Our Core Values
Ad-free
Our stories are created to inform and empower you — not to chase ad-driven clicks. At KalamDawat, our journalism remains free from corporate and government influence, ensuring unbiased reporting. Skip the noise and get straight to the heart of the story with us.
Focus on media
Who holds the media accountable in a democracy? At KalamDawat, we believe that news organizations must uphold the same standards they expect from others — including ourselves. That’s why we critically examine the media through our stories, guided by a commitment to transparency and responsibility.
Substance, not breaking
While many rush to “break” the news, KalamDawat focuses on uncovering the stories behind the headlines. We prioritize in-depth reporting and well-researched ground coverage to provide our readers with meaningful insights that go beyond the surface.
Community, not pageviews
Our community of subscribers means more to us than any numbers or metrics. Their feedback, support, and constructive criticism have shaped our journey — and we credit our growth entirely to their trust and engagement.
Independent, not institutional, view
KalamDawat strives to be an inclusive platform that welcomes diverse opinions and viewpoints, offering a wide range of thoughtful and balanced perspectives to enrich public discourse.
Transparency
Readers deserve full transparency from their news providers. At KalamDawat, our innovations are driven by the active engagement of our subscriber community — from monthly interactive Chatbox sessions to in-person subscriber meet-ups, fostering open dialogue and trust.
Privacy
We prioritize your privacy because every user has the right to understand what data is collected and how it’s utilized. To ensure transparency, we conducted a comprehensive privacy audit and clearly outlined our practices in an easy-to-understand, jargon-free privacy policy.
