Our Commitment

At Newsenfold.com, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical journalism. We voluntarily follow the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) Code of Ethics, which guides us in maintaining accuracy, fairness, transparency, and a deep respect for the law and public trust.

1. Compliance with Indian Laws

We strictly adhere to all applicable Indian laws, including:

3. Right of Reply

When an allegation is made against a person or organisation:

If any part of a published report is found to be factually incorrect:

  • We accept genuine correction requests supported by valid documents.

6. Sensitive Reporting

We report responsibly on sensitive issues such as:

Our approach includes:

  • Avoiding names or details that could reveal the identity of victims, especially minors.

This ensures consistent, law-abiding, and responsible content publication.

9. Respect for Privacy

We value the privacy of individuals:
