CXO TV is committed to delivering accurate, independent, and high-quality journalism to global IT and business leaders. These Editorial Guidelines outline our commitment to truth, fairness, accountability, and transparency in all content we publish—across CXO TV, itVARnews, Health Technologies, BFSI & Fintech, Education Technology, CXOVerse, and all Techplus Media properties.

1. Editorial Mission
Our mission is to deliver trustworthy news, interviews, analysis, and insights on enterprise technology, cloud, cybersecurity, digital transformation, business leadership, and innovation for CXOs across APAC, India, EMEA, and North America.
We strive to uphold:
- Accuracy
- Independence
- Fairness
- Transparency
- Public accountability
2. Editorial Independence
CXO TV maintains a strict separation between editorial and commercial operations.
- Editorial decisions are made independently by editors and journalists.
- Advertisers, sponsors, partners, or clients cannot influence our reporting, headlines, conclusions, or editorial direction.
- Sponsored content is always clearly labeled as:
- “Partner Content”
- “Sponsored Interview”
- “Brand Feature”
- “In Partnership With [Sponsor]”
- Our newsroom does NOT publish paid news disguised as editorial content.
3. Standards of Accuracy & Verification
We commit to ensuring all published content is accurate and well-sourced. We follow these principles:
- Verify facts through multiple sources
- Use primary data, statements, or authoritative references (Gartner, IDC, Statista, official corporate reports)
- Attribute information clearly
- Avoid sensationalism or unverified claims
- Validate quotes with interviewees when necessary
For interviews and CXO insights:
- Statements by leaders/executives reflect their own professional views
- CXO TV does not alter the meaning or context of the speaker’s statements
- Videos may be edited for clarity, but narratives are not changed
4. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Content Production
AI tools may assist with:
- Research synthesis
- Draft structuring
- Transcription
- Headline suggestions
BUT:
- All content is reviewed and approved by a human editor
- We do not publish auto-generated or unverified AI content
- AI is NEVER used to fabricate quotes, events, or people
5. Sourcing & Attribution
- Information must be backed by credible sources (industry research, official releases, interviews)
