Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy | Samvadika

At Samvadika, we aim to deliver stories that matter — with integrity, clarity, and a deep respect for our readers. We are a small yet passionate editorial team driven by curiosity, context, and commitment. This editorial policy outlines how we work, what we believe in, and what you can expect from us.

1. Accuracy is a Goal, Not a Guarantee

We strive to be accurate and well-informed — but we do not claim 100% accuracy on every detail. News is dynamic and facts can evolve over time. While we verify our content using credible sources, some aspects may later require updates, clarifications, or even corrections.

Our articles display:

  • The original publish date, and
  • The last updated date (if revised later)

We may edit or correct content when necessary, without always marking the specific change within the article. The goal is to keep the story accurate and up-to-date for current readers.

2. Editorial Approach & Tone

Samvadika does not differentiate content into categories like “news”, “opinions”, or “editorials.” We follow a storytelling-first model, where the tone may include analysis, commentary, and reporting — all in one format. Readers are encouraged to understand the story in full context.

We do not take sides politically or ideologically. However, our voice may carry emotion, satire, or public sentiment — depending on the topic and narrative intent.

3. Content Review, Updates & Deletion

Our editorial team may choose to:

  • Update an article to reflect new developments
  • Modify sections for clarity, structure, or performance reasons
  • Or in rare cases, remove an article entirely, without public notice

Deletion may occur due to multiple reasons such as:

  • Irrelevance or outdated nature
  • Non-performance or technical issues
  • Editorial realignment

We reserve the right to manage our content library as per evolving priorities.

4. Attribution & Sources

We use named media sources, publicly available information, and independent research. If we refer to external coverage (e.g., “media reports suggest”), it means the information is cross-verified to a reasonable extent.

We generally avoid unverifiable claims, but where included (for narrative or public interest), we present them transparently.
We do not rely on or reproduce AI-generated content without human review.

5. Visuals & Assets

Images and graphics used on Samvadika are:

  • Either licensed, created in-house, or
  • Used under fair use / public domain / media kit permissions

Sometimes, we may use AI-generated or edited images — and we aim to maintain visual honesty unless the image is symbolic, stylized, or representational.

6. No Misleading Sensationalism

While some of our stories may sound bold or unconventional, we do not publish misleading, fabricated, or harmful content just for traffic. Our storytelling may be sharp, socially reactive, or culturally engaging — but never at the cost of truth or dignity.

7. Community, Feedback & Ethics

We welcome feedback from readers, creators, and even critics. Our content is built for open conversations — not just one-way consumption. Readers may contact us for:

  • Clarifications
  • Content concerns
  • Suggestions or takedown requests

Reach us via our Contact Page or official email.

8. Reader-Contributed Content & Editorial Oversight

As part of our commitment to participative journalism, Samvadika occasionally publishes content submitted by independent contributors and readers through dedicated submission platforms.

  • All such content is subject to basic editorial review before publication, primarily to ensure relevance, readability, and appropriateness.
  • However, Samvadika does not guarantee the factual accuracy, legal validity, or completeness of user-submitted content.
  • The editorial team reserves the right to modify, unpublish, or remove such content at any time, without notification, based on editorial discretion or platform performance.
  • Ownership rights of submitted content, once published, rest with Samvadika, and may be used across its digital platforms under a non-exclusive, royalty-free license.

9. Use of Third-Party or Viral Media Content

In reporting certain stories, especially those involving public interest or trending narratives, Samvadika may use publicly available or viral media assets (such as images or videos) sourced from social platforms or third-party domains.

  • We do not claim ownership of such media, and all rights remain with their original creators.
  • If a media owner identifies their content being used and wishes for its removal, they may contact us with appropriate proof of ownership and direct URLs.
  • Upon verification, we will take prompt action to remove or attribute the concerned content as necessary, respecting copyright and fair use norms.

10. Policy Review & Flexibility

This policy reflects how we operate at Samvadika as of its last update. Our editorial practices, legal obligations, and community goals may evolve over time. Accordingly, we may revise this document without prior notice. We encourage readers, partners, and stakeholders to revisit this page periodically for the most recent version.
