ST News and the DNPA Code of Ethics

In an age of rapid information flow and digital disruption, journalistic ethics have never been more vital. At ST News, we recognize the immense responsibility we carry as members of the media. As part of our ongoing commitment to ethical journalism, ST News proudly adheres to the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) Code of Ethics.

The DNPA Code of Ethics serves as a guiding framework for digital news organizations across India. It emphasizes the core values of truth, fairness, accuracy, transparency, and independence—principles that lie at the heart of credible journalism. By following this code, ST News ensures that our content not only informs but also empowers our readers with verified and balanced information.

We believe that freedom of the press is both a right and a duty. While we stand firm on our independence, we also understand the importance of acting responsibly, especially in a digital environment where misinformation can spread rapidly. The DNPA Code of Ethics helps us maintain this balance—safeguarding public interest while respecting individual rights.

At ST News:

  • We verify facts before publication.

  • We offer fair representation to all voices.

  • We correct mistakes transparently when they occur.

  • We avoid sensationalism and clickbait.

  • We uphold the dignity of individuals and communities in our reporting.

By aligning with the DNPA Code of Ethics, we reaffirm our pledge to uphold the highest standards of digital journalism. Our readers deserve nothing less than honest, unbiased, and respectful reporting—and that is what ST News strives to deliver every single day.

We thank our audience for placing their trust in us. Together, let us continue to build a media landscape that is responsible, ethical, and truly democratic.
