How we work
Curiosity, with care.
Pride and accuracy belong together. These standards explain how we research, credit, review and correct our work.
Specificity over slogans.
We prefer names, dates, processes, measurements and first-hand voices to promotional superlatives. Claims such as first, largest and only require an authoritative source. Institutional and company claims are clearly attributed.
Verification is part of the story.
Every article records when its time-sensitive facts were last reviewed. Travel information, opening hours and project status are checked close to publication. Profiles distinguish clearly between being born in Bihar, being based here, being founded here and maintaining another meaningful connection to the state.
People retain authorship.
Photographers, artists, translators, cooks and community knowledge-holders are credited. We seek permission for interviews, workshop photography, designs and recordings. Sponsorship, hospitality and relevant personal relationships are disclosed.
Corrections.
When a material error is confirmed, we correct it promptly and add a dated note explaining the change. Clarifications that improve precision are treated seriously even when they do not alter the central account.
Know something we should examine or correct? A public contact route will be added before contributor submissions open.
