At KhabrBite, journalism is built on trust, responsibility, and public interest.
This Editorial Policy outlines the principles, standards, and processes that guide how news is gathered, reported, edited, and published on KhabrBite.com.
Editorial Independence
KhabrBite operates as an independent digital news platform.
- We are not affiliated with any political party, government body, or ideological group.
- Editorial decisions are made independently by our newsroom.
- Advertisers, sponsors, or partners do not influence news coverage, headlines, or editorial opinions.
Our primary responsibility is to our readers.
Accuracy & Verification
Accuracy is at the core of our journalism.
- All news stories are based on verified information from credible sources.
- We rely on official statements, on-ground reporting, trusted agencies, documents, and multiple-source confirmation wherever possible.
- Headlines, visuals, and summaries are written to reflect facts clearly and responsibly, without distortion or sensationalism.
If information is still developing, it is clearly stated as such.
Fairness & Balance
KhabrBite is committed to fair, balanced, and unbiased reporting.
- We aim to present multiple perspectives on matters of public importance.
- We avoid hate speech, misinformation, misleading narratives, or content that promotes discrimination or violence.
- Opinion-based content, analysis, or explainers are clearly distinguished from factual news reporting.
Ethical Journalism Standards
Our newsroom follows responsible journalism practices, including:
- Respect for individual privacy and dignity
- Sensitivity in reporting on tragedies, crimes, and vulnerable groups
- Avoidance of clickbait, exaggerated claims, or misleading visuals
- Responsible use of images, videos, and social media content
Public interest always takes precedence over speed or virality.
Use of Sources
- Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the information is clearly in the public interest.
- We strive to attribute information to identifiable and reliable sources wherever possible.
- Rumours, unverified claims, and misleading social media content are not published as news.
Sponsored & Promotional Content
- Any sponsored content, advertorials, or paid promotions (if published) are clearly labeled.
- Sponsored material is kept separate from editorial news coverage.
- Readers can easily distinguish between independent journalism and promotional content.
Corrections Policy
KhabrBite acknowledges that errors can occur despite careful editorial processes.
How We Handle Corrections:
- Factual errors are corrected promptly once identified or brought to our attention.
- Corrections or clarifications are clearly mentioned at the bottom of the article, along with the date of the update.
- Significant corrections are made transparently, without removing the original context unless legally required.
We do not silently alter content to hide mistakes.

Retractions
Articles are not removed or retracted unless:

Such decisions are taken at the editorial level.
