Editorial Policy
Last updated: June 2025
1. Our Mission
Lekhak Duniya is committed to producing original, accurate, and valuable content that informs, inspires, and empowers our readers. Our editorial team upholds the highest standards of journalistic integrity in every article we publish.
2. Content Standards
Every piece of content published on Lekhak Duniya must meet the following standards:
- Originality — All content is written by our editorial team or vetted contributors. We do not republish content without permission, and we do not tolerate plagiarism.
- Accuracy — Facts, statistics, and claims are verified before publication. We rely on credible, authoritative sources.
- Fairness — We present balanced perspectives on complex issues and do not misrepresent opposing viewpoints.
- Clarity — Content is written in clear, accessible English for a general audience.
3. Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of our advertising and commercial relationships. Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners have no influence over our editorial content. Content is never published in exchange for payment without clear disclosure.
4. Sources and Citations
We cite credible sources including peer-reviewed research, government publications, established news organisations, and recognised subject-matter experts. We link to primary sources wherever possible so readers can verify information themselves.
5. Guest Contributions
We occasionally publish content from guest contributors. All guest submissions are reviewed by our editorial team for accuracy, quality, and compliance with our content standards before publication. Guest contributors must disclose any conflicts of interest.
6. Corrections
We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. If you find an inaccuracy in our content, please see our Corrections Policy.
7. Sponsored Content and Advertising
Any sponsored, promoted, or paid content is clearly labelled as such and separated visually from our editorial content. We do not allow sponsored content to make unsubstantiated claims. See our Advertising Disclosure for full details.
8. Sensitive Topics
Content covering sensitive topics (mental health, politics, religion, legal matters) is handled with particular care. We include appropriate context, avoid stigmatising language, and note where professional advice should be sought.
