Disclosure Policy
Daily Chhattisgarh
Here at Daily Chhattisgarh, we believe that trust is the foundation of good journalism. We are dedicated to delivering accurate, fair, and independent news and analysis to our readers. That’s why, when it comes to our reporting and business practices, we believe in full transparency.
With this in mind, we have developed a company-wide disclosure policy to guide our staff, our content, and our business relationships. We invite you to read through it, as we believe it is essential for you to know exactly where we’re coming from.
Journalistic Integrity and Financial Holdings
Daily Chhattisgarh is a news organization dedicated to informing our readers. Some news publications strictly forbid their journalists from owning individual stocks or other financial instruments in the sectors they cover. We take a different, but equally rigorous, approach.
We permit our writers and editors to own stocks and other investments. We believe that personal experience with investing and financial management can provide valuable context and a deeper understanding of the business and economic topics we cover. Who better to write about the economy than those who actively participate in it?
However, this freedom comes with strict responsibilities and rules designed to prevent any conflict of interest and to ensure our editorial integrity is never compromised. Our primary commitment is to our readers, not to our personal portfolios.
Our editorial team operates with the highest levels of integrity. Here are the key components of the Daily Chhattisgarh disclosure policy:
Disclosure
-
Author Disclosure: When a writer authors an article about a company or financial instrument in which they have a direct financial interest, that fact will be clearly disclosed at the end of the article.
-
Editorial Independence: Our editorial and news-gathering decisions are made independently of any corporate or investor influence. Our coverage is not influenced by the financial interests of our parent company, investors, or business partners.
-
Internal Policy: All Daily Chhattisgarh employees and regular contractors are required to internally disclose their financial holdings to our compliance officer to ensure adherence to our policies.
-
Affiliates & Partners: Should we partner with affiliate companies that provide products or services, our editorial content will remain independent. Our editorial staff has no knowledge of an affiliate’s specific recommendations, and affiliates have no influence over our editorial content before it is published.
Trading Restrictions
In addition to our disclosure requirements, all Daily Chhattisgarh staff operate under strict trading restrictions. These rules require that they:
-
Must hold any security for at least 30 days. Day trading or short-term speculation based on information they are reporting on is strictly forbidden.
-
Cannot write about a company within a period of 5 market days before or 5 market days after trading its stock. This creates a clear “blackout” period to separate their journalistic work from their personal trading activity.
-
Must receive pre-clearance from our compliance officer before executing any trade in a company within a sector they actively cover.
-
Must notify our compliance officer after any transaction is completed.
Business and Technology Partners
We have business relationships with a variety of companies, including technology vendors, data providers, cloud services, and advertisers. Many of these may be public companies. Our business relationships have no influence on our editorial coverage. Any reporting on a company with which we have a business relationship is purely coincidental.
Advertising, Sponsored Content, and Affiliate Links
To support our journalism, Daily Chhattisgarh accepts advertising and may participate in affiliate marketing programs. We are committed to ensuring you can easily distinguish between our independent editorial content and paid promotions.
-
Advertising: If you see a display ad (e.g., a banner ad) on our site, the advertiser is paying us for that placement. Our advertisers have no influence over our editorial content.
-
Sponsored Content: From time to time, we may publish articles that are paid for and created in partnership with an advertiser. This content will always be clearly and prominently labeled as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “In Partnership With” to distinguish it from our editorial work.
-
Affiliate Links: Some of our articles, particularly in product review or service comparison sections, may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Our editorial recommendations are made independently by our editorial team based on their research and expertise and are never influenced by affiliate partnerships.
In Conclusion
We have designed our disclosure and trading guidelines to serve our readers and our community with fairness and integrity. However, you should always treat any single piece of information, whether from Daily Chhattisgarh or elsewhere, not as a direct recommendation, but as a starting point for your own research and consideration. Critical thinking and personal due diligence are essential to making informed decisions.
