How we report facts:

• We use simple, everyday language as opposed to scholarly language.
• In addition to reporting the news, we also explore their context and state our opinions directly, rather than indirectly.
• We are loyal to certain ideologies that suit a modern society. Nevertheless, we are fair to those with opposing ideologies and don’t carry out any hateful acts towards them (the ideologies we are loyal to are stated below).
• Regardless of our ideologies, we never distort the facts surrounding a real event. We publish facts with fairness and caution. Photographs are not distorted to give false impressions.
• Even when certain political parties, political figures, and groups seem to agree with us ideologically, we don’t unnecessarily promote such persons or groups. Instead, we present our opinions independently without aligning ourselves with any political camp.
• We don’t accept any advertisements or donations by politicians secretly or officially. We don’t involve ourselves with any political campaign. We don’t get unnecessarily close to politicians even for the sake of reporting. We don’t maintain personal friendships beyond limits with politicians.
• We state facts sharply without submitting to anyone else’s will.
• Our main objective is public welfare; therefore, we do all that we can to present facts with effort and investigation, instead of simply reporting what is said on the surface.
• We make reasonable efforts to ensure that any information posted is correct. If we quote something that we have not independently and directly verified, it is clearly stated.
• If we are aware that some information is not true, we don’t publish it at all.
• When we present a guess or analysis where we have not confirmed the facts, we clearly say so.
• We don’t deceive people for the sake of our media reports. We never use hidden cameras or forced recordings or photography. We don’t secretly record audio tapes, publicize someone’s statements without their permission, hack, or steal information.
• We obtain certain information from confidential sources. We protect those who provide us with such information. We will not reveal their identities even if we are killed or imprisoned.

Responses and Apologies

• Anyone who opposes something published in any of our sites have the freedom to post critical responses (comments) on the same site.
• If someone is wronged by what we have said or written, we provide a chance for that person to respond to it. We will publish, in an appropriate space, such responses formally sent to us.
• If we make a mistake despite our efforts to be accurate and fair in our reporting, we don’t hesitate to apologize.

Ideologies we are loyal to

• We are not ideologically neutral reporters and are partial towards modern democratic concepts.
• We don’t publish reports that divide this nation based on race. Instead, we stand against racism with great enthusiasm and are partial to anti-racist ideals.
• We never engage in unscientific reporting. Our reporting is based on science and not myths.
• We don’t publish ‘conspiracy theories’ based on unscientific, unproven facts. We promise to dispel such theories and show the truth to the country. We are partial to those that oppose conspiracy theories.
• We are sensitive to the climate crisis. We dedicate our practice to save the world’s resources for the children of tomorrow, to preserve a world for them. We are loyal to the ideals of solving the climate crisis.
• We are sensitive to children and women and are especially careful when posting photos, names, etc. of them. We support children’s and women’s rights.

• When reporting about the voiceless sectors of society such as sex workers, prisoners, and those identified as the underworld or branded as criminals, we don’t view them insensitively through popular social ideals. We are fair and loyal to the idea of doing justice to such people.
• We increasingly try to report on people who have suffered injustice in this country including people with disabilities and minority sexual groups. We are loyal to such communities of people.
• We always respect people’s privacy unless public welfare is at stake. We are loyal to the ideals of privacy.
