At Dinkar Samwad (दिनकर संवाद), we are committed to responsible, accurate, transparent, and ethical journalism. Our editorial policy provides guidelines for the preparation, verification, publication, and correction of news and other editorial content published on our website.
Our objective is to provide readers with useful and relevant information while maintaining professional standards of journalism.
1. Editorial Mission
Dinkar Samwad aims to provide timely and meaningful news and information to readers, with a special focus on Jharkhand and Ranchi, along with important national and international developments.
We cover a wide range of subjects, including politics, government, administration, crime, education, employment, business, sports, entertainment, social issues, public affairs, and other matters of public interest.
2. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
Accuracy is one of our primary editorial priorities. We make reasonable efforts to verify important information before publication.
Our editorial team may use official statements, documents, press releases, interviews, credible sources, and other available information to verify facts.
When information is developing or cannot immediately be independently verified, we may clearly indicate the nature or status of the information.
If a factual error is identified after publication, we will review the matter and make an appropriate correction in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
3. Fairness and Balance
Dinkar Samwad aims to present news fairly and responsibly. When a story involves allegations, disputes, or competing claims, we make reasonable efforts to present relevant perspectives and distinguish allegations from established facts.
We do not intend to present unverified allegations as established facts.
Where appropriate, individuals or organizations mentioned in a report may be given an opportunity to respond to allegations or claims.
4. Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are intended to be independent of political, commercial, personal, or other external influence.
Advertising, sponsorship, partnerships, or other commercial relationships should not automatically determine the editorial content of our news reports.
Where content is promotional, sponsored, or otherwise commercial in nature, we aim to distinguish it from independent editorial reporting.
5. Sources
We use information from sources that we consider relevant and reasonably reliable for the subject being reported.
Sources may include government departments, official records, public documents, press conferences, statements, interviews, eyewitness accounts, news agencies, and other credible sources.
Anonymous sources may be used in appropriate circumstances when the information is considered important and the source has a legitimate reason to remain unidentified. We may withhold identifying details where necessary to protect the source.
6. User-Generated Content
Comments, tips, photographs, videos, opinions, or other material submitted by users may be reviewed before publication.
User-generated content does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of Dinkar Samwad. We reserve the right to edit, reject, restrict, or remove content that is unlawful, abusive, defamatory, misleading, discriminatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate.
7. Headlines and Images
Headlines are intended to accurately represent the subject of an article and attract reader attention without deliberately misleading readers.
Images and photographs should be used responsibly and, where applicable, with appropriate attribution or permission. We aim to avoid the unnecessary use of misleading, manipulated, or unrelated images.
8. Corrections and Updates
Dinkar Samwad recognizes the importance of correcting factual errors.
When a significant factual error is identified, we may update the article and, where appropriate, include a correction or clarification. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or stylistic changes may be made without a separate correction notice.
Readers can report potential errors through our contact information.
9. Privacy and Sensitive Information
We respect the privacy of individuals and aim to avoid publishing unnecessary personal information.
Special care may be taken when reporting on children, victims of crime, vulnerable individuals, or sensitive personal matters. Personal information will generally be published only when there is a legitimate journalistic or public-interest reason and where permitted by applicable law.
10. Crime and Allegations
When reporting on crime or allegations, we aim to distinguish between an allegation, an arrest, a charge, a court proceeding, and a conviction.
A person should not be presented as guilty merely because an allegation has been made or an investigation or legal proceeding is underway.
We also aim to avoid unnecessary details that could cause harm to victims, families, or other vulnerable persons.
11. Political and Public Affairs Coverage
Dinkar Samwad may report on political parties, elected representatives, government institutions, public officials, and political developments.
Our aim is to provide news based on relevant facts and public information rather than promoting any political party, candidate, or ideology.
Political opinions or statements, when reported, should be identified as statements or opinions rather than presented as independently verified facts.
12. Advertising and Sponsored Content
Advertising and editorial content are separate aspects of our website.
Advertisers or commercial partners should not be understood to have editorial control over independent news coverage. Sponsored or promotional content, where published, should be appropriately identified wherever practical.
13. AI, Digital Tools, and Technology
Dinkar Samwad may use digital tools and technology to assist with research, editing, formatting, translation, content organization, or other newsroom processes.
Technology-assisted content remains subject to editorial review. We aim to verify important facts and ensure that published material meets our editorial standards.
14. Transparency and Accountability
We believe that transparency helps build trust between a news organization and its readers.
If we identify a significant mistake, we aim to correct it appropriately. We also welcome legitimate feedback, questions, and concerns from readers regarding our editorial content.
