MDNtv is committed to producing accurate, fair, and independent journalism in service of the public interest.
Editorial Independence
MDNtv maintains full editorial independence. Editorial decisions are not influenced by donors, advertisers, sponsors, political actors, governments, religious institutions, or partner organisations. Financial support does not determine story selection, framing, or editorial outcomes.
Accuracy and Verification
MDNtv strives for accuracy in every story. Information is verified using reliable sources, documentation, and first-hand reporting wherever possible. Where information cannot be independently confirmed, this is clearly disclosed.
Sources
We prioritise named sources. Anonymous sources are used only when there is a clear public-interest justification and when disclosure would pose a risk to the source. The use of anonymous sources is subject to senior editorial approval.
Fairness
MDNtv seeks fairness in reporting and makes reasonable efforts to present relevant perspectives, particularly on matters of public importance.
News and Opinion
• News content is factual, evidence-based, and independently reported.
• Opinion content is clearly labelled and reflects the views of the author, not MDNtv.
Opinion content is never presented as news.
Ethical Standards
MDNtv journalists avoid conflicts of interest and do not accept gifts, inducements, or payments that could compromise editorial integrity. Plagiarism, fabrication, and misrepresentation are prohibited.
