Welcome to the Editorial Policy of DeccanWire. This policy outlines the standards, principles, and practices we follow when reviewing, approving, and distributing press releases on our platform. At DeccanWire, we are committed to maintaining a professional, factual, and ethical environment for news dissemination. Our editorial guidelines ensure that the press releases we distribute are clear, accurate, and suitable for syndication to media partners, journalists, and news outlets.

This policy applies to all content submitted to DeccanWire for distribution, including text, images, and any accompanying media. By submitting your press release, you agree to comply with the standards described below.

Our Editorial Mission

Our editorial mission is to foster credible and newsworthy communication between organizations and the media ecosystem. We provide a reputable distribution channel that helps businesses, institutions, and public bodies share their announcements with relevant audiences.

We do not function as a promotional advertising platform. Instead, we focus on structured distribution and media-ready press release publishing, which helps journalists, editors, and publications access high-quality news material.

Core Editorial Principles

To maintain the highest editorial standards, DeccanWire presses releases must follow these core principles:

Newsworthiness

Press releases must present announcements that are timely, relevant, and of interest to journalists or broader audiences. Acceptable content typically includes:

• Product launches or feature rollouts

• Organizational milestones (awards, anniversaries, expansions)

• Events and initiatives

• Strategic partnerships or collaborations

• Industry research, reports, or insights

• Policy, regulatory, or public notices

Content that is primarily promotional or sales-oriented without clear news value may be rejected.

Accuracy and Objectivity

All press releases must be factual and free from misleading, exaggerated, or unverifiable claims. Content should be written in a neutral tone, avoiding hype, speculation, and subjective language. Opinions should be clearly attributed within quotation marks and linked to identifiable spokespersons.

Clarity and Professionalism

Releases must be well-written, clear, and professionally structured. Spelling and grammatical accuracy are prerequisites for publication. We discourage first-person narrative, informal expressions, and direct audience address (e.g., “you should” or “we promise”).

What We Accept

DeccanWire welcomes press releases that meet all of the following conditions:

1. Legitimate Source and Attribution

Every press release must clearly identify the issuing organization and include valid contact information for further media inquiries.

2. Original and Non-Duplicate Content

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere in identical form, whether on other wire services or websites. Duplicate content reduces editorial value and is likely to be rejected.

3. Appropriate Length and Structure

While there is flexibility in length, a press release should typically fall between 300 and 800 words, exclusive of contact information and boilerplate. This ensures readability and compatibility with distribution networks.

4. Clear News Angle

Press releases must convey a clear news angle in the headline and lead paragraph. Releases that read like advertorials, marketing copy, or open letters are not suitable.

5. Factual and Verifiable Claims

Include verifiable facts, data, and timestamps wherever applicable. Unsubstantiated statements or guesses can lead to rejection.

Content and Format Guidelines

To improve the chances of approval, submitters should follow these formatting and stylistic guidelines:

Headline and Summary

• The headline should clearly convey the core news element.

• Include the issuing organization’s name.

• Avoid special characters, clickbait phrases, or non-standard capitalization.

Body Text

• Write in a third-person, objective tone.

• Provide context, background details, and relevant facts.

• Use logical flow with short paragraphs and subheadings if necessary.

Multimedia

Images, logos, or videos may be included where appropriate, but must be relevant to the content and properly licensed. Unsupported file types or embedded video files are not acceptable.

Links

Include only necessary links, such as your official website or product page. Excessive links or link spamming may result in editorial rejection.

Content We Do NOT Accept

DeccanWire does not distribute press releases that include:

• Misleading or False Information

Any content that cannot be substantiated with facts.

• Pure Advertising or Marketing Copy

We are a distribution channel for news content, not a platform for direct advertising.

• Defamatory or Illegal Material

Content that defames, threatens, or encourages illegal activity.

• Obscene or Inappropriate Material

Explicit, violent, or hateful content is strictly prohibited.

• Spam and SEO Manipulation

Releases that attempt to manipulate search rankings or contain excessive keywords and link spam.

• Personal or Private Data

Do not include sensitive personal information without explicit permission.

Review and Approval Process

Editorial Review

Every press release submitted to DeccanWire undergoes editorial review before distribution. Our editorial team evaluates content based on relevance, clarity, compliance with policy, and newsworthiness.

Revisions

If a release requires substantial changes, our editors may request revisions. You will be notified by email with clear instructions on what needs to be amended.

Rejections

If a submission does not meet editorial standards or includes prohibited content, it may be rejected. Decisions are final, though you may submit a revised release after addressing noted issues.

Editorial Integrity and Independence

DeccanWire is committed to impartial editorial practices. We do not guarantee media pickup or publication by external outlets — editorial decisions by third-party media partners are independent of DeccanWire. Our role is to provide syndication infrastructure with professional standards, not to influence media coverage.

We do not endorse or verify the accuracy of claims — the responsibility for submitted content lies with the issuing party.

Updates to This Policy

This Editorial Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in journalistic standards or operational practices. Updates will be published on our website with the revised effective date. Users are encouraged to review this policy regularly.
