Sources & Attribution (Urdu)

Sources & Attribution Policy
Baaghi TV is committed to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. We believe that our readers deserve to know where our information comes from and how we verify the facts we present. Our reputation is built on the credibility of our sources and the transparency of our reporting.

1. Primary Sourcing
Our editorial team prioritizes primary sources—original documents, official statements, and first-hand accounts from those directly involved in a story. Whenever possible, we aim to provide direct links to the original source material to allow our readers to verify the information themselves.

2. Attribution of External Media
When reporting on news first broken by another media outlet, Baaghi TV provides clear and prominent attribution.

Direct Credit: We identify the original reporting outlet by name within the text of the article.

Hyperlinking: For digital sources, we provide a direct hyperlink to the original story.

Wire Services: Content provided by news agencies (such as Reuters, AP, or APP) is clearly marked and attributed according to our licensing agreements.

3. Use of Anonymous Sources
We understand that some information can only be obtained by protecting the identity of a source. However, Baaghi TV follows a strict protocol for anonymous sourcing:

Necessity: Anonymous sources are only used when the information is of significant public interest and cannot be obtained on the record elsewhere.

Verification: The identity of the source must be known to the lead editor to ensure their credibility and lack of ulterior motives.

Description: We will provide readers with as much context as possible about the source's background (e.g., "a senior official in the Ministry of Finance") without compromising their safety.

4. Visual Media Attribution
All photographs, graphics, and videos used on Baaghi TV are either:

Produced in-house by our creative team.

Licensed through authorized agencies.

Used with the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

Used under "Fair Use" or "Public Domain" guidelines with appropriate credits provided in the caption.

5. Corrections and Fact-Checking
In line with our About Us mission, any information found to be inaccurately attributed or sourced will be corrected immediately. We encourage our readers to contact our Newsroom (newsroom@baaghitv.com) if they believe an attribution is missing or incorrect.

6. Commitment to Intellectual Property
Baaghi TV respects the intellectual property of others. We do not tolerate plagiarism. Any journalist or contributor found to be passing off the work of others as their own will face immediate disciplinary action.
