Editorial Policy

NRI CONNECT TV

EDITORIAL POLICY

Effective Date: August 15, 2026
Last Updated: August 15, 2026

This Editorial Policy (“Policy”) establishes editorial standards governing the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative AI, automated systems, and related technologies in the newsroom and publishing operations of NRICONNECTTV company doing business as NRI Connect TV (“NRI Connect TV,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

This Policy applies to individuals producing or reviewing editorial content for NRI Connect TV, including:

editors;
contributors;
producers;
writers;
researchers;
photographers;
videographers;
social-media personnel;
contractors;
volunteers;
freelance contributors;
production personnel;
other authorized content creators.

This Policy should be read together with NRI Connect TV’s:

Terms of Service;
Privacy Policy;
Copyright Policy;
AI Content Policy;
Corrections Policy;
Advertising & Sponsorship Policy;
Contributor/Media Agreements;
other newsroom standards.

Nothing in this Policy creates a contractual guarantee of error-free journalism or mandatory review procedures beyond those required by applicable law.

NRI Connect TV expressly reserves all lawful:

editorial discretion;
First Amendment protections;
journalistic privileges;
fair-use rights;
copyright defenses;
statutory exemptions;
contractual rights;
litigation defenses.

PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

Artificial intelligence can improve newsroom efficiency but can also introduce:

hallucinated facts;
fabricated sources;
inaccurate quotations;
outdated information;
misleading summaries;
bias;
copyright concerns;
privacy issues;
defamation risk;
synthetic-media confusion.

This Policy establishes safeguards intended to reduce those risks while allowing NRI Connect TV to use modern technology efficiently.

AI MAY ASSIST – IT DOES NOT CONTROL EDITORIAL JUDGMENT

Artificial intelligence may assist editorial work.

It does not independently determine:

what NRI Connect TV must publish;
which stories NRI Connect TV must cover;
whether a source is credible;
whether an allegation is sufficiently verified;
whether an article is legally safe;
whether a correction is required.

Final editorial authority remains with NRI Connect TV.

NO GUARANTEE OF HUMAN AUTHORSHIP OF EVERY WORD

NRI Connect TV may use AI extensively in its editorial workflow.

Accordingly, NRI Connect TV does not represent or guarantee that every:

sentence;
headline;
summary;
caption;
transcription;
social-media post;
translation;
graphic;
image;

was independently written from scratch by a human.

AI assistance may include drafting, rewriting, summarizing, structuring, editing, transcription, translation, SEO, and production.

However, material AI involvement does not eliminate NRI Connect TV’s editorial authority over the published work.

PERMITTED EDITORIAL USES OF AI

AI may assist with:

story discovery;
monitoring official sources;
research organization;
summarization;
document comparison;
extracting dates and figures;
preparing timelines;
drafting articles;
rewriting;
headline development;
SEO;
metadata;
captions;
social copy;
video scripts;
transcription;
translation;
image generation;
graphics;
thumbnail creation;
identifying follow-up questions;
fact-checking support;
source organization.

SOURCE-FIRST JOURNALISM

AI should generally function as a research and production tool, not the underlying authority for a material factual claim.

For significant factual reporting, NRI Connect TV should prefer identifiable sources such as:

Tier 1 Primary Sources

government agencies;
statutes and regulations;
Federal Register notices;
court documents;
regulatory filings;
official company filings;
official press releases;
authenticated public statements;
original interviews;
government databases.

Tier 2 High-Quality Secondary Sources

established news organizations;
recognized research institutions;
universities;
reputable professional organizations;
credible industry publications.

Tier 3 Discovery Sources

RSS feeds;
social media;
aggregators;
forums;
AI search;
search-engine results;
community tips.

Tier 3 information generally should not be treated as sufficient verification by itself for consequential factual claims.

AI IS NOT A SOURCE

A generative AI system should not be cited internally or publicly as authoritative evidence for a factual statement merely because the model produced the statement.

