Times of Navi Mumbai
Committed to Accuracy, Fairness, Transparency, and Responsible Journalism
1. Our Editorial Mission
Times of Navi Mumbai (https://timesofnavimumbai.com) is an independent digital news platform founded in 2026. Our mission is to provide readers with timely, accurate, balanced, and relevant news covering Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, and international affairs.
We aim to promote informed public discussion by reporting on issues that matter to our readers, including local developments, politics, business, education, health, technology, civic affairs, and social issues.
We believe journalism should serve the public interest and uphold the principles of truth, fairness, accountability, and editorial independence.
2. Editorial Independence
Times of Navi Mumbai strives to maintain independence in its news gathering, reporting, and publication decisions.
Our editorial decisions are guided by newsworthiness, public interest, factual accuracy, and relevance to our audience. We do not allow political affiliations, commercial interests, personal relationships, or external pressure to dictate our editorial conclusions.
Advertisers, sponsors, political organisations, and other external parties do not automatically receive editorial control over our news coverage.
Any sponsored or promotional content published on our platform should be appropriately identified so that readers can distinguish it from independent editorial reporting.
3. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We are committed to publishing information that is accurate and properly contextualised.
Our editorial team aims to:
- Verify important facts before publication.
- Consult credible sources, official records, documents, and relevant statements wherever appropriate.
- Cross-check information when a story involves serious allegations or disputed claims.
- Avoid publishing unverified rumours, misleading claims, or fabricated information as established fact.
- Review names, dates, locations, statistics, quotations, and other material details before publication.
- Clearly communicate uncertainty when facts remain unconfirmed.
Breaking news may develop rapidly. When information is incomplete, we aim to distinguish confirmed facts from preliminary reports and update our coverage as reliable information becomes available.
4. Sources and Attribution
We seek to identify the sources of information wherever appropriate and possible.
Our reporting may rely on original interviews, official statements, government releases, public records, research reports, eyewitness accounts, credible news organisations, and other relevant sources.
Information obtained from other publications or sources should be attributed appropriately. We do not support plagiarism or presenting another organisation’s original reporting as our own.
Anonymous sources may be used when the information is significant, cannot reasonably be obtained through an attributable source, and there is a legitimate reason to protect the source’s identity. Such information should be assessed carefully before publication.
We may withhold a source’s identity where confidentiality has been agreed upon, subject to applicable law and editorial considerations.
5. Fairness and Right of Reply
We aim to represent relevant perspectives fairly, particularly in stories involving allegations, disputes, public controversies, or criticism of individuals and organisations.
Where reasonably practicable, we seek comments from the person or organisation facing serious allegations before publication. If a response cannot be obtained within the available timeframe, we may state that a request for comment was made and that a response had not been received at
