🎯Our Editorial Mission

Subkuz.com is committed to delivering accurate, fair, impartial, and independently verified news across all our editions. Our editorial policy governs how we gather, verify, publish, and correct information. Every journalist and contributor at Subkuz is expected to adhere to these standards without exception.

We serve readers across 14 languages and 200+ cities. This diversity makes our responsibility to truth and accuracy all the more important.

📜Core Editorial Principles

  • Accuracy: We verify all facts before publication. We do not publish unverified claims.
  • Fairness & Balance: We present multiple perspectives on contested matters and do not take editorial sides in political or social disputes.
  • Independence: Our editorial decisions are made solely by our editors, free from commercial, political, or advertiser pressure.
  • Impartiality: We do not favour any political party, religion, caste, or community in our coverage.
  • Transparency: We disclose our sources when possible and are transparent about our methods.
  • Accountability: We correct errors promptly and openly. See our Corrections Policy.

✍️Content Standards

Original Reporting: All news articles must be based on original reporting or clearly attributed to source publications with appropriate credit.

Source Standards: We rely on primary sources — official documents, on-record interviews, government data — wherever possible. Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when the information is in the public interest and cannot be obtained otherwise.

Headline Standards: Headlines must accurately reflect the content of the article. Sensationalist, misleading, or clickbait headlines are prohibited.

Opinion vs. Reporting: Opinion content is clearly labelled and separated from news reporting. Columnists express their own views and not those of Subkuz.com.

🚫Prohibited Practices

  • Publishing unverified rumours as fact
  • Plagiarism or content lifting without attribution
  • Accepting payment for editorial coverage (advertorial must be clearly labelled)
  • Publishing content that incites hatred, communal tension, or violence
  • Revealing identities of minors, victims of sexual offences, or protected sources
  • Distorting images, audio, or video to misrepresent facts
