At NewsPortal5.com, our mission is to deliver factual, unbiased, and meaningful news that informs, educates, and engages our readers. We believe in ethical journalism and transparency, and we are committed to presenting information with accuracy, fairness, and integrity.

This Editorial Policy outlines the principles, standards, and practices that guide our newsroom.

Editorial Independence

NewsPortal5.com operates independently.
Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, partners, or external pressure. We do not allow commercial relationships to compromise our news coverage or journalistic ethics.

All opinions and viewpoints published on the site are based solely on editorial judgment and verified information.

Accuracy & Fact-Checking

We work to ensure that all content is carefully researched and factually correct before publication. Our team:

  • Verifies information using credible and reliable sources

  • Cross-checks facts and data

  • Updates stories when new information becomes available

If an error is identified, we correct it promptly as part of our Corrections Policy.

Fairness & Neutrality

We strive to present stories honestly and without personal bias.
We aim to:

  • Provide balanced viewpoints when dealing with sensitive or controversial subjects

  • Avoid misleading language or sensationalism

  • Share information that reflects truth rather than personal opinions

When publishing opinion-based content, we label it clearly so readers can distinguish between news reporting and commentary.

Sources & Transparency

We use trustworthy sources and reference them whenever possible.
Our sourcing principles include:

  • Giving credit to original authors and publications

  • Avoiding plagiarism under all circumstances

  • Respecting confidentiality when sources request anonymity for valid reasons

We do not publish unverified rumors, fabricated stories, or manipulated content.

Use of AI-Generated Content

We may use AI tools to assist with writing or content generation. However:

  • All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and approved by human editors

  • We ensure quality, accuracy, and readability before publishing

  • AI is a tool, not a replacement for journalistic judgment

User-Generated Content

Comments or guest submissions from users represent their personal views and do not reflect the editorial stance of NewsPortal5.com.
We reserve the right to review and remove harmful, abusive, or illegal user submissions.

Advertising & Sponsorship

We may publish sponsored content, affiliate links, or advertisements, but we always:

  • Clearly mark sponsored material for transparency

  • Keep editorial content separate from commercial content

  • Recommend products and services honestly and responsibly

Advertisements never influence our reporting.

  • Accuracy
