Editoria Policy
JK Global News is committed to accurate, independent, ethical and responsible journalism. We report fairly; we attribute clearly; we correct mistakes transparently. Our editorial policies and processes are always intended to support those values.
We welcome feedback from our readers. If you feel that JK Global News has failed to meet our own standards—or yours—please let us know. You can contact us contact@jkglobalnews.in
GENERAL GUIDELINES
- We expect all JK Global News journalists to comply with these guidelines, but no memo could anticipate every contingency. It is your responsibility as a JK Global News journalist to hold yourself to the highest professional standards.
- You must always represent yourself as a reporter for JK Global News. NEVER use deception or pretense to obtain information.
- Do not accept any remuneration in exchange for coverage. Do not cover any company, industry or issue in which you have a financial interest.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of your story. Check every single fact that you include: dates, spelling of names, titles, timelines, numbers and other statistics. Hard-check any superlative—i.e., is this really the first, the worst, the only, the highest?
- Write what we know. Be clear about what we don’t know or what information is open to debate, and do not speculate.
- Weigh the data and evidence impartially. Acknowledge and include analyses or interpretations that may conflict with your personal views.
- Reach out for comment and give parties time to respond. (The length of time to wait is a judgment call relative to the seriousness of the story. If we are accusing a person or company of wrongdoing, we must include fair comment.)
- If you engage with a reader or the public, you must be respectful and civil at all times. No profanity, no ad hominem attacks.
CORRECTIONS
- If you are contacted about a possible error in your story, examine the question fairly, with an open mind.
- If we have indeed erred, you are responsible for writing a correction, noting that at the bottom of the story and notifying your editor and the editor-in-chief.
- We make any needed corrections promptly and transparently.
- If we need to retract a story, we do so transparently. We do not un-publish or “disappear” problem copy.
AGGREGATION
- Credit the source or sources of the story in the second paragraph. Explicitly name-check them.
With very rare exception, do not aggregate stories that rely on anonymous sources: we don’t know how reliable or independent the source might be. If a responsible publication relies on an anonymous source, it may be acceptable to cite it, but only after discussion with editor. - JK Global News reporters should use anonymous sources only rarely, in consultation with their editors (at least one of whom must know the identity of the source).
- Essentially, try to fact-check your story by using as many sources as possible.
When writing about criminal charges or allegations, be specific and complete. What was the precise charge, if any? Did the accused person plead not guilty? Did a lawyer deny the allegations? If there was a conviction, check on what count(s).Double-check all these details. Unless someone has been convicted, all headlines and other text must clearly state that the crime is alleged. Use language such as “allegedly” or “accused of” or “arrested in connection with” (not “arrested for,” which implies guilt). - If in any doubt about the source or material, abort the story.
- In general, we avoid profanity, especially in headlines, and use it only in quotations where it is relevant and necessary.
- We do not publish nude photos (or links to them) or grisly, graphic images.
