Welcome to NKT News’s Editorial Policy. Our mission is to provide timely, accurate, and reliable financial news and benefit-scheme updates from both the U.S. and the U.K. This policy outlines the principles that guide our editorial decisions—ensuring transparency, integrity, and accountability in everything we publish.
1. Editorial Mission & Values
- Truth First: We are committed to fair, balanced, and fact-based reporting. Our articles are driven by verified information, not personal opinions.
- Independent Voice: Our editorial decisions are made independently, with public interest as our core priority—not influenced by advertisers or external parties.
- Clarity & Professionalism: We aim to deliver content in clear, accessible English, using a tone that makes complex topics easier to understand.
2. Accuracy, Corrections & Updates
- Verification: Every piece of content is checked against primary sources or multiple reputable outlets before it is published.
- Updates & Corrections: We regularly update articles as new information becomes available. If significant errors are found, we issue transparent corrections or retractions and clearly mark them on the article page.
3. Sources & Attribution
- Credible Sourcing: We cite and link directly to government resources (e.g., IRS, HMRC), verified press releases, and authoritative data.
- Anonymous Sources: Used rarely, and only with senior editorial approval. They must demonstrate strong public interest and be supported by documentation.
4. Opinion vs. News
- Clear Labels: Opinion pieces are clearly labeled and attributed to specific authors. News content is strictly factual and free of editorial bias.
- Transparency: Readers can easily distinguish between objective reporting and commentary.
5. Conflict of Interest
- Independence: Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers or sponsors.
- Disclosure: Any relevant financial or personal affiliations of our writers or editors will be disclosed within the article when applicable.
- Editorial Firewall: Revenue operations (ads, affiliates, sponsorships) are fully separated from our editorial processes.
6. Advertising & Affiliate Policy
- Ad Transparency: Advertisements are clearly marked and never blended with editorial content.
- Affiliate Links: If an article includes affiliate links, we will disclose this. Recommendations are made based on value to the reader, not financial incentives.
7. Legal and Compliance
- No Defamation or Libel: All claims are evidence-backed. We avoid misleading statements about individuals, companies, or government bodies.
- Copyright Respect: All content and images used on our site are original, licensed, or used with explicit permission and proper attribution.
8. Retrospective Changes & Governance
- Policy Review: This Editorial Policy is reviewed annually—or sooner, if needed—to remain aligned with media industry standards and legal updates.
- Editorial Oversight: A dedicated Editor-in-Chief ensures policy enforcement and journalistic quality across all content. Concerns may be submitted via our Contact Page.
9. Feedback & Corrections
We welcome and value reader feedback, especially related to factual accuracy.
- Contact Us: [email protected]
- Correction Process: All correction requests will be reviewed and, if valid, appropriate updates or clarifications will be published promptly.
