Being part of Omnimedia 100 News means accepting and upholding this Editorial and Community Code of Conduct.
1. Respect for Every Individual
All members of the Omnimedia 100 News ecosystem are expected to treat every person, community, organization, and institution with dignity and respect.
The following behaviors are not permitted:
- Discrimination of any kind
- Racism
- Xenophobia
- Hate speech
- Personal attacks
- Harassment

Differences of opinion are an essential part of democratic dialogue.

2. Journalism Based on Information, Not Confrontation
The purpose of Omnimedia 100 News is to inform, explain, and help people better understand the world.
Interviews should always be conducted according to the principles of:
- Respect
- Active listening
- Clear and relevant questions
- Information gathering
- Balance
- Professionalism
The interviewee is not an opponent.
An interview should never become a confrontation between journalist and guest.
Instead, it should provide the audience with an opportunity to understand facts, ideas, experiences, and diverse perspectives.
3. The Right to Investigate and the Responsibility to Publish
Journalism plays an essential role in investigating matters of public interest.
Whenever a journalist believes it is necessary to analyze an issue, expose a problem, or present a critical perspective, this must be carried out through responsible journalistic investigation.
Responsible journalism includes:
- Gathering reliable information
- Verifying facts
- Consulting multiple sources whenever appropriate
- Clearly distinguishing facts from opinions
- Providing context and explanation
Constructive criticism is legitimate.
Defamation is not.
4. Distinguishing Facts, Analysis, and Opinion
Content creators and journalists should clearly distinguish between the different types of information they publish.
Fact
A fact is information that can be verified through reliable evidence, documentation, or credible sources.
Facts should be presented as objectively as possible.
Analysis
Analysis is the interpretation of available information based on evidence, professional expertise, and reasoned evaluation.
Analysis may offer explanations, identify patterns, and explore possible implications, while remaining grounded in factual information.
Opinion
An opinion reflects the author’s personal interpretation, viewpoint, or judgment.
Opinions are a legitimate part of public discourse, provided they are clearly presented as opinions rather than objective facts.
Audiences should always be able to distinguish whether they are receiving factual information, analytical interpretation, or personal opinion.
Transparency strengthens trust.
5. Prohibition of Defamation and Personal Attacks
Omnimedia 100 News may never be used as a platform for:
- Damaging reputations without credible evidence
- Publishing false accusations
- Conducting personal attack campaigns
- Manipulating information
- Deliberately presenting statements out of context
- Spreading misinformation intended to deceive or harm others
Freedom of expression carries responsibility.
Every member of the community is expected to exercise that freedom ethically and professionally.
Criticism based on verified information is welcome.
Personal defamation is not.
6. Editorial Independence
Journalists, editors, contributors, and content creators must safeguard their professional independence at all times.
Editorial decisions should prioritize:
- Informing rather than manipulating
- Contributing rather than dividing
- Explaining rather than provoking
- Encouraging understanding rather than polarization
Commercial, political, institutional, or personal interests must never compromise editorial integrity.
Whenever a potential conflict of interest exists, it should be disclosed transparently whenever appropriate.
The credibility of Omnimedia 100 News depends on the trust of its audience.
That trust is built through independence, honesty, transparency, and professional responsibility.
Editorial independence is not only a professional principle—it is one of the foundations of a free and responsible information ecosystem.
