Funding Policy – Jharkhand Reporter

At Jharkhand Reporter, we firmly believe that independent journalism thrives on transparency. To maintain credibility and public trust, we openly share how our platform is funded and how we sustain our newsroom operations.

Sources of Funding

1. Advertisements –
   • Our primary source of revenue comes from display ads, sponsored placements, and digital advertisements featured on our website.
   • These advertisements help us cover operational costs, technological support, and content creation.
   • All advertising content is clearly marked and does not influence our editorial independence.
2. Parental Company Support –
   • Jharkhand Reporter is owned and managed by Auros MediaTech Convergence Private Limited, which provides financial and infrastructural support.
   • This backing ensures that our newsroom can focus on delivering factual, unbiased, and impactful journalism.

Editorial Independence

• While we are funded through advertisements and our parent company, our editorial team works independently.
• Advertisers, sponsors, or our parent company have no role in editorial decision-making.
• All news stories, opinions, and reports are produced based on journalistic values of accuracy, fairness, and accountability.

Transparency with Readers

• We are committed to disclosing any potential conflict of interest related to funding.
• Sponsored content, if published, will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” to distinguish it from editorial content.

Why Transparency Matters

• By sharing our funding sources openly, we want our readers to feel confident that Jharkhand Reporter’s journalism is free from undue influence.
• Our goal is to ensure that public trust remains at the heart of everything we do.
