Code of Ethics

Effective Date : 1 January 2025
Ab Ki News is a Hindi digital news platform operated by CCS Network, a Government of India registered company headquartered in Faridkot, Punjab. As a responsible media organization, we follow a strict Code of Ethics to maintain journalistic integrity, credibility, and public trust.

  1. Commitment to Truth and Accuracy
    We are committed to reporting facts accurately, objectively, and fairly. Every piece of news is cross-verified with credible sources before publication. We correct mistakes promptly and transparently if any inaccuracies are identified.
  2. Impartiality and Fairness
    We maintain neutrality in our reporting and do not promote or suppress any political, religious, or social views unfairly.
    All sides of a story are considered, especially when covering sensitive or controversial issues.
  3. Public Interest First
    We believe journalism should serve the public. Our reporting prioritizes the public’s right to know and aims to promote awareness, accountability, and informed decision-making among citizens.
  4. Respect for Privacy
    We respect individuals’ privacy and avoid sensationalizing personal tragedies or publishing content that may cause undue harm or embarrassment, unless justified in the public interest.
  5. No Paid News or Fake News
    We do not publish paid news disguised as editorial content.
    We strictly avoid publishing false, misleading, or manipulated content, and we actively combat misinformation.
  6. Separation of News and Advertising
    There is a clear distinction between editorial content and advertisements. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled.
  7. No Hate Speech or Incitement
    We do not allow content that promotes hate speech, violence, communal disharmony, or discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, or region.
  8. Protection of Sources
    We protect the confidentiality of our journalistic sources unless legally compelled to disclose or if the source is deliberately misleading.
  9. Responsible Use of Photos and Videos
    Visual content used in our reporting is authentic and relevant to the story. We do not alter or manipulate images or videos to mislead viewers.

    We comply with:
    Indian laws governing digital and print media
    Guidelines by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting
    Norms set by the Press Council of India and relevant journalistic associations
