Ethics Policy

Ethics Policy : At Times of Western, we are committed to ethical, responsible, and independent journalism. Our editorial decisions are guided by fairness, accuracy, transparency, and accountability. We believe journalism should serve the public by providing factual information without political, commercial, or personal influence.

Accuracy and Truth

We strive to verify information before publication using reliable and credible sources. If information cannot be independently confirmed, we clearly identify it as developing or unconfirmed.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are made independently.

Advertisers, sponsors, political organisations, or outside parties do not influence our news coverage or editorial opinions.

Fairness and Balance

We aim to present information fairly by including relevant context and, whenever possible, multiple viewpoints on significant issues.

Transparency

If a correction, clarification, or update is necessary, we make it promptly and transparently.

Readers can review our Corrections Policy for more information.

Conflicts of Interest

Our editors and contributors avoid conflicts of interest that could affect editorial independence.

Any potential conflict will be disclosed when appropriate.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Times of Western may use AI tools to assist with:

• Research
• Translation
• Grammar improvement
• Formatting
• Content organisation

However, AI does not replace editorial review. Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication.

Respect and Responsibility

We respect individuals, communities, and cultures.

We avoid publishing misleading, discriminatory, or harmful content and work to ensure responsible reporting.

Reader Feedback

We welcome constructive feedback from our readers.

If you believe an article contains an error or raises an ethical concern, please contact our editorial team.
