✍️ Editorial Policy and Standards

AIN News TV – Marathi is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity, accuracy, and fairness. Our Editorial Policy outlines the rigorous process and principles we adhere to in creating, verifying, and publishing news content for our readers.

1. Commitment to Accuracy and Impartiality

Our primary commitment is to deliver factual and balanced information across all our categories, including Rajkaran, Krida, Technology, Sheti Shivar, and Lifestyle.

  • Accuracy: We strive to ensure that all information published is accurate, based on credible evidence, and verified before publication.
  • Impartiality: We are committed to non-partisan reporting. Our journalists present all sides of a story fairly, separating facts from opinion, and ensuring that political and social coverage is unbiased.
  • Correction Policy: We take accountability seriously. If a factual error is identified in our published content, we commit to correcting it quickly and transparently, clearly stating the nature of the correction.

2. Our Verification and Fact-Checking Process

Every piece of news, especially breaking news (Tajya Batmya), goes through a defined verification and fact-checking procedure:

  • Source Confirmation: We require information to be corroborated by at least two independent, trustworthy sources whenever possible.
  • Primary Documentation: Where available, we consult primary sources such as official press releases, government records, court documents, and direct statements.
  • Expert Consultation: For complex topics (like Health Tips, Money, or Technology), we consult subject matter experts to ensure technical accuracy.
  • Review Process: All articles are reviewed by experienced editors for clarity, balance, and factual correctness before they are published.

3. Trusted Sources of Information

To maintain the credibility of AIN News TV – Marathi, we rely on highly reliable and official sources:

  • Official Authorities: Government announcements, police statements, judiciary rulings, and recognized official spokespersons.
  • Reputable Wire Services: Established national and international news agencies.
  • Direct Reporting: Verified information gathered directly by our field reporters and correspondents.
  • Acknowledged Experts: Reputable academics, researchers, and professional organizations relevant to the topic (e.g., for Food, Career, Adhyatma).

4. Stance Against Misinformation and Fake News

AIN News TV – Marathi has a zero-tolerance policy towards misinformation, fabrication, and deliberate “fake news.”

  • Proactive Vetting: We actively vet viral content and suspicious claims, especially those circulating on social media, before considering them for publication.
  • Transparency: If we report on a piece of content that is being debated as potentially false, we clearly label it as a “claim” or “rumour” and immediately provide our verification findings.
  • Withdrawal: Content found to be deliberately false or fabricated will be promptly withdrawn, and a transparent clarification will be issued.

Our editorial operations are overseen by a dedicated team of professionals:

  • Leadership: The Editorial Head and Managing Editor establish and enforce these editorial standards across all verticals (Maharashtra, Desh, Manoranjan, etc.).
  • Experience: Our editorial team comprises journalists with collective experience in Marathi and national media, ensuring high-quality, professional judgment.
  • Training: Our staff receives continuous training on best practices in digital journalism, ethical reporting, and fact-checking tools.
  • Independence: The editorial team maintains complete independence from advertising and commercial influences. Advertisements and sponsored content are clearly marked and do not influence news judgment.

6. Community and Feedback

We value feedback from our readers. We encourage the community to reach out to us if they identify an error or have concerns regarding the factual accuracy of any article.
