HamroBuzz Editorial Policy & Standards

Grounded in fair reporting, source verification, and reader trust

At HamroBuzz, our primary commitment is to our readers. We believe journalism should be honest, verified, and plain-spoken. Below are the core editorial principles our newsroom follows every day:

1. Two-Source Verification

Before reporting on critical claims or breaking incidents, our reporters verify facts with at least two independent sources or official documentation (police reports, government ministries, courts, or verified on-the-ground witnesses). Social media rumors are never reported as established facts.

2. Right of Reply & Balance

Whenever an article contains criticism, investigations, or allegations against an individual, business, or public body, we give that party a fair opportunity to respond before publication. If they decline or cannot be reached, we state this clearly in the story.

3. Anonymous Sources

We insist on on-the-record sourcing. Anonymous attribution is permitted only when sources face verifiable threats to their personal safety or livelihood, and only with the explicit approval of the senior newsroom editor.

4. Complete Separation of News & Commercial Content

Editorial decisions are entirely independent of commercial advertisers or investors. Paid native placements or sponsored articles are always labeled prominently as "Sponsored" so readers are never deceived.
