NagalandAI Editorial Policy

NagalandAI Editorial Policy

At NagalandAI, our mission is to provide accurate, timely, and meaningful news that empowers readers with clarity, context, and critical insight particularly in the unique socio-political landscape of Nagaland and Northeast India.

This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and standards that guide our newsroom operations, reporting practices, and content curation.

1. Accuracy and Verification

We are committed to factual accuracy in every report. All news published by NagalandAI is rigorously verified through multiple credible sources. When information cannot be independently confirmed, we clearly indicate this in the story. Factual errors, if discovered, are corrected promptly and transparently.

2. Editorial Independence

NagalandAI operates with full editorial independence. Our content decisions are not influenced by political affiliations, commercial interests, or external pressures. We do not accept paid news or engage in native advertising disguised as editorial content. Our allegiance is solely to the truth and to the public interest.

3. Fairness and Balance

We strive to present diverse perspectives in our reporting, especially on contentious issues. We believe in fair representation and give individuals or institutions the opportunity to respond when they are the subject of criticism or allegations. Sensationalism and bias have no place in our reporting.

4. Accountability and Corrections

We take responsibility for the content we publish. If an error is brought to our attention, it is reviewed and, if warranted, corrected with transparency. Significant corrections or updates are noted clearly at the top or bottom of the article.

5. Ethical Reporting

Our journalists adhere to the highest ethical standards in sourcing, interviewing, and publishing. We respect the rights and dignity of our sources, especially in vulnerable or sensitive contexts. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited, and original authorship is always credited.

6. Editorial Transparency

We clearly distinguish between news, analysis, and opinion. All op-eds or commentary pieces are appropriately labeled and do not reflect the institutional stance of NagalandAI unless explicitly stated.

7. Reader Trust and Public Service

NagalandAI exists to serve the people of Nagaland and beyond, providing public-interest journalism without fear or favour. We aim to foster informed debate, civic engagement, and democratic awareness. Reader trust is our most valued asset, and we strive to earn and maintain it through consistency, transparency, and integrity.

This policy will continue to evolve as we grow and as media standards evolve. We welcome feedback from our readers and remain committed to improving our standards to better serve the public.
