Editorial Policy
Aarthik Patrika bases its editorial work on evidence, sourcing, context and accountability to readers.
1. Facts and sources
Primary and official sources are preferred, especially for government policy, rates, statistics, taxation, banking and regulatory matters.
2. News vs analysis
News focuses on verified facts. Analysis, explanation and opinion are identified by their nature. Headlines should not make claims that the article does not support.
3. Conflicts of interest
Editorial decisions are kept separate from advertisers and sponsors. Sponsored material must be clearly labeled.
4. Updates and transparency
Important stories show publication and update dates, authorship and key sources. Articles may be updated when new verified information becomes available.
