Editorial Methodology

ZIPNEWS Decoded articles are comprehensive analyses compiled from multiple verified sources. Here's how we ensure accuracy, balance, and transparency in our reporting.

Our Process

Every Decoded article follows a rigorous multi-step process:

Research: We gather information from 10-20+ sources for each topic, prioritizing wire services and established newspapers.
Verification: Key facts must appear in at least two independent sources before inclusion. Single-source claims are clearly labeled.
Balance: We present multiple perspectives on every issue - not political "left vs right," but different stakeholder viewpoints (government, experts, affected parties, industry).
Attribution: Every significant claim is attributed to its source, allowing readers to verify information independently.
Review: All articles undergo editorial review before publication.

Source Standards

We maintain strict standards for source selection:

Primary Sources

Wire services and official releases form the foundation of our fact-gathering.

Reuters, Associated Press, AFP, Bloomberg, PTI, Official Government Releases

Quality Newspapers

Established newspapers with editorial standards provide context and additional verification.

The Hindu, Indian Express, Economic Times, BBC, Guardian, NYT, WSJ, Al Jazeera, and others

Specialist Sources

Domain experts are used for topic-specific coverage.

ESPNcricinfo (sports), TechCrunch (technology), Nature (science), and category leaders

What We Exclude

To maintain credibility, we do not source from:

Politically affiliated publications (party-owned or aligned media)
State-controlled foreign media (propaganda outlets)
Opinion columns and editorials (we report news, not opinions)
Sensationalist outlets known for unreliable reporting
Aggregators (we go to original sources)

Our Principles

Accuracy First

Facts over speed. We verify before we publish.

Source Transparency

Every claim attributed. Readers can verify independently.

Multiple Perspectives

Present all relevant viewpoints, let readers decide.

No Agenda

We don't take sides. We present the complete picture.
