Chai Panchayat aims to provide useful, accurate and understandable Hindi news and information for readers in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and beyond.
Editorial Principles
- Accuracy: We aim to verify factual information using reliable and appropriate sources before publication.
- Clarity: We write in a clear format and try to provide enough context for readers to understand a story.
- Public interest: We prioritize information that is relevant to our readers and communities.
- Independence: Editorial decisions should not be improperly influenced by advertisers, sponsors or other commercial interests.
- Transparency: We aim to distinguish factual reporting from opinion, analysis and promotional material.
- Respect: We avoid unnecessary personal attacks, discriminatory language and sensational treatment of sensitive subjects.
Sources
Depending on the story, our reporting may draw on official government or institutional information, public records, statements, interviews, documents, direct observation and credible secondary reporting. We may link to or identify important sources where doing so helps readers verify or understand the information.
Developing Stories
Early information can change as events develop. When significant new facts become available, we may update an article. We try to avoid presenting unconfirmed claims as established facts.
Corrections
We take credible correction requests seriously. Factual errors that materially affect an article may be corrected or updated. See our Corrections Policy.
Advertising and Sponsored Material
Advertising and other commercial material should be distinguishable from editorial content. Commercial relationships do not give advertisers the right to determine independent editorial conclusions.
