Kannada Dunia (kannadadunia.com) publishes news and information in Kannada for readers in Karnataka and across the world. This policy explains the standards our newsroom follows. It applies to everything we publish on the website, the Kannada Dunia app and our social media channels.
Editorial responsibility
The editorial team is led by our Chief Editor, who is responsible for what we publish. Every article is written by a named staff writer and checked by an editor before or immediately after publication. Our writers are listed on the Authors page.
Accuracy and sourcing
- We report facts we can verify from official sources, documents, on-record statements, eyewitnesses or established news organisations.
- We attribute information to its source and link to original documents or announcements where possible.
- When a story is developing, we say so and update it as new facts are confirmed.
- We clearly separate news from opinion, analysis and sponsored content.
Headlines
Headlines must accurately reflect the article. We do not use misleading, exaggerated or “clickbait” headlines that withhold the key information or promise something the story does not deliver.
Sensitive content
- We do not publish sexually explicit material.
- We report crime, violence and court cases factually and without sensational detail.
- We never identify survivors of sexual offences or children involved in crime, in line with Indian law (including Section 72 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the POCSO Act).
- Health information is general in nature and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified doctor.
Independence and fairness
Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers and commercial partners. We seek responses from people and organisations who are the subject of serious allegations, and we report their response or note that they did not reply.
Use of technology
Our journalists may use digital and AI-based tools for tasks such as translation, transcription or drafting. A member of the editorial team reviews, fact-checks and takes responsibility for every article before it is published.
Corrections
If we make a mistake we correct it promptly and transparently. See our Corrections Policy and Fact-checking Policy.
