Waqya publishes original commentary and analysis on news events. We are not a wire service and we do not republish press releases verbatim. Every piece should help a reader understand what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.
Original analysis, not copy-paste
Facts tied to named sources
Low-quality drafts are held, not published
What we publish
Our desks cover regions and topics — Middle East, South Asia, technology, markets, conflict, health, and more. Articles are written for readers who want context and stakes, not just the latest headline.
- Commentary and analysis on verified news events
- Clear attribution for facts, quotes, and figures
- Editorial voice — we take a point of view while staying fair to evidence
What we do not publish
- Unverified rumours, fabricated quotes, or invented statistics
- Wire stories copied or lightly rewritten from other outlets
- Content designed to mislead, harass, or target private individuals without public interest
Automation with standards
Research and drafting may use automation under editorial rules. Stories below our quality threshold stay as drafts until they meet our bar — they are not published by default.
Sourcing
Facts come from reputable public sources (agencies, established publishers, official statements). We link to the originating report at the end of each article. When a claim cannot be verified, we do not state it as fact.
Independence
Waqya does not accept payment for coverage. Sponsored or partner content, if ever introduced, will be clearly labelled and separated from news commentary.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly. Material changes are noted on the article. See our Corrections page for how to report an error.
