Content production standards on the site

Our team strictly adheres to the journalist’s professional code. When preparing news, we are guided by the following principles:

1. Precision
   The information must not contain factual errors. Our role is to collect reliable information and truthfully reflect the events. Journalists do not falsify, distort or dramatize events. When preparing materials, we do not tell people what to do. This is called “staging”, and we are not engaged in staging and filming an event that would not have happened without our presence.
2. Impartiality (balance)
   The information must be unbiased. Balanced coverage of issues or events is achieved by presenting different points of view on the event. Our news does not contain vocabulary that reflects personal feelings, assessments or prejudices of the journalist. In our news there are opinions, interviews of people, quotes / synchronicities. The audio and visual elements of the video news are edited in such a way as to clearly and impartially convey the opinion of the interviewee. For us, calls for regime change, demonstration of violence, exaggeration of importance, personal value judgments, and back-and-forth are unacceptable.
