Content Policy

Global Business Line is committed to responsible, independent, and transparent journalism. Our editorial policies are designed to uphold credibility, accuracy, and public trust while serving readers with high-quality business and global news coverage.

1. Editorial Independence

Global Business Line maintains strict editorial independence.

  • Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, governments, political entities, or corporate interests.
  • Sponsored content, partnerships, or advertorials—where applicable—are clearly labeled and separated from editorial content.
  • Opinion pieces are clearly distinguished from news reporting.

2. Content Standards

We publish content that meets the following standards:

  • Accuracy & Verification:
    All factual information is verified using reliable primary and secondary sources before publication.
  • Original Reporting:
    We prioritize original reporting, expert interviews, on-ground insights, and analytical journalism.
  • Clarity & Context:
    Articles aim to provide context, background, and implications—not just headlines.
  • Non-Partisanship:
    Coverage remains neutral, balanced, and free from political or ideological bias.
  • No Clickbait:
    Headlines accurately reflect the content and intent of the article.

3. Sourcing Policy

Global Business Line follows responsible sourcing practices:

  • Sources include official statements, government data, company disclosures, regulatory filings, academic research, and expert commentary.
  • Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the information is in the public interest.
  • Rumors, unverified claims, and misleading information are not published.
  • When data or third-party research is used, proper attribution is provided.

4. Corrections & Updates Policy

We are committed to transparency and accountability.

  • If a factual error is identified, it is corrected promptly.
  • Significant corrections or updates are clearly mentioned within the article.
  • Updates due to developing stories are time-stamped where relevant.

To report an error or request a correction, contact:
📩 media@globalbusinessline.com

5. Content Removal Policy

Global Business Line considers content removal requests under the following conditions:

  • Proven factual inaccuracies that cannot be reasonably corrected
  • Legal requirements, court orders, or regulatory obligations
  • Privacy concerns involving private individuals
  • Copyright infringement claims with valid proof

We do not remove content solely due to:

  • Disagreement with opinions
  • Reputational discomfort without factual basis
  • Commercial or political pressure

All removal requests must be sent to:

Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

6. Ethical Use of AI & Automation

Where applicable, AI tools may be used to support research, transcription, or workflow efficiency.
However:

  • Final editorial judgment rests with human editors.
  • AI-generated content is reviewed for accuracy, originality, and compliance with editorial standards.
  • We do not publish automated content without editorial oversight.

7. User-Generated Content & Comments

  • User comments and submissions must adhere to respectful and lawful discourse.
  • Hate speech, misinformation, spam, or abusive content is not permitted.
  • Global Business Line reserves the right to moderate or remove comments that violate these standards.

  • Republishing, scraping, or redistribution without permission is prohibited.
  • Fair use of excerpts must include proper attribution and a backlink.
