Source & Attribution Policy

Transparent Sourcing Framework

At The Ganges Today, transparent attribution is the bedrock of our journalistic credibility. We operate on the principle that readers have an absolute right to audit our sources and independently verify our reporting.

How We Attribute Sources

• Government Gazettes & Official Releases: Whenever a government policy, statutory amendment, or diplomatic statement is reported, we cite and link directly to the primary document (such as the Press Information Bureau release, Ministry notification, or Gazette of India bulletin). We do not cloak public documents under vague labels like “sources told us.”
• News Wires & Secondary Reporting: When our dispatches incorporate reporting first uncovered by wire services (PTI, ANI, Reuters) or other news organizations, we explicitly credit the original reporting entity both in the text and within the article’s Sourcing Docket.
• Corporate & Regulatory Disclosures: Financial data, investment figures, and corporate developments are attributed directly to statutory regulatory filings lodged with stock exchanges (BSE/NSE), the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, or the Reserve Bank of India.
• Visual & Photographic Media: All photographs, infographics, and satellite imagery are attributed to their legitimate source (e.g., Wikimedia Commons Creative Commons licenses, ISRO, Indian Navy public domain releases, or licensed agency feeds). The Ganges Today does not claim copyright ownership over third-party visual assets merely because they appear on our website.

The Sourcing Docket

Every comprehensive article published by The Ganges Today Desk concludes with an explicit Sources & Factual Verification Docket detailing the primary institutional sources, regulatory registries, and verification methodology utilized in compiling the report.
