Stringent standards are ensured and maintained by following a comprehensive Editorial Policy for Vishvas News that lays down a code of conduct and guidelines for its journalists. Vishvas stands by a ‘no influencers policy’ which ensures that its stories are not influenced by any bias. No one working in Vishvas engages in partisan political activity nor does any of them make any contributions to candidates or advocacy organisations.

Key figures in the Vishvas team have not, at least over the past one year, spoken out on major political issues or other such matters. During that period, they have also not advocated for any political party, candidate or cause, save for the cause of transparency and accuracy in public debate. These key team members have not held any political office either.

As of April 2026, this information remains current and accurate, reflecting the most recent updates and developments in the given context.

1. Our Dedication to Objectivity

Vishvas News is dedicated to offering impartial, grounded, and evidence-based fact-checking. We operate under a strict policy of transparency regarding any financial, personal, or professional interests that could be perceived as influencing our work to maintain our readers’ trust.

2. Ethics of Employees and Contributors

Political Neutrality: It is prohibited for our personnel and frequent contributors to stand for political office in a political party, support political candidates, promote political causes, or personally take political stands.

A staff member is required to recuse themselves in a particular investigation if they either personally or professionally know someone or an organisation listed in a fact-check.

3. Expert and Source Disclosure

The experts are short-listed based on validated credentials and relevant experience. However, we recognise that the term ‘neutrality’ is complex in itself. 

Hence:

Complete Disclosure: Any relevant interests of the individuals and organisations included within our reports will be divulged. This would entail employment history, consulting agreements, or funding that was made known within the context of the interview or is publicly known.

Bias Verification: We test the financial and ideological affiliations of sources cited in our content to assess their credibility. If the source has any form of bias or investment, including funding links, this is clearly disclosed to maintain clarity and objectivity.

4. How We Address The Conflicts

If a potential conflict exists that has been identified during the examination, we will

1. Transparency Note: A ‘Transparency Note’ or ‘Conflict Disclosure’ box should appear in the article.
2. Double-check: To ensure that findings remain objective, obtain a second, independent opinion from a source with no such affiliations.
3. Corrected: In the event a conflict is identified after publication, we will immediately update the article with a prominent note outlining the relationship.
