At BigShor, diversity and inclusion are essential to responsible journalism and creative storytelling. This policy outlines how we approach diversity in our editorial content, coverage, and storytelling, across both news and entertainment.

This policy aligns with global media best practices and Google News diversity and transparency expectations.

Our Commitment to Diversity

BigShor is committed to:

  • Representing diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences
  • Avoiding bias, stereotypes, and exclusion in content
  • Reflecting the realities of a global and multicultural audience
  • Promoting inclusive and respectful storytelling

We believe diversity strengthens credibility, relevance, and public trust.

Diversity in Editorial Coverage

We strive to ensure that our editorial coverage:

  • Includes voices from different backgrounds, regions, and communities
  • Represents a broad range of industries, professions, and viewpoints
  • Covers underrepresented founders, creators, and innovators where relevant
  • Avoids one-dimensional or harmful portrayals

Editorial decisions are based on news value, relevance, and merit, not identity alone.

Fair Representation & Language

BigShor is mindful of how language and imagery are used:

  • We use inclusive, respectful, and accurate language
  • We avoid discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning terms
  • We review headlines, visuals, and captions for bias or misrepresentation

When reporting on sensitive issues, additional editorial care is applied.

Diversity in Sources & Contributors

We aim to:

  • Seek a wide range of sources and expert voices
  • Encourage diverse contributors, creators, and commentators
  • Avoid over-reliance on a single perspective

Anonymous sources are used responsibly and only when necessary.

  • Hate speech or incitement to violence
  • Content that promotes discrimination or exclusion
  • Harassment or targeting of individuals or groups

Such content is reviewed, corrected, or removed where appropriate.

Editorial Oversight

Diversity considerations are part of our editorial review process:

  • Editors assess content for fairness and balance
