Editorial Guidelines
Purpose Statement:

These guidelines are designed to uphold the principles of credible, ethical, and responsible journalism. All contributors are expected to follow them to ensure the publication maintains its integrity, professionalism, and commitment to factual, balanced reporting.

1. Accuracy and Balance
All news reports must be accurate, thoroughly researched, factual, and balanced in tone and presentation.

2. Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Limited overlap (up to 20%) may be acceptable only if properly attributed and unavoidable due to factual reporting. Articles not meeting standards will be returned for revision.

3. Content Type Restrictions
Religious or opinion-based content is not permitted, except in designated sections such as Op-Eds or Features, where such expression is editorially approved.

4. Coverage of Banned Organizations
No articles or reports concerning banned organizations (e.g., TTP, BLA, etc.) may be published without prior approval from the Editor-in-Charge.

5. Geopolitical and Sensitive Topics
All reports related to Palestine, Israel, or Kashmir must be reviewed and approved by the Editor-in-Charge before publication.
No pro-Israel content will be accepted if it negates or undermines the Palestinian cause.
In the case of sensitive topics, a viewer discretion disclaimer must be included within the report.
6. Graphic Content Policy
The use of images depicting blood, dead bodies, violence, or any other grotesque or disturbing visuals is strictly prohibited.

7. National Integrity
Any material that is anti-military or anti-Pakistan in nature will not be published under any circumstances. Failure to adhere to this clause will result in immediate termination.

8. Criticism of Government
Constructive criticism of government policies or officials is permitted, provided it is based on verifiable facts and presented objectively.

9. Language and Clarity Standards
All submissions must be free of spelling, grammatical, and language errors. Repetitive or unnecessary points should be avoided. Articles not meeting editorial language standards will be returned for revision.

10. Compliance and Disciplinary Action
Adherence to these editorial guidelines is mandatory. If the outlined standards are not met despite three warnings, the intern or writer will be terminated immediately.
