DNPA Code of Ethics

Upholding Trust, Transparency & Responsible Digital Journalism

At byjusweb.com, we follow the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) Code of Ethics to ensure that every piece of content we publish is accurate, fair, transparent, and created with the highest professional standards. Our mission is simple — deliver trustworthy information while respecting readers, laws, and ethical journalism practices.

1. Our Purpose & Commitment

We expect every team member to operate with integrity, fairness, and responsibility.

Our guiding principles:

  • ✔ Never compromise accuracy
  • ✔ Always disclose facts clearly
  • ✔ Avoid conflicts of interest
  • ✔ Maintain transparency in corrections
  • ✔ Treat readers with respect and honesty

We believe ethical journalism builds long-term trust — the foundation of byjusweb.com.

2. Gifts, Favors & Business Conduct

To ensure our newsroom remains fair and unbiased:

✔ Allowed (With Limits)

  • Small, customary items like diaries, pens, calendars
  • Occasional meals with vendors
  • Festival gift hampers (perishable items like sweets)
  • Event tickets only when the host attends the event
  • Vendor outings only with prior management approval

❌ Not Allowed

  • Cash or cash-equivalent gifts
  • Personal loans from vendors
  • Expensive gifts, vacations, or benefits
  • Use of vendor-owned vacation homes for personal trips
  • Family members participating in vendor-sponsored events

We strictly avoid any situation that may appear as a bribe, favor, or undue influence.

3. Conflicts of Interest

All team members must avoid situations where personal interest could influence editorial work.

A conflict may arise if someone:

  • Owns significant interest in a competing or collaborating company
  • Serves as a consultant, advisor, or board member in external businesses
  • Acts as a mediator or broker for third-party deals involving byjusweb.com
  • Maintains relationships that could impact fair judgment

If any such situation appears, team members must disclose it in writing to management.

4. Confidentiality

All confidential data — whether related to stories, internal operations, or user information — must be protected.

Employees must:

  • ✔ Safeguard sensitive information
  • ✔ Never share internal plans or discussions
  • ✔ Avoid misuse of data for personal gain

Any violation can lead to strict disciplinary action.

5. Compliance & Reporting Violations

We encourage transparent reporting.

If any team member notices a possible violation of:

  • Ethical standards
  • Legal requirements
  • Internal policies

They must report it directly to the management or HR. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited.

6. Social Media Guidelines

Use Good Judgment
Once published online, your post can be shared, screenshot, and circulated forever.

Know Our Policies
All employees must follow company policies and maintain professionalism on every platform.

Post Responsibly

  • Avoid abusive, hateful, or defamatory posts
  • Do not reveal confidential company details
  • Maintain respect for colleagues, competitors, and readers
  • Always be accurate — correct mistakes promptly

Speak for Yourself, Not the Company
If you mention byjusweb.com publicly, include a disclaimer:
“Views are my own and do not represent the company.”

Respect Laws
This includes copyright, privacy, financial disclosures, and regulatory guidelines.

Report Concerns
If you see harmful, unethical, or misleading online conduct by team members, inform HR immediately.

7. Plagiarism Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism.

Every story must be:

  • ✔ Original
  • ✔ Properly attributed
  • ✔ Fact-checked
  • ✔ Verified from credible sources

Copying, rewriting without credit, or using copyrighted material without permission is prohibited.

8. Fairness & Balance

We believe every story must reflect both sides.

Our reporters always:

  • Seek comments from all parties involved
  • Allow individuals to respond to allegations
  • Present facts clearly and without bias
  • Avoid sensationalism or misleading angles

Fair reporting is not a preference — it is our responsibility.