SOURCE LINKS SHOULD BE PRESERVED

For significant stories, editors or production systems should, when reasonably practicable, retain links or records identifying the principal sources supporting the story.

This may include:

source URL;
agency;
publication date;
access date;
official document;
press release.

This helps support:

corrections;
legal review;
copyright disputes;
source verification;
editorial accountability.

HIGH-RISK STORY CLASSIFICATION

NRI Connect TV should apply heightened review to stories that can materially affect a reader’s:

immigration status;
financial decisions;
taxes;
legal rights;
employment;
health;
safety.

These include:

RED CATEGORY

immigration;
USCIS/DOS/DOL announcements;
taxes;
investments;
securities;
banking rules;
insurance;
legal developments;
medical or health information;
government deadlines;
criminal allegations;
professional misconduct;
elections or voting rules.

For RED-category stories, significant claims should ordinarily be checked against authoritative or primary sources before publication where reasonably practicable.

MEDIUM-RISK STORIES

YELLOW CATEGORY

Examples:

careers;
business developments;
education;
technology;
company news;
community developments;
real estate;
travel regulations.

AI assistance may be more extensive, but important factual claims should still receive reasonable verification.

LOWER-RISK CONTENT

GREEN CATEGORY

Examples:

lifestyle features;
cultural explainers;
general educational content;
inspirational stories;
entertainment;
social-media captions;
SEO descriptions;
creative scripts.

AI may play a greater role, subject to copyright, privacy, accuracy, and brand standards.

BREAKING NEWS

Speed does not eliminate accuracy obligations.

During breaking news:

clearly distinguish confirmed facts from preliminary information;
avoid presenting rumors as established fact;
identify developing information where appropriate;
update stories as authoritative information becomes available.

AI-GENERATED CLAIMS MUST NOT BE ASSUMED TRUE

AI may confidently state false information.

Editors and contributors should be alert to fabricated:

dates;
regulations;
court cases;
statistics;
company announcements;
government actions;
quotations;
citations.

Confidence of wording is not evidence of accuracy.

NO FABRICATED SOURCES

NRI Connect TV prohibits knowingly publishing fictional sources as genuine.

AI must not be allowed to create fake:

experts;
organizations;
studies;
government agencies;
reports;
court decisions;
websites;
press releases.

NO FABRICATED QUOTATIONS

A quotation attributed to a real person should have a verifiable basis.

Acceptable sources may include:

original recordings;
interview transcripts;
official speeches;
official statements;
authenticated publications.

AI-generated wording must not be converted into a quotation attributed to a real person.

PARAPHRASING

AI may assist with paraphrasing.

However, paraphrasing must not:

materially change meaning;
falsely strengthen a statement;
transform speculation into certainty;
distort a source’s position.

Paraphrased text should not appear inside quotation marks.

STATISTICS AND NUMBERS

AI-generated:

statistics;
percentages;
financial figures;
immigration counts;
market figures;
scientific measurements

should receive particular scrutiny.

Whenever a number is significant to a story, editors should attempt to identify its original source.

DATES AND DEADLINES

Dates are frequently consequential.

AI-assisted stories involving:

filing deadlines;
immigration registration periods;
tax deadlines;
application windows;
court deadlines;
government effective dates

should verify the actual date using an authoritative source.

DISTINGUISH PROPOSALS FROM FINAL RULES

NRI Connect TV should clearly differentiate:

proposed legislation from enacted law;
proposed regulations from final regulations;
rumors from announced policy;
agency guidance from statutory requirements;
lawsuits from judgments;
allegations from findings.

AI-generated summaries can blur these distinctions.

Editors should not.

IMMIGRATION EDITORIAL STANDARD

Immigration reporting should ordinarily identify, where relevant:

issuing agency;
date of announcement;
affected visa/category;
effective date;
applicable filing period;
whether the change is final or proposed;
official source.

when the underlying document merely proposes a future change.

FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENT REPORTING

NRI Connect TV should distinguish clearly between:

factual market reporting;
analyst opinions;
company guidance;
forecasts;
speculation;
investment recommendations.

