TellyNext Publishing Principles

At tellynext.com.in, we aim to create journalism that is honest and transparent and covers important entertainment news and stories while respecting the Indian entertainment industry as well as the many viewers who live here. Our newsroom follows specific standards and policies by Press Council of India, when investigating, writing and producing our news coverage and other content to ensure accuracy, fairness and quality.

Accuracy and fairness

Accuracy and fairness are fundamental principles of journalism. As we collect information and images from various sources, we do our best to verify and confirm both.

Accuracy requires that we ensure that all information is accurate and presented in the correct context. Accuracy also extends to the images we use and the need to verify them If we don’t have the full context of a photo or video, we aim to make it clear to our readers.

We aim to ensure fairness in our coverage by keeping an open mind about a story from start to finish. We make a good faith effort to seek and present all relevant information and viewpoints. We always try to contact the subjects of our reports for comment, provide them with sufficient details of our reports and give them a reasonable time to respond.

In the absence of an immediate response, we include past statements, where relevant In cases where we decide to report on allegations first reported by another trusted news source, fairness dictates that we try to get our own comments from those criticized or accused of wrongdoing. Unless we receive our own comments, we generally report any relevant feedback (with attribution) provided to other news organizations.

Sourcing

At Tellynext.com.in, our goal is to verify information and present information as transparently as possible. Typically, the information included in our original report will come from two independent sources who have direct knowledge of a situation or an official or authoritative source speaking on the record. If we include information from a single source or an anonymous source, we do so only after careful consideration of a number of factors. These factors include whether the information is coming from someone with direct knowledge of the situation, whether the source has been reliable in the past, whether the source has the means to verify the information, and whether the source has a distinct motivation or bias.

Correction policy

If we learn that our reporting is incorrect or misleading, we take immediate action and clearly disclose the error to our audience. Owning and correcting our mistakes is essential to maintaining your trust

We aim to correct and correct any errors in a digital or broadcast story, even errors that may seem trivial to those not involved in the story. Our corrections will usually describe the nature of the error first, followed by both the correct details and the original, incorrect details. We can use clarification instead when there is no error, but the story lacks important context or fails to fully explain the situation.

Digital Content Removal Policy

We will consider removing content from our digital platforms on a case-by-case basis. If the subject of a story provides evidence that charges have been dropped, they’re not guilty or they’ve been convicted, we’ll consider removing the story. We will not remove names or articles related to violent crimes, sex crimes, crimes against children or public corruption cases.
