Editorial Policy
AhotorOnline is committed to responsible, accurate and ethical digital journalism.
Accuracy
We aim to verify information before publication and use credible sources whenever possible.
Where information is developing or has not been independently confirmed, we seek to make this clear to our audience.
Sources
Our reports may draw information from:
- Interviews
- Official statements
- Government institutions
- Public records
- News agencies
- Press conferences
- Credible publications
- Direct observations and reporting
When appropriate, sources are identified within articles.
Original Reporting
AhotorOnline seeks to add value through original reporting, interviews, commentary, analysis and locally relevant context.
Where information originates from another publication or news agency, appropriate attribution should be provided.
Corrections
We take accuracy seriously.
When a significant factual error is identified, we may correct the article and, where appropriate, clarify what was changed.
Readers can submit correction requests through our Contact Us page.
Opinion
Opinion and commentary articles are intended to express the views of their authors. Such views do not necessarily represent the official position of AhotorOnline.
Sponsored Content
Sponsored or promotional content should be appropriately identified so that readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.
User-Generated Content
AhotorOnline may receive content from users or members of the public. Submitted content may be reviewed before publication and may be rejected or removed where necessary.
Ethical Standards
We seek to avoid deliberately misleading headlines, fabricated information, unlawful material and content that unnecessarily infringes on the rights of others.
