Reader-First Publishing
Dhaka City publishes content for people who need practical local information. Our articles should help readers compare options, understand tradeoffs, find next steps, and avoid confusion. We avoid creating pages only to target search terms. A page should have a clear purpose, useful details, and enough context to stand on its own.
Helpful content for Dhaka readers often includes addresses, neighborhoods, price ranges, timing notes, route context, service categories, reader cautions, update notes, and links to related internal articles. When a subject is sensitive or likely to change, we use careful language and encourage direct confirmation.
Research and Fact Checking
Research may include public sources, official websites, business pages, direct contact details, field knowledge, reader submissions, and editorial comparison. Before publication, content should be checked for obvious factual issues, broken logic, unsafe claims, misleading wording, and missing reader context. Where possible, editors compare claims across more than one source or identify the point that needs direct verification by the reader.
We treat prices, opening hours, routes, availability, and policy details as time-sensitive. These details may be accurate at the time of writing but can change without notice. Articles should avoid promising exact outcomes unless the information comes from a reliable and current source.
Corrections Process
Readers, businesses, and subject-matter representatives can request corrections through the contact page. A useful correction request should include the article URL, the exact detail that may be wrong, the corrected information, and a supporting source when available. We review requests for accuracy and reader relevance before making changes.
Corrections may include changing a factual statement, clarifying wording, updating a price range, removing an outdated claim, adding a note, or replacing a broken link. We do not guarantee that every requested change will be made, especially if the request is promotional, unsupported, misleading, or not relevant to readers.
Review and Updates
Content should be reviewed when it becomes outdated, receives credible correction feedback, loses usefulness, covers a changed service, or affects reader trust. Updates should improve the page in a meaningful way. Changing a date without checking substance is not enough.
When updating, editors may refresh facts, add new context, improve headings, clarify limitations, add internal links, remove thin sections, or rewrite parts that no longer meet our standards. We also consider whether a page should be merged, redirected, or removed if it no longer serves readers.
Advertising Independence
Advertising supports the website, but advertisers should not control independent editorial conclusions. Sponsored ads and direct advertising placements should be separated from editorial content and labeled where appropriate. If a commercial relationship affects how content is presented, we aim to disclose it in a way readers can understand.
AI Assistance Disclosure
Dhaka City may use software tools, including AI-assisted drafting, editing, summarization, research organization, grammar review, or quality checks. AI assistance does not replace editorial responsibility. Human review is expected before publication, especially for factual claims, local details, safety-sensitive topics, health, finance, legal references, and business information.
We do not knowingly publish AI-generated content that has not been reviewed for usefulness, accuracy, originality, and reader value. If AI assistance is used, the goal should be to improve clarity and production quality, not to create unsupported claims or mass-produce low-value pages.
Conflicts, Sources, and Reader Feedback
Editors and contributors should avoid conflicts that could mislead readers. If a contributor has a direct relationship with a business or topic, that relationship should be considered during review. Reader feedback is welcome because it helps identify outdated details and overlooked questions. The final editorial decision remains with Dhaka City.
Sensitive Topics
Some topics require extra care because readers may rely on them for health, safety, money, travel, or legal decisions. When we cover hospitals, medical services, medicine availability, finance-related costs, official procedures, or safety issues, articles should avoid personal professional advice and should direct readers to qualified professionals or official sources where appropriate.
Editors should check whether the content could create false certainty. If a price is approximate, it should be described as a range or estimate. If a service requires confirmation, the article should say so. If a topic has legal, medical, or financial implications, we should avoid implying that a general article can replace professional judgment.
Originality and Reuse
Dhaka City should not copy articles from other websites or publish lightly rewritten versions of existing pages. Research can rely on public information, but the final article should add original organization, local context, comparison, explanation, or editorial judgment. When an official source is the best authority, we should summarize carefully and point readers toward direct verification.
Images, quotes, maps, and third-party materials should be used only when we have permission, a license, a public embed right, or another lawful basis. Attribution should be clear when required. We should not use a person's private information, image, or claim in a misleading way.
Quality Review Checklist
Before publication or major update, an article should answer a clear reader question, include a useful introduction, use descriptive headings, avoid unsupported claims, explain limitations, link to relevant internal pages where helpful, and avoid excessive promotional language. The page should have a unique SEO title, meta description, canonical URL, and appropriate structured data when the page type supports it.
