Editorial Policy | HNP Times

Last Updated: November 2025

At HNP Times, our mission is to deliver accurate, factual, and responsible journalism that keeps our readers informed and engaged. We follow a clear editorial policy designed to maintain the highest standards of integrity, accuracy, and transparency across all our content.

Our readers trust us for unbiased reporting on AI, Technology, Politics, Sports, and Business, and we take that trust seriously.

📰 1. Our Editorial Independence

HNP Times operates as an independent digital news platform.
Our editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, political entities, or external organizations.

All news articles, analysis pieces, and opinion posts are selected, written, and edited based solely on their newsworthiness and relevance to readers, not on commercial considerations.

We uphold editorial freedom and are committed to publishing content that serves the public interest.

🧾 2. Accuracy and Fact-Checking

Accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. Every story published on HNP Times undergoes a thorough verification process before it goes live.

Our editorial team ensures that:

All facts, statistics, and data points are verified from credible and multiple sources.
Misleading headlines, clickbait, or unverified rumors are strictly avoided.
Corrections or updates are made transparently and promptly when errors are identified.

We believe that readers deserve the truth — and it’s our duty to provide it with precision.

🧠 3. Editorial Team and Roles

Our content is created and reviewed by a team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers who specialize in technology, politics, sports, and business domains.

Each article published on HNP Times passes through multiple editorial checks:

Writer Stage: Draft written using verified data and credible references.
Editor Review: Content refined for accuracy, grammar, and neutrality.
Final Approval: Checked for compliance with Google’s content policies and HNP Times’ editorial standards.

No story is auto-published without human editorial review.

🔍 4. Use of AI Tools

We occasionally use AI-based writing tools for grammar correction, formatting assistance, or keyword optimization.
However, HNP Times does not publish AI-generated news or unverified automated content.

All editorial decisions, fact verification, and final reviews are carried out by human editors to ensure accuracy and originality.

⚖️ 5. Objectivity and Neutrality

HNP Times is committed to balanced journalism. We do not promote political agendas or take sides in political, social, or business debates.

Our stories aim to inform readers with factual context, allowing them to form their own opinions. When opinion or analysis is published, it is clearly labeled as such to avoid confusion with factual reporting.

💬 6. Handling Corrections and Updates

Transparency matters. If we identify or are informed of an error, we take the following steps:

The story is promptly reviewed by an editor.
Verified corrections are updated within the article.
A correction note or update timestamp is added, when relevant.

Readers can report errors or concerns by contacting us directly at
📧 hnptimes@gmail.com

📢 7. Advertising and Sponsored Content

To sustain our journalism, HNP Times displays ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party networks.

However, our editorial team maintains a strict separation between editorial and advertising content.

Ads or sponsored posts are clearly labeled as such.
Sponsored content does not influence our editorial decisions.
Our editors do not write paid articles that appear as independent news.

This ensures our readers can distinguish between editorial content and advertising material easily.

🌍 8. Content Sources and Citations

We rely on a combination of:

Official press releases
Government reports
Company statements
Credible media outlets
Verified public data

We always credit sources where necessary, and we never copy or republish full content from other websites without permission.

Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited at HNP Times.

✉️ 9. Feedback and Reader Participation

We encourage readers to share feedback, corrections, and perspectives.
If you spot any errors or wish to provide suggestions, you can contact our editorial desk at:
📧 hnptimes@gmail.com

Constructive criticism helps us grow and maintain transparency with our readers.

🕒 10. Policy Updates

This Editorial Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our editorial practices or newsroom structure.
The updated version will always be available on this page with the revised date at the top.

At HNP Times, we believe that credible journalism builds trust — and trust is earned through honesty, accuracy, and accountability.
