At indNews, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity, responsibility, and transparency. As a digital news publisher, we align ourselves with the principles set forth in the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) Code of Ethics, ensuring that our journalism serves the public interest and respects the rights of individuals.
1. Accuracy and Fairness
We are committed to publishing news that is accurate, well-sourced, and verified. Our editorial team makes every effort to present facts in a fair and balanced manner, avoiding sensationalism or distortion.
2. Transparency and Accountability
indNews acknowledges responsibility for all published content. We maintain transparency in our sourcing, and clearly distinguish between news, opinion, and sponsored content. In the case of factual errors, we promptly issue corrections as per our Correction Policy.
3. Independence and Integrity
Our editorial decisions are made independently and are free from external influence — including political, commercial, or ideological pressures. We do not accept payments or favors in exchange for coverage or editorial preference.
4. Respect for Privacy
We respect the privacy of individuals and will not intrude on it unless there is a clear public interest. Personal data and sensitive information are handled with utmost care and in compliance with relevant laws and ethical norms.
5. Avoidance of Hate Speech
We strictly avoid publishing or promoting content that spreads hatred or incites violence against any individual or group based on race, religion, gender, nationality, or any other identifier.
6. Differentiation Between News and Opinion
We clearly mark opinion pieces, analysis, and commentary to avoid misleading our readers. News stories are fact-based and objective, while opinions are the responsibility of the respective authors.
7. Compliance with the Law
indNews operates in full compliance with the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and follows all applicable guidelines issued by regulatory authorities.
8. Content Responsibility
As members of a responsible digital media ecosystem, we ensure that all user-generated content, comments, and third-party inputs on our platform are moderated to prevent the spread of misinformation, offensive content, or illegal material.
