Editorial Policy
The Indian Dispatch is an independent digital news platform committed to factual reporting, editorial integrity, and public accountability.
Our journalism is guided by the following principles:
Accuracy and Verification
We verify information through primary sources wherever possible. Claims, data, and quotations are cross-checked before publication. When information cannot be independently verified, it is clearly stated.
Independence
The Indian Dispatch maintains editorial independence from political parties, corporate interests, and advertisers. Editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial considerations.
Fairness and Balance
We strive to present issues in context and include relevant perspectives, particularly on matters of public interest. Criticism, analysis, and opinion are clearly distinguished from news reporting.
Accountability
Errors are acknowledged and corrected promptly. We believe transparency strengthens trust with readers.
Sensitivity and Responsibility
We exercise restraint in reporting on violence, tragedy, and vulnerable individuals. Sensationalism, hate speech, and incitement are not tolerated.
Opinion and Analysis
Opinion pieces reflect the views of the author and not necessarily those of The Indian Dispatch. All opinion content is clearly labelled.
Editorial Independence Statement
The Indian Dispatch does not accept paid news, advertorials disguised as editorial content, or undisclosed sponsored coverage.
Sponsored content, where published, is clearly labelled. Policy
The Indian Dispatch is an independent digital newsroom committed to accurate reporting, contextual analysis, and editorial restraint.
Our journalism is guided by the principles of verification, clarity, and public interest. We report on matters of governance, policy, economy, society, and global affairs with the aim of informing readers rather than provoking reaction.
We distinguish clearly between news, analysis, and opinion:
- News reporting is factual, verified, and presented without editorial bias.
- Analysis provides context and interpretation based on established facts.
- Opinion pieces reflect the views of the author and are published under bylines.
The Indian Dispatch does not publish anonymous opinion. All contributors are identified, and responsibility for views expressed in opinion pieces rests with the authors.
We do not publish content designed to inflame, sensationalise, or mislead. Headlines and presentation are written to reflect the substance of the reporting, not to exaggerate it.
Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external interests.
