Code of Ethics
Hindustan Dot embraces certain core values as a globally-minded media pioneer. Guiding our vision is an ethical compass centered on respect and truthfulness.
As journalists, we uphold ideals of honesty, courage, fairness, independence, and diversity – prioritizing truth over profits or politics. We seek facts unequivocally, depicting realities with accuracy and sensitivity.
Respect begins with acknowledging mistakes, correcting them promptly, and learning. It means presenting perspectives without bias and recognizing human experience’s breadth. We consider privacy concerns and the feelings of those impacted, from victims to audiences.
While scoops make splashes, performance standards matter more. We welcome competition that uplifts our craft’s ideals. And when colleagues face aggression, we offer solid support.
By distinguishing news from commentary, we avoid blurred lines. Transparency lays the groundwork for our relationship with sources. Cooperation with journalistic bodies advances freedoms.
By showcasing society’s mosaic, we empower public awareness. By pulling these ethical threads together, the fabric of our mission gains integrity. Trust emerges from values lived out, not just espoused.
