At GlinkNews, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity and ethical conduct. This Ethics Policy outlines the principles that guide our reporting and operations.
1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive for accuracy in all our reporting. All facts are thoroughly checked before publication. If an error is discovered, we promptly issue corrections and clarifications.

Our reporting is independent and free from external influence. We do not allow advertisers, sponsors, or any external parties to influence our editorial content. Our journalists are expected to maintain objectivity and avoid conflicts of interest.
3. Transparency
We are transparent about our sources and methods. When we use anonymous sources, we explain why anonymity was granted. We clearly distinguish between news, opinion, and sponsored content.
4. Privacy and Consent
We respect individuals' privacy rights. We obtain consent when required and exercise caution when dealing with sensitive information, especially concerning minors or vulnerable individuals.
5. Diversity and Inclusion
We are committed to representing diverse viewpoints and experiences in our reporting. We strive for inclusivity in our hiring practices and coverage.
6. Accountability
We take responsibility for our work. We have an open channel for reader feedback and complaints, and we address concerns promptly and fairly.
7. Plagiarism and Attribution
We do not tolerate plagiarism in any form. All sources are properly attributed, and we give credit where it is due.
8. Digital Ethics
We apply ethical principles to our digital practices, including social media use, data collection, and online community engagement.
9. Ethical Advertising
We maintain a clear separation between editorial content and advertising. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such.
