Last Updated: 08 January, 2026

At Impact on India, we are committed to responsible journalism, fair analysis, and respectful storytelling. Our mission is to inform, educate, and encourage meaningful discussion while maintaining accuracy, integrity, and transparency.
We value our readers and strive to ensure a trustworthy and peaceful experience for everyone who engages with our platform.


1. Editorial Philosophy & Responsibility

Our content includes news reporting, analysis, opinions, and informational articles.
While perspectives may vary, we aim to present content that:

  • Respects diverse views and sensitivities
  • Encourages healthy discussion without hate or harm
  • Remains fact-based, balanced, and thoughtful
  • Avoids defamation, harassment, misinformation, and discrimination

All editorial decisions are taken independently and responsibly. Our team reviews, evaluates, and ensures the reliability and meaningful intent of every piece of published content.


2. Ethics & Professional Standards

We follow globally respected journalism principles inspired by leading news organizations. Our core standards include:

✔ Integrity & Honesty

We do not intentionally publish misleading, manipulated, or harmful content.

✔ Fairness & Neutrality

We respect multiple viewpoints and do not publish content meant to provoke hostility, political hatred, communal tension, or targeted harm.

✔ Respect & Sensitivity

We avoid:

  • Hate speech or abusive content
  • Unnecessary graphic or disturbing visuals
  • Personal attacks or harassment
  • Content that violates privacy or dignity

✔ Legal Compliance

We comply with applicable laws, copyright regulations, platform guidelines, and fair usage norms to the best of our understanding and ability.


3. Fact-Checking & Verification Policy

Accuracy is extremely important to us. Before publishing, our editorial team:

  • Reviews reliable sources, official statements, and credible references
  • Cross-checks essential facts wherever possible
  • Avoids unsupported claims, rumors, or manipulated information
  • Ensures clarity between news, analysis, and opinion

Wherever applicable, we also indicate:

  • Whether information is official, reported, or developing
  • Whether statements are opinions or interpretations

4. AI-Assisted Content Usage Policy

We may use AI tools to help:

  • Structure and format articles
  • Improve readability
  • Generate images or illustrations
  • Assist with grammar, clarity, and presentation

However:

  • Final editorial judgment, analysis, context, and opinions are created and reviewed by our human editorial team.
  • AI does not independently publish any content.
  • AI is used only as a supportive tool, not as a decision-maker.
  • We strive to ensure AI-generated visuals do not defame, misrepresent reality, or harm individuals or communities.

We believe in transparency and ethical use of technology while ensuring human responsibility remains at the core of our platform.

Despite all care, if errors occur, we handle them responsibly.
