At PakhtunDigital.com, our mission is to deliver news and information with integrity, accuracy, and fairness. This editorial policy outlines the core principles that guide our journalistic practices and uphold the trust we aim to build with our audience. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical journalism.
Our Commitment to Accuracy and Fact-Checking
Accuracy is the foundation of our work. Our writers and editors are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking all content before it is published. We take deliberate steps to verify information, including corroborating claims with multiple sources and ensuring data is presented in its proper context. We are committed to providing news that is not only timely but also truthful.
Sourcing and Attribution
We believe in transparency and giving credit where it is due. Our content relies on credible sourcing, and we make every effort to attribute information to its original source. We use named sources whenever possible to enhance transparency. When anonymity is necessary to protect a source from harm or retribution, we will clearly explain the reason to our readers without compromising the source’s safety.
Editorial Independence
PakhtunDigital.com maintains complete editorial independence. Our news coverage is driven by our journalistic mission, not by the interests of advertisers, investors, or any other external parties. We maintain a strict separation between our editorial content and our advertising or sponsored content. Any sponsored articles are clearly labeled as such to ensure there is no confusion for our readers.
Fairness and Impartiality
We are committed to providing balanced and impartial coverage. Our goal is to present all sides of a story without bias. We give subjects of our news coverage a fair opportunity to comment or respond. Our opinion pieces are distinct from our news reporting and are clearly marked to represent the viewpoint of the author, not necessarily that of PakhtunDigital.com.
Corrections Policy
We hold ourselves accountable for the content we publish. If we make an error, we are committed to correcting it promptly and transparently. Corrections for minor errors (such as typos or grammatical mistakes) will be made directly in the content. For significant factual errors, we will issue a formal correction notice on the article, clarifying the mistake and providing the correct information.
If you believe you have found an error in our content, please contact us at editor@pakhtundigital.com.
Transparency and Accountability
Our relationship with our readers is built on trust. We are accountable for our work and transparent about our processes. This editorial policy serves as a public declaration of our standards. We welcome feedback from our audience and are committed to engaging with our community to ensure we live up to our principles.
