At Balochistan Dispatch, our journalism is guided by the principles of integrity, independence, accuracy, fairness, and accountability. We are committed to serving the public interest while upholding the highest ethical standards.
We strive to report the truth by verifying information through reliable sources before publication and clearly distinguishing facts from opinion, analysis, and advertising. We avoid sensationalism, misinformation, plagiarism, and the deliberate spread of false or misleading content.
Our editorial decisions are made independently and are free from political, commercial, personal, or external influence. Journalists and contributors must avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any circumstances that could compromise their impartiality.
We respect the dignity, privacy, and rights of individuals. We exercise particular care when reporting on children, victims of crime or conflict, vulnerable communities, and sensitive issues, ensuring that our reporting minimizes unnecessary harm while serving the public interest.
We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and non-discrimination. Our reporting does not promote hatred, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
When mistakes occur, we correct them promptly and transparently in accordance with our Corrections Policy. We welcome constructive feedback from readers and remain accountable for our journalism.
Every member of Balochistan Dispatch, including editors, reporters, photographers, and contributors, is expected to uphold this Code of Ethics in every aspect of their work, reinforcing our commitment to credible, responsible, and independent journalism.
