Ethics Policy
At HNA News, our journalism is guided by the principles of integrity, responsibility, and transparency. This Ethics Policy defines the moral foundation of our editorial process and outlines the standards we expect all contributors, editors, and staff to uphold.
1. Accuracy and Truthfulness
We strive to provide accurate, complete, and timely information. All content is carefully reviewed and fact-checked before publication. In cases where we make an error, we promptly issue corrections with full transparency.
2. Independence and Impartiality
Our reporting is free from external influence, including political, commercial, or personal interests. Editorial decisions are made independently by our newsroom, without interference from advertisers or sponsors.
3. Fairness and Balance
We aim to report stories fairly and objectively. When appropriate, we present multiple sides of an issue and give all parties an opportunity to comment before publication.
4. Accountability
We are accountable to our readers. Any feedback or complaints regarding the accuracy, tone, or fairness of our content is taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.

5. Conflicts of Interest
All team members must disclose any real or perceived conflicts of interest related to stories they cover. We avoid assignments that could compromise the integrity or objectivity of our journalism.
6. Respect for Privacy
We respect individuals' right to privacy. We do not publish private information unless it is clearly in the public interest. We take special care when reporting on minors, victims, or sensitive issues.
7. Plagiarism and Originality
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on plagiarism. All published content must be original or properly attributed to the source. Violations result in immediate action.
8. Transparency in Sponsorship and Affiliates
Sponsored or affiliate content is clearly marked and does not influence editorial coverage. For more information, see our Sponsorship Policy and Affiliate Disclosure.
9. Diversity and Inclusion
We aim to represent a wide range of voices, perspectives, and communities in our reporting. We reject hate speech, discrimination, or content that marginalizes individuals or groups.
10. Continuous Improvement
Ethics is not a one-time declaration but an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our editorial practices to uphold the highest standards of journalism.
