DNPA Code of Ethics

At LiveTimes, we believe that responsible journalism begins with honesty, fairness and respect for our readers. Our aim is to publish information that is useful, clear and relevant while maintaining appropriate editorial standards.

This Code of Ethics explains the principles we follow while preparing, publishing and sharing content on LiveTimes. It also outlines the standards expected from people who contribute to or represent our publication.

1. Editorial Integrity

Editorial decisions should be guided by facts, public interest and the relevance of a story. Personal interests, outside pressure or financial benefits should not influence how information is reported or presented.

  • Content should be prepared honestly and responsibly.
  • Writers should make reasonable efforts to check facts before publication.
  • Headlines should accurately reflect the information in the article.
  • Opinions should not be presented as established facts.
  • Unverified claims should not be presented as confirmed information.

2. Gifts, Favors and Benefits

People contributing to LiveTimes should not accept gifts, payments, favors or personal benefits in exchange for publishing, changing, promoting or removing editorial content.

Any business interaction involving gifts, hospitality or other benefits should be handled carefully. Such benefits must not influence editorial judgment or create an obligation to a third party.

Cash payments or benefits intended to influence editorial decisions are not acceptable.

3. Conflict of Interest

Anyone involved in editorial work should avoid situations where personal, financial or professional interests could affect their judgment.

Potential conflicts may include:

  • Having a financial interest in a business being covered.
  • Accepting benefits from a company or individual featured in an article.
  • Using editorial content to promote a personal business or interest without proper disclosure.
  • Allowing personal relationships to influence reporting or editorial decisions.

Where a conflict of interest may affect the credibility of content, it should be disclosed and addressed appropriately.

4. Accuracy and Corrections

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information published on LiveTimes is accurate and understandable. However, errors can sometimes occur.

When a factual error is identified, we review the matter and make corrections or updates where appropriate. Significant changes should not be made in a way that misleads readers.

Readers can report factual errors or request a review by contacting us at livetimes.media@gmail.com.

5. Fairness and Right to Respond

We aim to present information fairly, especially when an article contains criticism, allegations or claims that may affect a person, organisation or business.

Where reasonably possible, the concerned party should be given an opportunity to share its response before publication. If a response is received after publication, we may review it and update the article where appropriate.

We do not intend to present unverified allegations as proven facts.

6. Plagiarism and Original Content

LiveTimes does not support plagiarism or the unauthorised copying of another publisher’s work.

  • Content should be original or properly attributed to its source.
  • Direct quotations should be clearly identified and credited where appropriate.
  • Copyrighted images, videos and other materials should only be used when permission, a valid licence or another lawful basis allows their use.
  • Rewriting another publisher’s content without meaningful originality or proper attribution should be avoided.

We respect the intellectual property rights of individuals, publishers and organisations. Concerns about copied or improperly used material can be sent to our contact email.

7. Confidentiality and Privacy

Information received in confidence during editorial or business activities should be handled responsibly. Private information should not be disclosed without proper authorisation or a valid legal reason.

People contributing to LiveTimes should respect the privacy of readers, sources, colleagues and other individuals. Personal information, private communications and confidential documents should not be shared carelessly.

We also expect everyone involved in publishing content to respect applicable privacy and data protection laws.

8. Social Media Guidelines

Social media is an important way to share news and communicate with readers. However, public posts can affect the reputation of both individuals and publications. Anyone representing LiveTimes on social media should use good judgment and communicate responsibly.

Our social media guidelines include the following principles:

  • Be responsible: Think carefully before publishing posts, comments, photographs or videos.
  • Be accurate: Do not knowingly share false, misleading or unverified information as fact.
  • Respect others: Avoid abusive, discriminatory, threatening or harassing language.
  • Protect privacy: Do not share private conversations, personal information or confidential material without proper permission.
  • Respect copyright: Follow applicable copyright and platform rules when sharing images, videos and other content.
  • Represent personal views honestly: Personal opinions should not be presented as official statements from LiveTimes.

Anyone authorised to speak on behalf of LiveTimes should ensure that their public communication is accurate, professional and consistent with the publication’s standards.

9. Responsible Reporting

We aim to cover news and developments in a responsible manner. Content should not intentionally mislead readers through exaggerated headlines, manipulated information or unsupported claims.

When reporting on sensitive subjects, writers should consider the possible impact of their words and avoid unnecessary harm, sensationalism or speculation.

10. Compliance with Laws

Content published on LiveTimes should respect applicable laws, including those relating to copyright, privacy, defamation and other relevant legal requirements.

Anyone contributing to the publication is expected to follow these standards. Concerns about a possible violation may be reported to LiveTimes for review.

11. Reporting an Ethical Concern

If you notice content or conduct that may violate these standards, you can contact us with the relevant details. Please include the article URL, a description of the concern and any supporting information that may help us review the matter.
