Social Feed India is a digital news platform which takes an independent and neutral approach to current issues as well as news.
We offer critical coverage that challenges all points of view, puts issues and events in context, and always asks:
- Who is it about?
- What happened?
- When did it take place?
- Where did it take place?
- Why did it happen?
Accuracy and Clarity
- Ensure that factual material in news reports and elsewhere is accurate and not misleading.
- Provide a correction or other adequate remedial action if published material is significantly inaccurate or misleading.
Fairness and Balance
- Ensure that factual material is presented with reasonable fairness and balance, and that writers’ expressions of opinion are not based on significantly inaccurate factual material or facts.
- Ensure that where material refers adversely to a person, a fair opportunity is given for subsequent publication of a reply if that is reasonably necessary to address a possible breach of general principles.
Privacy and Avoidance of Harm
- Avoid intruding on a person’s reasonable expectations of privacy, unless doing so is sufficiently in the public interest.
- Avoid causing or contributing materially to substantial offence, distress or prejudice, or a substantial risk to health or safety, unless doing so is sufficiently in the public interest.
- Take cultural considerations into account when reporting on local issues.
Integrity and Transparency
- Avoid publishing material which has been gathered by deceptive or unfair means, unless doing so is sufficiently in the public interest.
- Ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided or adequately disclosed, and that they do not influence published material.
