Mithila live 24 is committed to journalism that serves the public interest. Every member of our newsroom is expected to understand and uphold the standards below, from reporters and editors to the automation desk that assists with wire monitoring.
Accuracy above speed
We publish only what we believe to be true. Every claim is sourced, every name is checked and every number is verified against original documents or authoritative sources. When we cannot verify a story, we hold it rather than publish it.
Independence
Our newsroom operates independently of advertisers, funders, political parties and any outside interest. Editorial decisions are made by journalists, not by the business side. Staff may not accept gifts, payments or favors from sources or subjects of coverage.
Fairness
We seek out and reflect a diversity of perspectives. We give subjects of serious allegations a meaningful opportunity to respond before publication. We do not distort facts, take quotes out of context or omit relevant information to strengthen a narrative.
Transparency
We identify our sources of information clearly. Anonymous sources are used only when there is a compelling public interest and no other way to obtain the information; the reason for anonymity is explained to readers. We correct errors promptly and visibly.
AI-assisted reporting
Mithila live 24 uses automated tools to monitor wire feeds and draft initial write-ups. Every AI-assisted draft is reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a human journalist before publication. We do not publish machine-generated content without human oversight.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it. Corrections are appended to the article and noted in the headline or metadata where appropriate. Readers can report errors by emailing editor@mithilalive24.org.
