News 18 coverage policy

Why we may not cover certain events

Some events will not be covered by News 18, as a matter of general policy.

Two such events are suicides and bomb threats. In both cases, studies have found that broadcasting such events can lead to copycat events and actually amplify the problem.

As with all policies, there are exceptions. Stories will be dealt with on an individual basis.

If you have an event or issue you think News 18 should cover, you can contact us using Report!t on our website or on our smartphone applications.
