Diversity Policy

At DELSU Echo Newspaper, we are committed to delivering unbiased and impartial news while adhering to the highest editorial standards. Our goal is to serve the public interest by providing high-quality news that educates, informs, and entertains. As an independent news organisation, we operate without influence from any government or political organisations, maintaining journalistic integrity and creative freedom. Our editorial content remains transparent and impartial, free from external funding influence. We regularly review our editorial guidelines to ensure they reflect our standards and commitment to integrity.

Editorial Standards and Ethics

DELSU Echo Newspaper is dedicated to upholding the highest editorial standards. Our primary mission is to serve the public interest by reporting stories that matter, providing fair, accurate, and unbiased coverage. We publish original content that informs, educates, and entertains, while maintaining transparency about any potential conflicts of interest. We adhere to ethical, regulatory, and legal standards, ensuring that our readers are not misled by false statements or misinformation. Disclaimers are provided where necessary to ensure full transparency.

Hate Speech and Bullying

DELSU Echo Newspaper has a zero-tolerance policy toward hate speech, discrimination, and bullying. We do not publish content that incites hatred or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Content that harasses, intimidates, or bullies individuals is strictly prohibited, and we strive to maintain a safe, respectful environment for all readers.

Safety and Inappropriate Content

The safety and well-being of our readers are top priorities. DELSU Echo Newspaper does not publish content that promotes violence or harm to individuals. We prohibit the publication of graphic sexual content, non-consensual sexual themes, or content promoting sexual acts for compensation. Content related to child sexual abuse, malicious software, or illegal activities is strictly forbidden on our platform.

Copyright

DELSU Echo Newspaper respects the copyright and intellectual property rights of third parties. Our content does not infringe on any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or personal rights. We balance the public’s right to information with the privacy rights of individuals. Infringements on privacy are only justified when public interest significantly outweighs personal privacy concerns. We responsibly use social media and public platform content, respecting individuals’ privacy expectations.

Verification/Fact-Checking Policy

We take pride in accurate reporting at DELSU Echo Newspaper. Our fact-checking process includes:

1. Using first-hand sources for gathering information.
2. Verifying facts, statistics, and claims.
3. Authenticating material and corroborating claims.
4. Differentiating between facts and rumors, with proper attribution for all sources.

This ensures that the content we publish is both credible and transparent.

Unnamed Sources Policy

Whenever possible, DELSU Echo Newspaper identifies sources by name, providing proper attribution through links or other means. While we prefer not to use unnamed sources, we may do so when the information is important, credible, and could endanger the source’s livelihood. We protect the confidentiality of such sources and adhere to legal requirements regarding their rights. Exclusive news sourced from other outlets is always properly credited.

Corrections Policy

If any errors occur in our reporting, we promptly correct them. Corrections can be made through edits or editor’s notes explaining the correction. In cases of significant errors, we may remove the article entirely to ensure accuracy.

Actionable Feedback Policy

DELSU Echo Newspaper values feedback from readers. We encourage suggestions, criticism, and compliments. If you have feedback, please contact us at ejesgist@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 30 minutes to ensure a swift resolution to any concerns.
