At Nagaland News Today, we are committed to delivering news that is accurate, relevant, and impactful. Our work is rooted in the belief that journalism must inform, empower, and reflect the realities of life in Nagaland and the wider Northeast region.
This Editorial Policy sets forth the values and journalistic standards that shape our newsroom practices and reporting approach.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
We uphold the highest standard of factual integrity. Every story is thoroughly checked and cross-referenced with multiple trusted sources. If any information cannot be independently confirmed, we explicitly acknowledge this. When mistakes occur, we correct them quickly and transparently.
2. Independence in Journalism
Our editorial decisions are entirely independent of political, financial, or external influence. We do not accept payments for news coverage and refrain from blending advertisements with editorial content. Our sole responsibility is to the truth and the public we serve.
3. Fair and Impartial Reporting
We ensure that all sides of an issue are given fair voice. In stories involving allegations or criticism, we make every effort to include the responses of those involved. We reject bias, sensationalism, or any content that distorts the facts for emotional effect.
4. Responsibility and Corrections
We take full responsibility for what we publish. When errors are discovered—either by us or by readers—we investigate and make corrections as needed. Major updates or changes are clearly highlighted to maintain transparency.
5. Upholding Ethical Standards
Our reporters follow strict ethical guidelines. We treat sources with dignity and care, especially in sensitive situations. Plagiarism is never tolerated, and original authors or contributors are always credited.
6. Clarity and Labeling
We clearly identify news reports, opinion articles, and analysis pieces. Editorial opinions are always labeled and do not reflect the official stance of Nagaland News Today unless specifically stated.
7. Dedication to Public Service
We exist to serve the people—providing journalism that supports informed decisions, democratic participation, and civic awareness. Trust is the foundation of our work, and we strive every day to earn it through honesty, integrity, and openness.
As the media environment continues to evolve, so too will this policy. We welcome feedback from our readers as part of our ongoing mission to improve and serve with greater accountability.
