Ethics Policy
At govtyojana.newsportal5.com, ethical journalism is at the core of everything we publish. Our goal is to deliver truthful, responsible, and transparent reporting that respects both our audience and the subjects we cover. We believe that trust is earned through honesty, accountability, and integrity — and we work hard every day to uphold these values.
This Ethics Policy outlines the principles that guide our editorial decisions and newsroom behavior.
Commitment to Truth & Accuracy
We strive to ensure all information published on our website is accurate, verified, and based on credible sources. We do not intentionally publish false or misleading content, and we avoid speculation or unverified rumors. In case errors occur, we take prompt action to correct them transparently.
Fairness, Balance & Respect
We present stories impartially and without favoritism. Our reporting is:
-
Free from personal bias,
-
Respectful to all individuals and communities,
-
Balanced in cases of conflicting perspectives.
We avoid discrimination based on gender, religion, caste, race, nationality, disability, or other identity factors.
Independence & Transparency
govtyojana.newsportal5.com maintains complete editorial independence.
Decisions related to news coverage are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, political groups, or external pressure.
Any sponsored content, advertisements, or affiliate links are disclosed clearly and kept separate from editorial content.
Privacy & Sensitivity
We respect the privacy of individuals and avoid publishing content that may cause unnecessary harm, embarrassment, or safety risks.
We handle sensitive topics with care, especially those involving minors, victims, or vulnerable communities.
We do not publish personal information unless it is legally permitted and in the public interest.
No Plagiarism Policy
We strictly prohibit copying or reproducing content from other sources without proper credit.

Original reporting and unique perspective are essential parts of our work.
Conflict of Interest
Our writers, editors, and contributors must disclose any personal, professional, or financial interests connected to the subjects they cover.

Responsible Use of AI
We may use AI tools for research or assistance in drafting content. However:
-
All AI-generated text is reviewed and edited by humans,
-
AI never overrides journalistic ethics or verification processes,
-
AI is used only as a supportive tool, not a replacement for real editorial judgment.

-
Hate speech
-
Abusive, offensive, or violent content
-
Misinformation or spam