AI-generated predictions should not be presented as certainty.

TAX REPORTING

Tax stories should identify whether information comes from:

IRS;
Treasury;
enacted legislation;
regulations;
official guidance.

Readers should be reminded where appropriate that individual tax consequences vary.

HEALTH INFORMATION

AI may assist with health and lifestyle content, but medical claims should receive reasonable verification.

Avoid publishing AI-generated diagnoses or treatment instructions as individualized medical advice.

CRIMINAL AND MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS

Stories alleging:

crimes;
fraud;
corruption;
harassment;
professional misconduct;
unethical conduct

present elevated defamation risk.

AI should never be the sole basis for publishing such allegations.

Editors should seek:

reliable documentation;
official filings;
court records;
attributable sources;
appropriate response from the subject where practicable.

ALLEGATION LANGUAGE

When a matter has not been adjudicated, use language that accurately reflects its status.

RIGHT OF RESPONSE

For serious allegations against identifiable persons or organizations, NRI Connect TV may make reasonable efforts to obtain a response before publication where practical and editorially appropriate.

Failure of a subject to respond does not necessarily prevent publication.

AI AND DEFAMATION REVIEW

Before publishing damaging information created or summarized through AI, editors should consider:

Who is being identified?
Is the allegation factual or opinion?
What primary evidence supports it?
Has AI materially changed the meaning?
Are we accurately describing procedural status?
Should the subject be contacted?

COPYRIGHT AND AI RESEARCH

AI does not make copyrighted material free to use.

Content discovered through AI should still be reviewed for:

ownership;
license;
fair use;
public-domain status;
applicable publisher terms.

COPYING FROM OTHER PUBLISHERS

AI may summarize another publisher’s reporting for research.

Instead, use third-party reporting to identify relevant facts, verify those facts through appropriate sources, and create original NRI Connect TV coverage.

FAIR USE

NRI Connect TV may rely on fair use when legally appropriate.

AI tools should not independently determine that use is fair.

Fair-use decisions may consider:

purpose;
nature;
amount used;
market effect;
transformation;
context.

AI-GENERATED IMAGES

AI-generated editorial imagery may be used.

For genuine news reporting, editors should distinguish between:

Documentary image

Actual image from the real event.

Illustrative image

Conceptual or representative visual.

AI-generated illustration

Synthetic image created using generative technology.

When a realistic synthetic image could reasonably be mistaken for a real photograph, labeling is strongly recommended.

DO NOT FABRICATE NEWS EVENTS VISUALLY

AI should not knowingly depict a real person:

being arrested;
committing a crime;
meeting another person;
speaking at an event;
participating in a protest;
suffering an injury;

and present the synthetic image as documentary evidence if the depicted event did not occur.

THUMBNAILS

Thumbnails may be dramatic and attention-grabbing.

They should not materially misrepresent the underlying story.

Avoid synthetic thumbnails implying:

an arrest that never occurred;
a government announcement that was never made;
endorsement by a public figure;
fabricated confrontation.

ALTERED PHOTOGRAPHS

AI may assist with ordinary image production functions such as:

resizing;
sharpening;
background cleanup;
exposure correction.

Material alterations affecting journalistic meaning should receive greater scrutiny.

Do not remove or add substantive elements in a manner that falsely changes what happened in a documentary photograph.

DIGITAL REPLICAS

Synthetic versions of identifiable people should be handled carefully.

NRI Connect TV should consider:

right-of-publicity law;
false endorsement;
defamation;
privacy;
platform policies;
disclosure.

The Copyright Office has specifically identified digital replicas as a significant AI policy area. U.S. Copyright Office

AI VOICES

AI-generated narration may be used.

Do not knowingly imitate a real person’s recognizable voice in a deceptive manner that falsely implies:

participation;
endorsement;
authorship.

TRANSLATION

AI translation is permitted.

For legally consequential quotations or statements, important translated language should receive reasonable review where practicable.

