At The Dubai Herald, we are committed to delivering accurate, balanced, and trustworthy journalism. Our editorial process is guided by principles of integrity, transparency, independence, and accountability.
This Editorial Policy explains how we create, review, and publish content across our platform.
Our Mission
The Dubai Herald aims to provide reliable coverage of business, startups, technology, finance, luxury, real estate, entrepreneurship, and regional developments across Dubai, the UAE, and international markets.
Our goal is to inform readers with factual reporting while maintaining high editorial standards.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, political organizations, or external stakeholders.
Advertising partnerships and sponsored content do not affect our newsroom’s editorial judgment.
Our editorial team maintains complete independence when selecting, researching, and publishing news stories.
Accuracy & Verification
We strive to ensure that every article published on The Dubai Herald is accurate, well-sourced, and thoroughly reviewed before publication.
Our editorial team verifies information using reliable sources, including:
- Official government announcements
- Company statements and press releases
- Regulatory filings
- Industry reports
- Publicly available records
- Interviews with authorized representatives
- Reputable news agencies and publications
Whenever possible, we seek confirmation from multiple credible sources before publishing factual claims.
Sources
We prioritize information obtained directly from primary sources whenever available.
When reporting on developing stories, we clearly distinguish between confirmed information and ongoing developments.
If information cannot be independently verified at the time of publication, we make that clear within the article.
Sponsored Content & Press Releases
The Dubai Herald publishes sponsored articles, branded content, and press releases submitted by businesses, organizations, and PR agencies.
To maintain transparency:
- Sponsored content is clearly identified.
- Press releases are published separately from editorial news.
- Sponsored content does not influence our editorial reporting.
- Editorial coverage is never guaranteed through advertising or paid partnerships.
Press releases may be edited for grammar, formatting, and clarity without changing their intended meaning.

These articles do not necessarily represent the editorial position of The Dubai Herald.

If an error is identified after publication, we review the issue promptly.
When necessary, we:
- Correct factual inaccuracies.

Readers are encouraged to report potential errors through our Contact page.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
The Dubai Herald may use AI-powered tools to assist with research, transcription, translation, formatting, or workflow efficiency.
