eUttarakhand News (euttarakhandnews.com) is committed to journalism that is fair, accurate, and independent. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles that guide what we publish and how our editorial decisions are made.
1. Our Editorial Mission
We aim to inform readers across Uttarakhand and beyond through news, blogs, opinion pieces, reviews, and press releases that are relevant, timely, and rooted in local context. Our goal is to serve our readers with content that helps them stay informed about their community, region, and beyond.
2. Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions on euttarakhandnews.com are made independently by our editorial team and are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, affiliate partners, or any other commercial relationship. Advertising and sponsored content are always clearly distinguished from independent editorial content, as outlined in Section 5 below.
3. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive to verify facts, figures, names, and events before publication, drawing on credible sources such as official statements, public records, named sources, and established news agencies. Where information cannot be independently verified at the time of publishing, we aim to make that clear to readers. If an error is identified after publication, we address it in line with our Corrections Policy.
4. Fairness and Balance
Where a story involves a dispute, controversy, or differing viewpoints, we aim to represent the relevant perspectives fairly and give affected parties a reasonable opportunity to respond, where practical and appropriate to the story.
5. Sponsored Content, Press Releases, and Advertising
- Press releases published on the Site are clearly the statements of the submitting organization or individual and are labeled as such. We do not present press release content as independently reported news.
- Sponsored or branded content, where applicable, will be clearly labeled to distinguish it from independently reported articles.
- Advertising (where present or introduced in the future) is kept visually and contextually separate from editorial content and does not influence our reporting or opinions.
- Affiliate links used in reviews or articles do not influence our editorial recommendations; our reviews reflect our genuine assessment.
6. Opinion and Analysis Content
Opinion pieces, blogs, and analysis published on the Site are clearly identified as such and represent the views of the individual author, not necessarily the views of eUttarakhand News as an organization. We encourage a range of perspectives in our opinion section, provided the content is lawful, non-defamatory, and does not incite hatred or violence.
7. Sourcing and Attribution
We credit the original source of information, images, or quotes wherever due, whether from news agencies, official statements, other publications, or contributors. We do not knowingly publish plagiarized content.
8. Corrections and Accountability
We are accountable to our readers. If a factual error is identified in our reporting, we correct it transparently in line with our Corrections Policy. Readers can report an error or concern at any time by writing to us.
9. Legal and Ethical Standards
Our reporting is guided by applicable Indian laws, including defamation, privacy, and press-related regulations. Our team includes legal advisors — Mrs. Rishika Gusain and Mr. Rajan Rana (who also brings RTI expertise) — who support the Site’s commitment to lawful, transparent, and accountable reporting, including the responsible use of the Right to Information framework where relevant to our stories.
10. Reader Comments and User-Submitted Content
Comments submitted by readers are moderated in line with our Terms & Conditions and reflect the views of individual commenters, not eUttarakhand News. We reserve the right to remove comments that are unlawful, abusive, or otherwise violate our terms.
11. Corrections to This Policy
We may revise this Editorial Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or standards. The updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date.
