The editorial team of Nová Večerní Praha is committed to responsible, independent and professional journalism. This Editorial Code of Ethics defines the fundamental principles that guide all editors, journalists and contributors in their work. Its purpose is to provide truthful, verified and meaningful information while respecting human dignity, freedom of expression and the public interest.

1. Truthfulness and Verification

The editorial team publishes only information that has been properly verified using reliable sources. When full verification is not possible, this fact must be clearly communicated to readers. The deliberate dissemination of false, misleading or distorted information is unacceptable.

2. Editorial Independence

Nová Večerní Praha operates independently of political, economic, ideological or other external interests. Editorial content must not be influenced by personal, commercial or political pressure. Editorial decision-making remains autonomous at all times.

3. Separation of Editorial Content and Advertising

Advertising, sponsored or PR content is always clearly identified and must not be confused with independent editorial journalism. Readers have the right to know whether content is editorial, opinion-based or commercial in nature.

4. Objectivity and Balance

The editorial team strives for objective and balanced reporting. Where appropriate, relevant viewpoints are presented fairly and without prejudice. Opinion pieces and commentary are clearly distinguished from news reporting and reflect the personal views of the author.

5. Responsibility to the Public

Nová Večerní Praha considers the public interest to be a fundamental principle of its work. Content is published based on its social relevance rather than sensationalism or click-driven motives. The newsroom rejects distortion, exaggeration and the pursuit of attention at the expense of accuracy.

6. Protection of Sources and Privacy

The editorial team respects the right to privacy of individuals. Personal data, sensitive information and the identity of confidential sources are protected unless disclosure is justified by a compelling public interest. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and responsibly.

7. Respect for Human Dignity

The newsroom rejects discrimination based on gender, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, age or health status. Editorial content must not intentionally demean, stigmatize or ridicule individuals or groups.

8. Corrections and Transparency

If an error occurs, the editorial team is obliged to correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections must be made clearly and visibly to ensure readers are not misled.

9. Authorial Responsibility and Copyright

Each author is responsible for the content they publish. Plagiarism, unauthorized use of third-party texts, images or audiovisual materials is strictly prohibited. The editorial team respects copyright law and licensing conditions.

10. Social Media and Public Conduct

Members of the editorial team recognize that their public conduct, including activity on social media, can affect the credibility of the publication. Journalists are expected to act responsibly and in a manner that does not harm the reputation of Nová Večerní Praha.

11. International and Language Standards

All content published in foreign languages adheres to the same ethical, professional and editorial standards as Czech-language content. The English edition of Nová Večerní Praha is an independent editorial product and is subject to the same ethical principles as the Czech edition.

12. Final Provisions

This Editorial Code of Ethics is binding for all editors, journalists, contributors and external collaborators of Nová Večerní Praha. The Code is a living document and may be updated to reflect developments in journalism, legislation and societal expectations.
