At News Zier, we are committed to accurate, fair, and responsible journalism. Our mission is to provide readers with fact-based, impartial, and transparent reporting. This policy outlines our editorial principles, correction procedures, and ethical guidelines to uphold journalistic integrity.
1. Accuracy & Editorial Standards
1.1 Commitment to Accuracy
- Every article published by News Zier is subject to rigorous fact-checking and editorial review.
- We rely on verified sources, official records, expert interviews, and independent fact-checking to ensure the accuracy of our content.
- When citing third-party reports, we provide clear attribution and links to the source.
1.2 Fact-Checking Process
- All stories undergo pre-publication verification by our Editorial Team.
- If a story includes developing information, we indicate it as such and update it as more details become available.
- If an error is identified post-publication, it is corrected promptly and transparently (see Section 2).
1.3 Sources & Attribution
- News Zier prioritizes original reporting. Our journalists gather firsthand information through direct sources, interviews, and on-the-ground reporting whenever possible.
- When citing third-party reports, we provide clear attribution and direct links to the original source.
- Anonymous sources are used only when necessary, and their credibility is verified by at least two independent confirmations.
- We do not publish unverified rumors, speculative claims, or AI-generated news without human oversight.
2. Corrections & Updates
We acknowledge that mistakes can occur, and we are committed to prompt and transparent corrections.
2.1 Correction Tiers
Minor Edits (Grammar, Spelling, Formatting)
- Minor changes (e.g., typos, non-substantive updates) are made without a correction notice, as they do not alter the meaning of the article.
Substantive Corrections (Factual Errors, Misquotes, Clarifications)
- If an article contains factual inaccuracies, a correction notice is added at the bottom of the article.
- Example: “Correction (Feb 17, 2025): This article originally misstated that [incorrect fact]. It has been updated to reflect the correct information.”
Major Corrections & Retractions
- If an article is found to be substantially incorrect or misleading, we issue a formal correction or, in extreme cases, a retraction.
- Example: “Retraction Notice (Feb 17, 2025): This article has been retracted due to incorrect information regarding [topic]. News Zier regrets the error.”
2.2 How to Request a Correction
- Readers, sources, or experts who believe we have made an error can contact our Corrections Desk at wishvakaennos@newszier.com (Editor-in-Chief)
- Correction requests are reviewed by senior editors before a decision is made.
3. Editorial Independence & Ethics
3.1 Editorial Integrity
- News Zier does not accept payments, gifts, or incentives in exchange for editorial coverage.
- All sponsored content or advertisements are clearly labelled to distinguish them from editorial reporting.
- Our journalists do not engage in political activities that could create conflicts of interest.
3.2 Transparency in Reporting
- Articles reflect only the facts, without editorial bias, political influence, or sensationalism.
- If an article is updated with new information, a note will indicate what was changed and why.
- Any potential conflicts of interest are disclosed within the article.
3.3 Use of AI in Journalism
- AI tools may assist in research or formatting, but human editors write, review, and verify all news articles.
- AI-generated content is explicitly disclosed when applicable.
4. Handling Complaints & Ethical Issues
- If you believe an article violates our ethical standards, please submit a formal complaint to [your email].
- Complaints are reviewed by senior editors and, if necessary, referred to our ethics panel for independent evaluation.
- We are committed to fair reporting and will take appropriate action if an article is found to violate ethical guidelines.
