At S.S. Akamrup News Network (ssakamrup.co.in), our commitment is to deliver accurate, fair, and transparent journalism. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and procedures that guide our reporters, editors, and contributors in producing trustworthy news and analysis.
1. Accuracy & Verification
- Source Diversity
We corroborate every fact with at least two independent and reliable sources whenever possible. - Fact‑Checking Team
A dedicated team reviews key data, quotes, statistics, and documents before publication. - Attribution
All information drawn from interviews, reports, or studies is clearly attributed to its origin.
2. Impartiality & Fairness
- Balanced Reporting
We present all relevant viewpoints on any issue, giving subjects and critics equal opportunity to respond. - No Hidden Agendas
Our coverage is free from political, financial, or personal bias. We do not accept editorial direction in exchange for payment or favors. - Language & Tone
We avoid sensationalism and inflammatory language. Headlines and body copy are crafted to inform, not provoke.
3. Transparency & Disclosure
- Corrections & Clarifications
Any factual error discovered post-publication is promptly corrected. Corrections are clearly labeled and timestamped. - Sponsored Content
Advertorials and brand partnerships are explicitly marked as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement.” - Conflict of Interest
Journalists and editors must disclose any personal or financial interest related to the topics they cover.
4. Editorial Independence
- Separation of News and Business
Our newsroom operates independently of the advertising and commercial teams. Business considerations never influence editorial decisions. - Governance
The Chief Editor and Executive Editor have final authority over all published content and maintain oversight of editorial standards.
5. Ethical Standards
- Respect for Privacy
We balance the public’s right to know with individuals’ right to privacy. Sensitive personal information is published only when it is clearly in the public interest. - Anonymous Sources
Use of unnamed sources is minimized and allowed only when information cannot be obtained otherwise and serves the public interest. - Photography & Multimedia
Images and videos must be authentic and accurately represent events. Manipulation that alters meaning is prohibited.
6. Corrections & Accountability
- Error Reporting
Readers are encouraged to flag inaccuracies via [email protected]. - Retractions
Content found to be seriously flawed or misleading may be retracted with an explanation of the reason.
7. Comments & Community Engagement
- Moderation Policy
User comments are moderated to remove hate speech, personal attacks, and spam. Constructive debate is welcomed. - Reader Feedback
We regularly review audience input and may feature reader perspectives as guest columns or in follow‑up stories.
8. Updates & Review
This policy is reviewed annually by our editorial leadership. Any substantial changes will be announced on ssakamrup.co.in and dated at the top of this page.
