DailyILM operates as a responsible digital publisher. This Editorial Policy explains how content is selected, written, reviewed, updated, and corrected across the website. The purpose of this document is to ensure accuracy, consistency, neutrality, and public trust in everything we publish.
This policy applies to all categories on DailyILM, including news, education, jobs, results, prize bonds, digests, public information, and evergreen guides.
Editorial Purpose and Scope
DailyILM exists to provide clear, verified, and understandable information to readers in Pakistan and to international audiences seeking reliable context about Pakistani systems.
Our content focuses on:
- Public announcements and official updates
- Education systems, exams, results, and schedules
- Jobs, recruitment notices, and application guidance
- Prize bonds and government-backed financial information
- Digests, publications, and general informational articles
We do not publish content intended to mislead, sensationalize, or speculate. Our editorial role is to reduce confusion, not amplify it.
How Topics Are Selected
Content topics on DailyILM are selected based on public relevance and informational value.
Topics are considered for publication when they meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Official announcements from recognized authorities
- Time-sensitive updates affecting students, job seekers, or the public
- Recurring public-interest topics that require clear explanation
- Evergreen subjects that benefit from structured, factual guidance
Topics are not selected based on:
- Social media trends alone
- Unverified leaks or screenshots
- Rumors circulating on forums or messaging apps
- Political or religious pressure
Each piece of content must serve a clear informational purpose and fit one primary category.
Classification of Information: Announced, Expected, Unconfirmed
DailyILM clearly separates information into three distinct statuses. This distinction is critical to our editorial integrity.
Announced
“Announced” information refers to updates that have been officially released by a recognized authority. This includes formal notifications, press releases, circulars, or confirmed publications.
Announced information is treated as factual and is published with clear attribution to the issuing body.
Expected
“Expected” information refers to updates that follow an established pattern, schedule, or historical cycle but have not yet been officially released.
Expected updates are clearly labeled as such. Dates, figures, or outcomes are never presented as confirmed until formally announced.
Unconfirmed
“Unconfirmed” information includes rumors, predictions, leaks, or claims without official verification.
DailyILM does not publish unconfirmed information as news or fact. If mentioned for public awareness, it is clearly identified as unverified and treated with caution.
Use of Official Sources
DailyILM relies on primary, authoritative sources whenever possible.
Recognized sources include:
- Government departments and ministries
- Education boards and examination authorities
- Public universities and institutions
- National Savings and related financial authorities
- Official recruitment bodies and testing services
Secondary sources may be referenced only for context and are never treated as final authority.
We do not rely on:
- Anonymous claims
- Social media posts without confirmation
- Screenshots without traceable origin
- Forwarded messages or private leaks
When official information is unavailable, this is stated clearly.
Editorial Review and Author Assignment
All content is written by assigned contributors based on subject expertise and category relevance.
Author selection follows internal editorial guidelines to ensure:
- Subject familiarity
- Experience with the topic area
- Consistent tone and accuracy
Editors review content for clarity, factual consistency, and policy compliance before publication. High-risk topics such as results, jobs, prize bonds, and schedules receive additional verification.
Neutrality and Independence Policy
DailyILM maintains strict editorial neutrality.
We do not:
- Promote political parties, candidates, or agendas
- Advocate for or against religious interpretations
- Endorse commercial entities without disclosure
- Allow sponsored content to influence factual reporting
Religious and cultural topics are handled with respect, factual accuracy, and balance, without persuasion or commentary.
Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by advertisers, external organizations, or third parties.
Stance on Rumors and Speculation
DailyILM has a clear stance against rumors and speculation.
We do not publish:
- Guess-based headlines
- Predictive outcomes presented as facts
- Sensational language designed to create urgency
- Content that encourages premature decisions
When public confusion exists due to circulating rumors, our role is to clarify what is confirmed and what is not.
Handling Breaking Updates
Breaking updates are handled with caution and responsibility.
When information is developing:
- Only confirmed details are published
- Partial updates are clearly marked
- Headlines avoid certainty until confirmation
- Updates are time-stamped when relevant
If new information changes earlier details, the content is updated promptly with clear revision notes.
Speed never overrides accuracy.
Content Updates, Revisions, and Archiving
DailyILM regularly reviews published content to ensure continued accuracy.
Content may be:
- Updated when new official information is released
- Revised to correct factual or contextual errors
- Archived when information is no longer relevant
Major updates are reflected within the content to maintain transparency. Outdated information is not silently replaced in a way that misleads readers.
Corrections and Accountability
If an error is identified:
- The issue is reviewed internally
- Corrections are made promptly
- Significant corrections are acknowledged clearly
Readers are encouraged to report potential inaccuracies through official contact channels. Every correction request is evaluated seriously.
Separation of Information and Advice
DailyILM provides information, not personal, legal, financial, or medical advice.
Readers are responsible for verifying final decisions with official authorities before acting on any information published on the site.
This distinction is maintained across all categories.
Policy Review and Updates
This Editorial Policy is reviewed periodically to reflect changes in publishing standards, legal requirements, and platform guidelines.
Any significant changes to this policy will be reflected on this page.
Commitment to Public Trust
Editorial trust is built through consistency, transparency, and restraint. DailyILM is committed to publishing information that readers can rely on, understand, and verify.
Accuracy is not optional. Neutrality is not flexible. Public trust is the standard.
