About The News Grill
Founded on January 2023, The News Grill is a leading digital news platform committed to delivering accurate, timely, and impartial news and information to our readers. We operate independently and are not affiliated with any news channel operating under Digimarketish Media Pvt Ltd. Our core values include a dedication to public interest, fair play, and journalistic independence. We are a subsidiary of [News Provider/Digimarketish Pvt Ltd], adhering to the highest standards of ethical journalism.
The Three Pillars
Transparency, Credibility, Trustworthiness
At The News Grill, our editorial policies are guided by three fundamental principles:
1. Transparency: We believe in openness and accountability in our reporting. We are committed to providing transparent information about our sources, methods, and potential conflicts of interest.
2. Credibility: Our articles prominently mention the individuals who have contributed to them, including writers, reporters, and editors. This ensures accountability for the content we publish.
3. Trustworthiness: We strive to be a trusted source of news for our readers. Our commitment to accuracy, fairness, and impartiality is at the core of our editorial principles.
Rules of Practice
1. Accuracy: Our highest priority is to ensure the accuracy of our content. Authors and editors must verify the information presented in articles, confirming its truthfulness and timeliness.
2. Credibility: Each article must credit the writers, reporters, contributors, and editors involved in its creation. Transparency about authorship builds trust with our readers.
3. Credit: We adhere to ethical standards regarding content attribution. Writers must provide due attribution when reproducing content from other sources, whenever applicable.
4. Bylines: An article is credited with a byline only when the writer or journalist has significantly contributed to its content. We acknowledge the contributions of other sources when appropriate.
5. Impartiality: We uphold a commitment to impartial news coverage, presenting information without bias. Balanced reporting is a fundamental principle of our journalism.
6. Endorsements: Our writers and authors are prohibited from endorsing or promoting any person or entity through text, videos, or photographs, except when such endorsements are based on the editor’s judgment of their relevance to our readers.
Operating Principles
1. Accuracy Over Speed: While we aim to deliver news promptly, we prioritize accuracy. We believe that it is better to be a minute late than to compromise the integrity of our reporting.
2. Acknowledging Errors: In the event of mistakes or errors, we promptly correct them and provide a clear statement of correction in the content. Minor alterations, such as spelling corrections, are made without notice.
