Editorial Standards

At My Dubai Today, we are dedicated to delivering accurate, timely, and relevant news for residents and visitors in the United Arab Emirates. Our editorial team adheres to strict guidelines to ensure our reporting is trustworthy and objective.

1. Ethics Policy

Our reporting follows principles of integrity and independence. We aim to offer a fair and balanced perspective on all news events.

  • Objectivity: We report the facts as they are, without bias or political influence.
  • Compliance: We adhere to the media regulations set forth by the UAE Media Council.
  • Integrity: We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable news coverage.

2. Fact-Checking Policy

Accuracy is our primary goal. Every piece of information published by My Dubai Today undergoes a verification process:

  • Official Sources: We prioritize data from official government channels, including WAM (Emirates News Agency), Dubai Police, the RTA, and federal ministries.
  • AI-Assisted Verification: While we use advanced AI to assist in news desk operations, all data is cross-referenced against live web search context to ensure figures, dates, and fees are current (2026).
  • Primary Documentation: We review official decrees and regulatory documents before summarizing policy changes for our readers.

3. Corrections Policy

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. When we identify a factual mistake, we remain committed to transparency.

  • Speed: We correct errors as soon as they are identified.
  • Clarity: Articles that have been significantly updated with corrected information will include a “Correction” or “Update” note clearly stating the change.
  • Reporting: Readers are encouraged to report potential errors to our editorial team at editor@mydubaitoday.com.

4. Sourcing Policy

We believe our readers deserve to know where our information comes from.

  • Attribution: We clearly attribute all information to the original source or official entity.
  • Direct Quotes: We use direct quotes from officials and royals as provided by verified social accounts or official press releases.
  • Link Integrity: Where possible, we provide links to official portals (such as ICP, MoHRE, or RTA) to help readers take direct action.

5. Verification & Reporting Standards

Our “News Desk” model simplifies complex information into actionable insights. We avoid “clickbait” and sensationalism. Our reporting prioritizes utility, aiding the Dubai and UAE community in confidently understanding the city’s rapid growth and changing regulations.
