Editorial Policy
Our Editorial Commitment
The Circle Media Plus (TCMP) is committed to independent, accurate, and ethical journalism. Our reporting exists to inform the public, amplify underrepresented perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to civic discourse.
Editorial decisions at TCMP are guided by public interest, not political, commercial, or personal influence.
Accuracy and Verification
All published content must be:
Fact-checked and verified using reliable sources
Clearly attributed where external information is used
Reviewed by an editor before publication
We do not publish unverified claims, rumours, or misleading information.
Independence and Integrity
TCMP maintains a strict separation between editorial work and any commercial activity.
We do not accept sponsored editorial content
We do not publish paid-for articles or undisclosed partnerships
Contributors must disclose any conflicts of interest
Editorial judgment is never influenced by donors, partners, or advertisers.
Opinion and Analysis
Opinion pieces are clearly labelled and reflect the views of the author, not TCMP as an organisation. All opinion content must meet the same standards of accuracy and fairness as news reporting.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
TCMP does not publish AI-generated journalism. Editorial content must be the product of human reporting, analysis, and storytelling.
Ethical Reporting
We handle sensitive topics with care and responsibility, particularly where reporting may affect vulnerable individuals or communities. We avoid sensationalism and prioritise context and balance.
