Ethics Policy

At PAPARAZZOX, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and responsibility in all our reporting. Our audience trusts us to deliver accurate, respectful, and unbiased entertainment and celebrity news. This Ethics Policy outlines the principles that guide every editorial decision we make.

1. Accuracy First

We strive to ensure that every story we publish is based on verified, reliable, and clearly sourced information. We avoid sensationalism, unverified rumours, and misleading narratives. When uncertainties exist, we clearly state them.

2. Respect for Privacy

While covering celebrities and public figures, we balance public interest with personal dignity. We do not publish intrusive details, private images, or content obtained through harassment or unethical means.

3. No Paid News

PAPARAZZOX does not accept payment, gifts, or favours in exchange for favourable coverage. Sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and never influences the tone or accuracy of our editorial work.

4. Independence and Neutrality

Our editorial team operates independently from advertisers, brands, production houses, or individual personalities. We do not allow commercial relationships to influence our reporting or editorial decisions.

5. Responsible Use of Sources

We use reliable and authentic sources only. Anonymous sources are considered rarely and used only when:

  • the information cannot be obtained publicly

  • the source provides evidence

  • the public interest is strong

We avoid gossip-based content and verify all claims independently.

6. Sensitive Content Handling

We exercise additional care when reporting on:

  • mental-health issues

  • minors

  • death and tragedies

  • allegations or accusations

Our objective is to inform responsibly without causing harm or distress.

7. No AI-Generated Fabrications

PAPARAZZOX strictly prohibits:

  • AI-generated fake quotes

  • deepfake images

  • synthetic celebrity portrayals

AI is used only for assistance, never for creating or altering factual information.

8. Transparency with Readers

Any conflict of interest is disclosed clearly. If a writer or editor has worked with or has a relationship with a public figure mentioned, our newsroom maintains full transparency.

9. Corrections and Accountability

If an error appears in our reporting, we correct it promptly and transparently as per our Corrections Policy.

10. Zero-Tolerance Policy for Harassment

Our platform does not support:

  • hateful speech

  • harassment

  • character attacks

We expect our writers and readers to participate respectfully in all interactions.
