Editorial Guidelines

Our Editorial Mission

At Krihaa News, we are committed to delivering accurate, fair, and comprehensive news coverage that serves the public interest. Our editorial guidelines ensure that every piece of content meets the highest standards of journalistic integrity and professional excellence.

These guidelines govern all aspects of our editorial process, from story selection and research to writing, editing, and publication. They reflect our dedication to truth, transparency, and accountability in journalism.

Core Editorial Principles

1. Accuracy First

Every fact is verified through multiple reliable sources before publication. We prioritize accuracy over speed and correct errors promptly when they occur.

2. Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently, free from commercial, political, or personal influence. We maintain clear separation between editorial and business operations.

3. Fairness & Balance

We present multiple perspectives on controversial issues and give all parties a fair opportunity to respond to allegations or criticism.

4. Transparency

We clearly identify our sources when possible, distinguish between news and opinion, and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