TRANSCRIPTION

AI-generated transcripts are working materials.

Before publishing an exact quotation based on automated transcription, editors should check the source recording when the wording is materially important.

HEADLINES

AI may generate headline options.

Headlines should not:

state speculation as fact;
materially exaggerate;
distort the article;
omit critical qualifications.

The headline must be supported by the story.

CLICKBAIT

NRI Connect TV may use engaging headlines.

Engagement does not justify deception.

AI DISCLOSURES

NRI Connect TV does not promise to disclose every use of AI.

Disclosure may be appropriate when AI materially affects the audience’s understanding of how the content was created.

Examples include:

AI-Generated Illustration

AI-Assisted Translation

AI-Generated Reconstruction

Routine AI assistance such as:

spell checking;
grammar;
SEO;
headline suggestions;
transcription;
formatting;

may not receive separate disclosure.

HUMAN REVIEW DOES NOT MEAN GUARANTEED ACCURACY

The phrase “human reviewed” should not be understood as a warranty that content is perfect.

Human reviewers can make mistakes.

NRI Connect TV reserves the right to correct content after publication.

CORRECTIONS

If an AI-assisted story contains a material factual error, NRI Connect TV may:

correct it;
update it;
append a correction;
replace content;
remove content.

The applicable response depends on the significance of the error.

CORRECTION DOES NOT EQUAL LIABILITY

The correction of an article does not constitute an admission of:

negligence;
defamation;
infringement;
misconduct;
legal liability.

Corrections are part of responsible editorial operations.

ARCHIVING

NRI Connect TV may retain:

original articles;
corrected versions;
publication history;
source records;
AI drafts;
screenshots;
research notes

for archival, legal, editorial, or compliance purposes.

CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES AND AI

Editors should not place confidential source identities or sensitive source materials into third-party AI systems without appropriate authorization.

AI convenience does not override source protection.

PERSONAL DATA

Contributors should avoid entering unnecessary sensitive personal information into AI platforms.

Examples include:

passport information;
Social Security numbers;
immigration receipt numbers;
bank credentials;
confidential medical records;
private phone numbers.

MINORS

AI-assisted coverage involving minors requires heightened care.

Editors should consider:

privacy;
parental permission;
safety;
identification;
synthetic imagery;
exploitation risk.

USER-SUBMITTED CONTENT

AI may assist in moderating or reviewing:

comments;
tips;
submissions.

Automated moderation decisions may be incorrect.

NRI Connect TV reserves discretion to:

restore;
remove;
restrict;
edit;
investigate

submitted content.

SPONSORED CONTENT

AI may assist with sponsored content.

Sponsored content remains subject to the Advertising & Sponsorship Policy.

AI cannot be used to conceal the fact that content is paid advertising.

ADVERTISER-SUPPLIED FACTS

Advertisers remain responsible for factual claims they provide or approve.

NRI Connect TV may require substantiation for high-risk advertising claims.

AI-GENERATED TESTIMONIALS

NRI Connect TV should not knowingly present fabricated AI testimonials as genuine experiences of real customers.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

AI tools may recommend stories or entities based on algorithmic patterns.

AI recommendations do not override NRI Connect TV’s conflict-of-interest standards.

EDITORIAL PRIORITIZATION

NRI Connect TV may use AI to rank or identify potentially relevant stories.

Selection of stories remains an editorial decision.

AI-generated ranking does not establish:

importance;
truth;
endorsement.

POLITICAL CONTENT

Where NRI Connect TV publishes political or election-related factual reporting, synthetic media should receive heightened review.

NRI Connect TV should avoid deceptive synthetic content that could falsely represent:

candidates;
voting procedures;
election results;
public statements.

RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL CONTENT

AI-assisted material concerning religion or culture should avoid fabricated:

scriptures;
quotations;
rituals;
historical claims.

Where exact religious text is important, authoritative sources should be used.

