyber laws, digital media regulations, copyright norms, and online publishing rules. Copyright, privacy, and intellectual property laws are respected at all stages of reporting.
