Editorial and Syndication Policy
Asian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is an independent digital news agency committed to delivering credible, timely, and fact-based journalism on Pakistan’s economy, development, and national as well as global affairs.
Our editorial operations function under a clearly defined framework that prioritizes accuracy, transparency, accountability, and ethical reporting in line with international newsroom standards.
Content Sources and Syndication
Asian Broadcasting Corporation publishes a combination of original reporting and curated national and international news coverage.
Original journalism is produced by in-house reporters, editors, and contributors working from Islamabad and across Pakistan. These stories are based on verified information, official data, on-record sources, and documentary evidence.
In addition to original reporting, ABC may republish select news content from reputable national and international news organizations, including but not limited to APP, Reuters, BBC News, and CNN, strictly in accordance with syndication agreements, permissions, and internationally accepted attribution practices.
All syndicated or republished content is clearly labeled within the article body with full source attribution (for example: “— Reuters” or “— BBC News”). This practice complies with Google News policies and global journalistic standards for transparency.
Editorial Standards
All material published by Asian Broadcasting Corporation — whether original or syndicated — undergoes editorial review prior to publication.
Editors assess content for:
- Factual accuracy
- Contextual relevance
- Language clarity
- Ethical compliance
- Public interest value
Opinion and commentary pieces are clearly labeled as Opinion. Views expressed in such content belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect the editorial position of Asian Broadcasting Corporation.

Asian Broadcasting Corporation may use AI-assisted tools, including language models, to support editorial workflows such as text polishing, translation, formatting, and consistency checks.
- AI tools are used only to enhance readability, grammar, and structure
- AI is never used to fabricate facts, invent sources, or generate misleading information
- Every AI-assisted story undergoes final review and approval by a human editor
ABC maintains full human editorial control over all published content.
Transparency and Integrity
Asian Broadcasting Corporation maintains strict editorial independence at all times. Editorial decisions are driven solely by public interest and journalistic merit.
Any sponsored, branded, or partner content — if published — is clearly identified and visually distinguished from editorial material. Advertisers, sponsors, or partners do not influence newsroom decisions.
