Our writers and editors aim to verify facts, use reliable sources, and present information in a clear and unbiased manner. When differing viewpoints are relevant, we make reasonable efforts to represent them responsibly.

Use of Sources
We aim to use credible and ethical sources when gathering information. Any data, statistics, or third-party information included in our articles is used responsibly and with respect for intellectual property.
Sponsored Content and Advertising
If NewsHari publishes sponsored content, advertisements, or promotional material, it will be clearly identified to distinguish it from editorial content. Sponsored content does not influence our independent editorial opinions or reporting.
Conflict of Interest
Writers, editors, and contributors are expected to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence their content. This includes financial interests, personal relationships, or affiliations related to the subject matter.
Respect and Responsibility
We are committed to respectful storytelling. NewsHari avoids content that promotes hate, discrimination, misinformation, or harm. Our content respects individuals, communities, and cultures and avoids sensationalism or misleading headlines.
User Interaction and Comments
We encourage healthy discussion and engagement from our readers. However, abusive language, hate speech, spam, or misleading information in comments or user-generated content may be moderated or removed to maintain a respectful environment.
Continuous Improvement
Ethical standards evolve with the digital landscape. NewsHari regularly reviews its editorial practices to ensure compliance with ethical guidelines and to improve transparency and trust with readers.
This Ethics Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in editorial practices or industry standards.
