Plagiarism and Fairness
Plagiarism is a serious violation of journalistic ethics and undermines the integrity of our work at Reel Mandu. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of originality and attribution in our reporting, ensuring that all content is the result of our own research, analysis, and creative effort.
Fairness is equally paramount in our journalistic endeavors. We believe in giving credit where it is due and acknowledging the contributions of others to the public discourse. When referencing external sources or building upon existing ideas, we strive to provide proper attribution and ensure that our use of others’ work is fair and respectful.
At Reel Mandu, we do not condone the unauthorized use of copyrighted material or the misrepresentation of others’ ideas as our own. Plagiarism undermines the trust of our audience and damages our credibility as journalists. We are committed to conducting ourselves with honesty, integrity, and professionalism in all aspects of our work, including the avoidance of plagiarism and the promotion of fairness in our reporting.
By upholding these principles and guidelines, Reel Mandu remains committed to ethical journalism and the trust and confidence of our audience.
