Editorial Policy (Times of Dubai)
Alright, let’s cut to the chase: at Times of Dubai, credibility isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our North Star. We’re not in the business of clickbait or shortcuts. We care about the facts (even if that means triple-checking them at 2am), telling stories honestly, and keeping things real—basically, old-school journalism, with a little UAE flair.
Accuracy & Verification
Every piece we run gets put through the wringer: fact-checks, source double-takes, the whole nine yards. If we mess up, you’ll hear about it—no sweeping mistakes under the rug. We’ll fix it, right there in the article, and own it. Accountability? Yeah, we’re into it.
Impartiality & Fairness
No one’s pulling our strings. Zero political games, no backroom deals, and definitely no sneaky influence from advertisers or bigwigs. We actually care about showing different sides of a story. You want the full picture, not just some echo chamber, right? We thought so.
Independence & Transparency
Ads and editorial? Never mixed. If something’s sponsored, you’ll know it—big, bold, and crystal clear. Our crew doesn’t take gifts or “favors,” so don’t even try. We’re here to tell stories, not cash in on freebies.
Corrections Policy
Look, we’re human. Sometimes a typo sneaks in, or a fact slips through the cracks. If you spot something off, give us a shout. We’ll fix it fast, and we won’t pretend it never happened. Honesty’s kind of our thing.
Ethical Reporting
We don’t play dirty. No plagiarism, no making stuff up, no shady edits. And when it comes to sensitive topics—kids, tragedies, vulnerable folks—we tread carefully. Respect and empathy always come before the scoop.
Reader Engagement
You’re the reason we do this, so your feedback? Bring it on. Got a suggestion, a gripe, or caught a mistake? Drop us a line at editor@timesofdubai.ae. Someone’s actually reading those, promise.
At Times of Dubai, we believe that credible journalism is not just about delivering the news — it’s about fostering understanding, dialogue, and trust in a rapidly changing world.
