At Balaghat News, we are deeply committed to transparency, integrity, and ethical journalism. Our operations are guided by a strong Code of Ethics, ensuring responsible and dignified conduct in all our affairs. We present these principles for your awareness and understanding.
Our Premise
Balaghat News was established to bridge the gap left by mainstream media, where the disconnect between reported news and public perception created a void.
Our goal is to redefine the concept of ‘breaking news’ by prioritizing accuracy over speed, preventing the spread of false or misleading information in society.
To uphold our mission of being a reliable and trusted news source, we adhere to a set of core ethical principles.
Our Ethical Principles
🔹 Neutrality & Dialogue – We serve as an unbiased platform that fosters dialogue, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and political perspectives to discuss and address critical issues.
🔹 Accuracy & Credibility – We report only the most reliable and verified information available at the time of publication, ensuring factual correctness.
🔹 Proper Attribution – Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited. We always credit sources where applicable.
🔹 Balanced & Unbiased Reporting – Our content is based on logical reasoning, free from undue influence or bias.
🔹 Separation of Business & Editorial Decisions – Editorial integrity is paramount. Business interests will never dictate editorial decisions.
🔹 Prioritizing Truth Over Speed – We do not rush to break news at the cost of accuracy. If sufficient information is unavailable, we wait rather than speculate.
🔹 Diverse Perspectives – We strive to include multiple voices in our stories, ensuring fairness and balance.
🔹 Accountability & Corrections – In the event of an error, we take responsibility, issue corrections, and make public apologies if necessary.
🔹 Transparency in Sponsored Content – Any non-editorial content, including advertisements or advertorials, is clearly labeled to maintain transparency.
🔹 Editorial Independence & Resilience – We stand firm against external pressures, ensuring that our editorial team operates independently and ethically. In cases of legal disputes or harassment, we stand in full support of our editorial team.
At Balaghat News, we believe in journalism that empowers, informs, and upholds the highest standards of truth and responsibility.
