## 2. EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta seeks to maintain editorial independence from political, commercial, personal and other external interests.
Publication of information, statements, claims, advertisements or opinions does not, by itself, constitute endorsement by Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta.
Editorial decisions should be based on journalistic principles, evidence, public interest and professional standards.
—
## 3. ACCURACY AND REASONABLE CARE
Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta makes reasonable efforts to verify information before publication.
However, journalism involves developing events, incomplete information, changing circumstances and information obtained from different sources. Therefore, no publication can guarantee that every item will always be complete, current or free from inadvertent error.
Where a material error is identified, the organization may correct, clarify or update the relevant content in accordance with its *Correction Policy*.
—
## 4. BREAKING NEWS AND DEVELOPING STORIES
Breaking news may be published while an event is still developing.
Initial reports may therefore contain limited or incomplete information and may subsequently be updated as facts are confirmed.
Readers should refer to the latest version or update published through our official channels.
—
## 5. SOURCES AND ATTRIBUTION
Our journalism may rely on information from:
* Government departments;
* Public institutions;
* Law-enforcement agencies;
* Courts and official records;
* Experts and professionals;
* Witnesses;
* Documents;
* News agencies;
* Public statements;
* Other credible sources.
Attribution to a source means that the information or claim has been attributed to that source. It does not necessarily mean that Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta independently endorses every statement made by that source.
—
## 6. ALLEGATIONS AND UNPROVEN CLAIMS
Reports concerning allegations, accusations, disputes or claims should not automatically be interpreted as findings of fact.
Where appropriate, Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta will distinguish between:
* Verified facts;
* Allegations;
* Claims;
* Opinions;
* Official statements;
* Legal findings.
Publication of an allegation does not by itself establish that the allegation is true.
—
## 7. OPINION, COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS
Editorials, columns, opinion articles and analysis may contain interpretation, commentary or the author’s viewpoint.
Such material should be distinguished from straight news reporting.
The views expressed by individual contributors do not necessarily represent the institutional position of Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta unless expressly identified as such.
—
## 8. POLITICAL AND PUBLIC-AFFAIRS CONTENT
Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta may report on political parties, candidates, governments, public officials, elections, legislation and public policy as part of its journalistic function.
Publication of a political statement, campaign claim, policy position or political advertisement does not constitute endorsement by the organization.
Political claims should be presented with appropriate attribution and, where relevant, verification and context.
—
## 9. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
Our platforms may contain or refer to material originating from third parties, including:
* News agencies;
* Government institutions;
* Public organizations;
* Experts;
* Researchers;
* Social media users;
* Other media organizations;
* External publications.
The publication or reference to third-party material does not necessarily mean that Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta adopts or endorses every statement, opinion or claim contained in that material.
—
## 10. USER-GENERATED CONTENT
Comments, reader submissions, public posts, messages, photographs, videos and other user-generated content may be published or displayed where appropriate.
User-generated content represents the views or submissions of its respective contributors and does not necessarily represent the views of Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta.
The organization may moderate, edit, restrict or remove content that violates applicable editorial standards, platform rules or applicable law.
—
## 11. SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT
Official social media accounts are used to distribute news, updates, announcements and other authorized content.
Because social media platforms are operated by independent third parties:
* Content may be subject to platform policies;
* Posts may be edited, updated or removed;
* Platform availability may change;
* Comments and user interactions may be outside the organization’s direct control.
Users should verify that an account is an official account of Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta before relying on it as an official communication channel.
—
## 12. PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS AND VISUAL MATERIAL
Photographs, videos, illustrations, graphics and other visual material may be used for editorial, documentary, illustrative or informational purposes.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, an image accompanying a report should not automatically be interpreted as representing the exact circumstances described in the report.
Captions and visual descriptions may be corrected when an error is identified.
—
## 13. ARCHIVAL CONTENT
Older articles and archived material may contain information that has subsequently changed because of developments in law, politics, public policy, scientific knowledge, investigations or other circumstances.
Historical content should therefore be understood in the context of its original publication date.
Where significant historical errors are identified, the organization may update or correct the relevant material.
—
## 14. CORRECTIONS AND UPDATES
Daily Jahan-e-Imroz Quetta recognizes that transparent correction of errors is an essential part of responsible journalism.
When a material error is identified, the organization may:
* Correct the information;

## 15. ADVERTISING AND SPONSORED CONTENT

The publication of an advertisement does not necessarily constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the advertised product, service, company or organization.
Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their advertising claims.
—
