The Oniket Bulletin is guided by a clearly defined editorial charter, which establishes the foundational values and operational commitments that govern its publication activities. These principles are as follows:
- Knowledge-Based Public Discourse: To inform public debate through responsible, ethical, and evidence-based journalism, with sustained attention to the short, medium, and long-term policy and reform challenges facing Bangladesh.
- Knowledge Mobilisation: To engage and draw upon the expertise of researchers, professionals, industry specialists, and academics, thereby providing the public with clarity and informed insight into Bangladesh’s most pertinent policy challenges.
- Open Collaborative Platform: To cultivate an open and inclusive platform through which individuals from across the world may share best practices and engage collaboratively in the development of intelligent, sustainable solutions to Bangladesh’s critical policy challenges.
- Editorial Independence: To maintain a fact-based and editorially independent forum, operating free from commercial or political bias.
- Academic Freedom: To uphold and promote academic freedom, enabling researchers, educators, and scholars to conduct research, teach, write, and publish on policy debates, challenges, and dialogues relevant to Bangladesh.
- Non-Partisan Sponsorship: To preserve the integrity of the publication by accepting only non-Partisan sponsorship from educational, governmental, and private partners. Any advertising carried shall remain relevant and non-intrusive.
- Commercial Independence: To safeguard editorial freedom in all commercial arrangements and agreements.
- Accessibility and Quality: To ensure that high-quality, diverse, and intelligible content reaches the widest possible readership through the engagement of experienced editors and the publication of all content bilingually, in both English and Bangla.
- Best Journalistic Practice: To set and uphold the highest standards of journalistic practice, maintaining a commitment to openness, transparency, and accountability. Where errors occur, corrections shall be made expeditiously.
- Institutional Collaboration: To work in close partnership with academic, business, and governmental partners, as well as the Advisory Board, to ensure that the Bulletin continues to operate in public interest.
