Our Editorial Promise
At SamayTimes, journalism is more than reporting — it’s a responsibility to truth, ethics, and the people of India.
We are guided by one core belief:
News must inform, not influence.
SamayTimes.com
Every article we publish goes through a careful process of verification, editing, and review to ensure accuracy, fairness, and balance.
Our Core Principles
Our newsroom is built on five key editorial values:
- Accuracy – Every fact is verified before publication through multiple reliable sources.
- Independence – We do not align with any political, corporate, or religious entity.
- Accountability – Errors are acknowledged and corrected transparently.
- Humanity – We respect every community, religion, and individual while reporting.
- Clarity – We explain complex issues in simple, clear language that every Indian can understand.
Fact Verification Process
Our editorial team cross-checks information using:
- Verified government data and official statements.
- Reports from credible national and international agencies.
- Multiple first-hand and secondary sources to confirm authenticity.
If information cannot be independently verified, we clearly mention it as “not confirmed yet.”
We never publish unverified claims, rumors, or speculative content.
Editorial Independence
SamayTimes operates as an independent digital newsroom.
Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external entities.
All content decisions are taken by our editorial team based on public interest, factual accuracy, and journalistic ethics.
We maintain a strict firewall between our editorial and advertising operations.
Advertisements or sponsored content, when present, are always clearly labeled as such.
Use of Technology and AI Tools
SamayTimes embraces technology responsibly to improve efficiency and quality.
We use AI-assisted tools strictly for:
- Grammar correction and readability improvement.
- Sentence restructuring for clarity.
- Proofreading and formatting consistency.
All editorial judgment — including story selection, verification, and tone — remains 100% human-driven.
AI tools are never used to generate or fabricate factual content.
Sensitive Reporting
We handle stories involving crime, conflict, tragedy, or social distress with empathy and discretion.
We do not sensationalize grief, name victims of sensitive crimes, or publish graphic imagery.
Our aim is to inform responsibly, not exploit emotionally.
Conflict of Interest
Writers, editors, and contributors of SamayTimes must disclose any personal or professional conflict of interest related to a story.
Such cases are reviewed by the editorial head, and the concerned person is recused from the assignment if required.
Corrections and Clarifications
We acknowledge that errors can occur.
When they do, we correct them promptly and transparently in line with our Corrections Policy.
We believe admitting mistakes strengthens credibility — not weakens it.
Reader Feedback
We welcome reader engagement and constructive feedback.
If you believe an article is inaccurate, biased, or incomplete, please contact us at:
📧 editor@samaytimes.com
Our editorial team reviews all feedback within 48 hours.
Our Mission
SamayTimes stands for journalism that speaks for every Indian — with honesty, courage, and clarity.
We aim to make news simpler, sharper, and more human, so every reader feels informed, not overwhelmed.
“News With Difference” isn’t just a tagline — it’s our editorial philosophy.
