Editorial Policy & Ethics

1. Editorial Mission

Dubai.News is an independent digital media publication licensed in the United Arab Emirates. Our mission is to report on Dubai and its global intersections with accuracy, fairness, and editorial responsibility.

We publish journalism that informs public understanding of culture, business, technology, lifestyle, and people shaping Dubai’s role on the world stage.

2. Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions at Dubai.News are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, partners, or external interests.

Commercial relationships do not influence:

  • Story selection

  • Headlines

  • Editorial tone

  • Conclusions or opinions

Any sponsored or paid content is clearly labeled and separated from editorial coverage.

3. Standards of Accuracy and Sourcing

We aim to ensure that all published content is accurate at the time of publication.

Our standards include:

  • Verification of information using reliable sources

  • Attribution of quotes, data, and third-party material

  • Contextual reporting that avoids misleading presentation

When primary sources are unavailable, we may rely on reputable secondary sources and will indicate this where appropriate.

4. Corrections and Updates

Dubai.News is committed to transparency and accountability.

  • Errors of fact are corrected promptly once verified.

  • Significant corrections are clearly noted within the article.

  • Updates or clarifications may be made to reflect new information.

Requests for corrections can be submitted via the contact information provided on our website and are reviewed by the editorial team.

5. Opinion, Analysis, and Commentary

  • Opinion content is clearly distinguished from news reporting.

  • Analysis and commentary are grounded in factual context and editorial judgment.

6. Fairness and Right of Reply

We strive to present subjects fairly and responsibly.

When individuals or organizations are the focus of critical coverage:

  • Responses may be included in the original publication or subsequent updates where appropriate.

7. Ethical Conduct

Our editors and contributors are expected to:

  • Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived

  • Refrain from accepting gifts or incentives that could compromise editorial integrity

Content is produced in accordance with professional journalistic ethics and applicable UAE media regulations.

8. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Editorial Tools

All published content is subject to human editorial oversight and accountability. Editorial responsibility rests with Dubai.News, regardless of the tools used in production.
