Editorial Policy & Standards
AsiaDailyPost adheres to internationally recognised journalism standards. Below is our public editorial charter, last updated June 2026.
1. Accuracy
Every claim must be verified with at least two independent sources. We do not publish rumours, single-source allegations against named individuals, or content from unverified social media accounts without clearly labelling it as such.
2. Independence
AsiaDailyPost’s editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, owners and political affiliations. Sponsored content is clearly labelled as “Sponsored” or “Partner Content” and never appears in our main news streams.
3. Sourcing
- Named sources preferred. We name sources whenever possible. Anonymous sources are used only when the information is in the public interest and the source faces credible risk.
- Documents over claims. Where possible we link to primary documents (court filings, government data, peer-reviewed research).
- Geographic diversity. Each major Asian story includes at least one local source whenever feasible.
4. Fairness & Right of Reply
Any individual or organisation named in a critical context is contacted for comment before publication. Responses are included in full or, when space is limited, fairly summarised.
5. Use of AI
AsiaDailyPost may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with research, data visualisation (D3.js charts), translation, and summarisation. All AI-assisted output is reviewed by a human editor before publication. We do not publish AI-generated text presented as original reporting. Articles produced wholly by automation (e.g. market summaries, sports scoreboards) are clearly labelled “Auto-generated”.
6. Plagiarism
Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. All quotations, ideas, and significant data points are attributed to their original creators with hyperlinks where applicable.
7. Conflicts of Interest
Editors and reporters disclose any financial, family or political relationships that might bear on a story. Reporters do not cover companies or individuals in which they hold a personal stake.
8. Comments & Reader Conduct
Reader comments are moderated. We remove content that contains hate speech, doxxing, harassment, spam, or threats. Disagreement is welcomed; abuse is not.
9. Diversity of Perspective
We actively pursue a diversity of voices across gender, geography, age, and political viewpoint. Our editorial board reviews coverage quarterly to identify and correct blind spots.
10. Accountability
Errors are corrected publicly per our Corrections Policy. Serious complaints can be lodged with the Editor-in-Chief at editor@asiadailypost.com.
This document is reviewed annually. Suggestions for improvement are welcome at editor@asiadailypost.com.
