Editorial Policy
How H View chooses, researches, writes, checks and corrects its stories, and the promises we make to readers about independence and honesty.
In short
- Reader firstEvery story starts with a real question readers want answered.
- Two perspectivesHer View brings lived experience; His Insight brings research and analysis.
- Checked before publishingAn editor reviews facts, sources, balance and clarity on every story.
- Corrected in the openWhen we get something wrong, we fix it and say so.
1What we stand for
H View is an independent publication built on one idea: Her View, His Insight. We explain technology, AI, careers, money, relationships, lifestyle and Indian culture from more than one perspective, so readers can make decisions with more context. Our motto, Vision Before Mission, means we explain why something matters before telling anyone what to do about it.
2Independence
- Editors decideWhat we cover and what we conclude is decided by our editorial team alone.
- No paid verdictsAdvertisers, brands and affiliate partners cannot buy coverage, scores or positive wording.
- No previews for brandsCompanies do not see or approve stories before they are published.
- Conflicts disclosedIf a writer has a personal or financial link to a subject, we disclose it or assign someone else.
3Research and sources
- We prefer primary sources: official documents, company announcements, government data, research papers and direct interviews.
- Important facts, figures, dates and prices are checked against at least one reliable source, and we link to sources where it helps readers.
- For products, we combine hands-on use where possible with official specifications and policies, as set out in our Review Method.
- We make clear what is a fact, what is analysis and what is opinion.
- We do not publish rumours as facts, and we say when something is unconfirmed.
4Her View and His Insight
Many stories include two named perspectives. Her View focuses on everyday relevance, lived experience and how a decision feels in real life. His Insight focuses on evidence, comparison and long-term value. Both are researched with the same care, and neither is a stereotype: they are two ways of looking at the same question.
5From idea to publication
- The reader question: we start with what readers are trying to understand or decide.
- Research: sources, data, testing and first-hand experience.
- Writing: clear language, real context, and the benefits and limits that matter.
- Editing: an editor checks facts, balance, structure, readability and headlines that match the story.
- Updating: stories are reviewed when facts, prices or rules change, and the “Updated” date shows when.
6Use of AI tools
We may use AI tools to help with research, transcription, outlines, language checks and illustrations. People remain responsible for everything we publish:
- Every story is written or substantially edited, and fact-checked, by a member of our team.
- AI output is never published as fact without checking it against reliable sources.
- Illustrations created with AI are used to explain or decorate a story, never to show a real event or person as if it were a photo.
7Sponsored content and review units
Advertising and commercial arrangements, where present, must be clearly identified and kept separate from editorial content. If a brand provides a product for review, sponsored access or a partnership, we say so clearly in the story, and the verdict stays ours. Affiliate links are explained in our Affiliate Disclosure, and brand collaborations in Work With Us.
8Corrections
We correct errors quickly and openly:
- Small errors such as a typo or a broken link are fixed without a note.
- Factual errors are corrected and a note at the end of the story explains what changed and when.
- Serious errors that change the meaning of a story are corrected with a note at the top.
To report an error, use the corrections form or write to connect@hview.in with the article link and the statement you want us to check.
9Reader comments
We welcome discussion. Comments must follow the community rules in our Terms and Conditions. Comments with several links are checked before they appear, and our team replies under the “H View team” label.
