Editorial Policy

Statemirror.com, operated by Physital Media Private Limited ("PMPL"), is committed to delivering accurate, unbiased, and reliable news and information. Our editorial policy outlines the principles and standards we adhere to when creating and publishing content, ensuring journalistic integrity and public trust.

1. Accuracy and Verification
We strive to provide accurate and fact-checked information. Our editorial team rigorously verifies facts before publication by consulting multiple sources, reviewing official documents, and, where necessary, interviewing experts. If errors are discovered after publication, we issue corrections promptly.

2. Independence and Impartiality
PMPL operates independently of external influences. Our news coverage is free from any political, financial, or corporate bias. We aim to present diverse perspectives, ensuring balanced reporting on contentious issues while avoiding any editorial favoritism.

3. Transparency and Accountability
We believe in transparency regarding our sources and methods. Whenever possible, we cite the origin of the information or data used in our reports. If sources request anonymity, we respect their privacy but assess the credibility and necessity of anonymity before proceeding.

4. Editorial Control
Our editorial team maintains full control over the selection and presentation of stories. Decisions about content, headlines, and story placement are made independently by our editors, without undue influence from advertisers or external parties.

5. Editorial Integrity in Sponsored Content
We maintain a clear distinction between editorial content and advertising or sponsored material. Sponsored articles or paid promotions are explicitly labeled as such to ensure that readers can differentiate between independent journalism and promotional content.

6. Fairness and Representation
We ensure fair representation of individuals and groups in our reporting. Our team works to avoid stereotypes and provide an inclusive platform that reflects the diverse audience we serve. We offer individuals and organizations the opportunity to comment on stories that involve them.

7. Correction and Clarification Policy
If a factual error is identified in any published content, we correct it in a transparent manner. Corrections are clearly noted in the original article with an explanation of the changes made. Readers are encouraged to contact us regarding any potential inaccuracies.

8. User-Generated Content
While we encourage users to engage with our content through comments and feedback, PMPL reserves the right to moderate or remove any user-generated content that violates our community guidelines. Hate speech, harassment, misinformation, or inappropriate content will not be tolerated.

9. Editorial Independence from Advertisers
We recognize the importance of maintaining editorial independence from our advertisers. Our editorial team makes content decisions independently of our advertising team to ensure that the news and information we provide remain unbiased.