CONTRIBUTOR DISCLOSURE TO EDITORS

Contributors may be required internally to disclose material AI use when:

significant portions were generated;
synthetic media was created;
AI-generated sources were initially used;
AI altered a documentary image;
synthetic voices or likenesses were used.

Internal disclosure does not necessarily require public disclosure.

CONTRIBUTOR RESPONSIBILITY

Contributors remain responsible for compliance with NRI Connect TV policies regardless of whether AI produced the material.

“AI generated it” is not an excuse for:

plagiarism;
fabrication;
copyright infringement;
defamation;
privacy violations.

EDITORIAL ESCALATION

Editors should consider escalation to senior editorial or legal review before publication when a story involves:

serious accusations;
leaked confidential information;
copyrighted material used extensively;
undercover recording;
private individuals in sensitive circumstances;
minors;
medical claims;
material synthetic depictions;
significant legal uncertainty.

PRE-PUBLICATION LEGAL REVIEW

NRI Connect TV may seek legal review where appropriate.

This Policy does not require legal review of every story.

Failure to obtain legal review does not, by itself, establish negligence or liability.

SOURCE PROVENANCE RECORD

For high-risk articles, an internal record may include:

Story:
Primary source:
URL:
Source date:
Verified on:
Material facts checked:
Reviewer:
AI tools used:
Publication date/time:

These records are internal and need not be publicly disclosed unless required by law.

INTERNAL EDITORIAL MATERIALS

NRI Connect TV’s internal materials may include:

prompts;
source notes;
drafts;
editing comments;
internal chats;
AI workflows;
legal review;
editorial deliberations.

Nothing in this Policy grants users a contractual right to obtain those materials.

PROPRIETARY AI WORKFLOWS

NRI Connect TV may develop proprietary:

prompts;
workflows;
source-ranking systems;
automated agents;
verification systems.

Such systems may constitute confidential business information.

NO WARRANTY OF SOURCE COMPLETENESS

Even where NRI Connect TV reviews authoritative sources, we do not guarantee that:

every source has been discovered;
every authority agrees;
every government page is current;
a rule will not change after publication.

Journalism necessarily reflects information available at the time of publication.

NO DUTY TO UPDATE EVERY HISTORICAL STORY

NRI Connect TV may update older content, but unless required by law, does not undertake a contractual obligation to continuously revise every historical article after laws, prices, policies, or facts change.

Publication dates should therefore be considered when relying on content.

NO GUARANTEED PUBLICATION

AI-generated or contributor-submitted material may be:

rejected;
rewritten;
delayed;
removed.

Submission does not guarantee publication.

EDITORIAL REMOVAL RIGHTS

NRI Connect TV may remove content for any legitimate editorial, legal, safety, operational, or reputational reason.

Removal does not constitute an admission that the original publication was unlawful.

AI PLATFORM FAILURES

Third-party AI platforms can experience:

outages;
errors;
data loss;
inaccurate results;
changes in functionality.

NRI Connect TV does not warrant continued availability or performance of external AI vendors.

MODEL BIAS AND LIMITATIONS

AI models may reflect:

incomplete data;
historical bias;
geographic bias;
language bias.

Editors should consider these limitations where relevant.

NRI Connect TV does not warrant that every AI output is perfectly neutral or unbiased.

COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP

The use of AI does not automatically place an entire NRI Connect TV work in the public domain.

The Copyright Office states that human-authored expression, selection, arrangement, and sufficiently creative modifications in AI-assisted works may remain protectable even where some AI-generated material is involved. U.S. Copyright Office

NRI Connect TV reserves all copyright rights it lawfully possesses.

CHANGES TO EDITORIAL AI PRACTICES

AI technology changes rapidly.

NRI Connect TV may change:

approved tools;
verification standards;
disclosure practices;
workflows;
risk classifications

without advance notice, subject to applicable law.

NO CONTRACTUAL GUARANTEE CREATED

This Policy describes internal editorial principles and public standards.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, it does not create an independent contractual cause of action merely because a user believes an internal guideline was not followed in a particular instance.

This is an important company-protection provision.
