Clarion India is an independent digital news and analysis portal committed to public-interest journalism, civil liberties, secular democracy, and the rights of marginalised communities across India and the globe.
1. Editorial Independence
Clarion India operates free from commercial, political, or partisan bias. Our reporting priorities, story selections, and editorial stances are determined solely by our editorial board based on news value, constitutional principles, and the public interest.
2. Accuracy & Fact Verification
We uphold rigorous standards of factual accuracy. Before publication, our journalists and editors strive to verify information through primary source documents, official records, verified ground reporting, and corroborating sources. Where claims cannot be independently verified, they are clearly attributed as claims.
3. Fair Sourcing & Right of Reply
When reporting allegations, controversies, or investigative findings concerning individuals, institutions, or public officials, our reporters make reasonable and documented efforts to seek their response or comment prior to publication. When a response is received, it is incorporated fairly and prominently.
4. Bylines & Transparency
Original reports by Clarion India journalists and contributing columnists carry clear, transparent bylines linking to their individual author profiles. Reports sourced from news agencies or official statements carry clear agency attribution.
5. Conflict of Interest Policy
Clarion India journalists, editors, and regular contributors are barred from accepting gifts, financial inducements, or favors from subjects of coverage. Any personal, financial, or political relationships that could reasonably be seen as a conflict of interest must be disclosed to the editorial leadership.
