Editorial standards

Hindi's News aims to publish clear, useful and responsible editorial material. These principles describe the standards we work towards as the journal develops.

Accuracy and context

Factual claims should be checked against reliable material before publication. We aim to provide enough context for readers to understand what is known, what remains uncertain and where an interpretation is being offered.

Sources

When an article relies on external research, data or specialist guidance, relevant sources should be identified in the article. Sources should be appropriate to the subject and as close as possible to the original research or information.

Clarity and independence

Editorial explanations and commentary should be distinguishable. Headlines should represent the substance of the article and should not exaggerate its findings. Commercial interests should not be presented as independent editorial judgement.

Corrections

If a material error is identified, the article should be corrected and the change explained where appropriate. We do not knowingly present invented events, fabricated quotations or fictional reporting as factual news.

Coverage

The journal focuses on science, technology, culture, the environment and everyday life. Political coverage is outside the scope of Hindi's News.

These standards are intended to guide the site's editorial work and should be reviewed as the publication grows.
