Editorial Policy

At News 24 Taaza, we are committed to delivering accurate, impartial, and timely news. This Editorial Policy explains how we create, fact-check, edit, and update content to meet industry standards — including Google News, Google Discover, Top Stories, and SEO best practices.

1 Accuracy & Fact-Checking

  • Primary sources first: We prioritise official documents, government releases, public statements, court records, and direct interviews.
  • Cross-verification: Key facts are verified by at least two independent sources before publication.
  • Attribution: All claims and data include clear attribution (link + source name).
  • Fact-check workflow: Reporter → Fact-check → Editor review → Senior editor approval.

2 Editorial Independence

We maintain a strict separation between editorial and commercial teams. Advertisers never control editorial content. All sponsored or paid content is clearly labelled.

3 Corrections & Retractions

If we publish an error, we will correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections include:

  1. An inline correction note at the top or bottom of the article.
  2. Updated publish/modified timestamps with editor initials.
  3. Public retractions for seriously incorrect or harmful reporting.

To request a correction, please contact us at .

4 Diversity & Inclusion

We actively seek diverse perspectives, avoid stereotyping, and use inclusive language. We are committed to representing a broad range of communities and viewpoints.

5 User Contributions & Guest Posts

All user-submitted content is reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and policy compliance. Contributors must disclose conflicts of interest and will be clearly credited.

6 Advertising & Sponsored Content

Ads are visually separated from editorial content and clearly labelled. We do not accept content that undermines reader trust or editorial integrity.
