Diplomat Digital follows an editorial policy grounded in accuracy, independence, and accountability. Our objective is to inform readers through responsible journalism, contextual analysis, and clearly differentiated opinion.
Editorial Independence
Diplomat Digital operates with full editorial independence. Editorial decisions are made without influence from governments, political parties, corporations, advertisers, or other external interests. Ownership and management do not interfere with day-to-day editorial judgment.
Accuracy and Verification
We strive to ensure that all published content is accurate and based on reliable information. Reports and analyses are prepared using verifiable sources, official records, on-the-ground reporting where available, and credible secondary material. When information is evolving or incomplete, this is clearly stated.
News, Analysis, and Opinion
Diplomat Digital maintains a clear distinction between:
- News reporting, which focuses on factual accuracy and verification
- Analysis, which provides context and interpretation
- Opinion and commentary, which reflect the views of individual authors
Opinion pieces do not represent the views of Diplomat Digital as an institution.
Sources and Attribution
We aim to attribute information to original sources wherever possible. Anonymous sources may be used only when necessary and when the information provided is of clear public interest. In such cases, anonymity is granted to protect the source, not to obscure accountability.
Corrections and Updates
Diplomat Digital is committed to correcting factual errors promptly and transparently. When a significant error is identified, the content will be updated and a correction noted in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
Ethical Standards
We do not publish plagiarized content, misinformation, or deliberately misleading material. Content that violates journalistic ethics, legal standards, or promotes harm or hatred is not permitted.
Contributor Submissions
Contributions are reviewed for originality, accuracy, relevance, and adherence to editorial standards. Diplomat Digital reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity and style while preserving the author’s intent.
