Editorial Policies and Transparency

How we select, verify and correct the news, and how you can reach us when something goes wrong.

Who we are

ORA NEWS is an Albanian news television channel focused on breaking news, live reporting and real-time information. Our aim is to provide the public with fast, accurate and reliable information.

Editorial policy

News is selected according to its timeliness, relevance and public interest. ORA NEWS respects editorial independence, impartiality, pluralism and individual rights. Facts are kept distinct from opinion, and advertising and sponsored content are clearly identified.

Verifying information

Journalists and editors verify news through reliable sources, documents and independent confirmation, wherever possible. In breaking news we distinguish confirmed information from preliminary reports and update our coverage as events develop. Photos, videos and social media material are checked for authenticity and context; confidential sources are protected in line with professional standards.

Moderating digital content

ORA NEWS welcomes debate and criticism on its platforms. Comments containing threats, incitement to violence or hatred, discrimination, privacy violations, scams or illegal content may be restricted. Material submitted by members of the public is verified before being published as factual information.

Corrections and updates

When factual errors are identified, ORA NEWS corrects them clearly and promptly. Significant corrections online carry an explanatory note; on television, appropriate clarifications are broadcast. Updates on developing stories are kept distinct from corrections of inaccuracies.

Complaints and the right of reply

The public may submit comments, complaints, requests for correction and requests to exercise the right of reply. These are reviewed in accordance with ORA NEWS procedures and applicable law.
