Rashtra Samvad Times is committed to the principles of independent, factual, fair, balanced, and responsible journalism. We strive to provide news and information in the public interest while maintaining appropriate editorial standards.
Accuracy and Factual Reporting
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that news reports are based on available facts, reliable information, official sources, and credible evidence.
Verification
Important information is verified, wherever reasonably possible, before publication. When complete verification is not possible, the nature and source of the information will be presented appropriately.
Fair and Balanced Reporting
We aim to present news fairly and in its proper context. Wherever reasonably possible, the concerned person, organization, or institution may be given an opportunity to provide its response or version.
Allegations and Presumption of Innocence
Allegations, complaints, FIRs, arrests, investigations, or legal proceedings will not automatically be presented as proof of guilt. A person will not be treated as guilty unless guilt is established by a competent court of law.
Responsible Headlines
Headlines should reflect the substance of the news report and should not intentionally mislead readers or create a false impression.
Avoidance of Sensationalism
We strive to avoid unnecessary sensationalism, exaggerated claims, misleading presentation, or language intended only to create fear, hatred, or public outrage.
Sensitive and Special Cases
While reporting matters involving women, children, victims of crime, sexual offences, or other sensitive subjects, we will take appropriate care and follow applicable legal and privacy requirements.
Social and Communal Sensitivity
Reports involving religion, caste, community, language, or other sensitive social issues will be handled responsibly. We strive to avoid content that unnecessarily promotes hatred, discrimination, hostility, or social tension.
Privacy and Personal Information
Private or personal information will not be unnecessarily published where it has no legitimate connection with the public interest or the news being reported.
Photographs and Videos
Photographs, videos, and other visual material should be used responsibly and, wherever possible, in their correct context. Misleading presentation of old or unrelated visual material as current content should be avoided.
Advertising and Editorial Content
Advertising, sponsored, or promotional content should be appropriately distinguished from independent editorial content wherever required, so that readers are not unnecessarily misled.
Corrections and Updates
If a factual error is identified and verified, Rashtra Samvad Times may publish an appropriate correction, clarification, or update in accordance with our Correction Policy.
Editorial Independence
Rashtra Samvad Times strives to make editorial decisions based on facts, public interest, responsible journalism, and applicable laws and journalistic principles.
