We have put together answers to the questions we hear most often from readers, contributors, and advertisers. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, our team is happy to help directly.
Ferox Times is an independent digital news platform based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. We publish original reporting and curated coverage across national and international news, business, technology, sports, and entertainment. Our newsroom operates on a single principle: every story that reaches our readers has been verified and reviewed by an editor before it is published.
We are not affiliated with any political party, government body, or corporate group. Our journalism is funded through contextual advertising, which means our editorial decisions are made entirely by our editorial team — not by advertisers or sponsors.
Our editorial desk is active throughout the day. Breaking news is published as events develop, often within minutes of confirmed reports. Feature articles, analysis pieces, and in-depth reports are typically published during our morning and evening editorial cycles. We do not publish unverified breaking news simply to be first — accuracy takes priority over speed.
Yes, entirely. There is no paywall, no subscription fee, and no premium tier. Every article on Ferox Times is freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. We believe access to accurate, reliable news should not depend on a reader's ability to pay. Our costs are covered through contextual advertising displayed on our pages.
Yes. Our registered office is located at Jayanagar 2nd Block, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. For all communications, we recommend reaching out via email at [email protected] as it ensures a faster response from the right team member.
Creating a free account gives you access to features that make the reading experience better. Registered users can bookmark articles to read later, manage their newsletter preferences, participate in daily polls, and join discussions by commenting on articles. You do not need an account to read any of our content.
Click the Register button in the top-right corner of any page on our website. You will be asked for your name, a valid email address, and a password. After you submit the form, we will send a verification email to the address you provided. Click the link in that email to confirm your account and you are ready to go.
If the verification email does not arrive within a few minutes, please check your spam or junk folder. If it is not there either, contact us at [email protected] and we will sort it out.
Visit the Forgot Password page and enter the email address associated with your account. We will send you a password reset link. The link is valid for 30 minutes. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or contact our support team.
To unsubscribe, simply click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any newsletter email we have sent you. This will take you to our dedicated Unsubscribe page where your email will be removed from our mailing list immediately. You do not need to log into your account to do this.
You can permanently delete your account directly from your Profile Settings page by clicking the "Delete Account" button at the bottom. Alternatively, you can send an email to [email protected] with the subject line Account Deletion Request from your registered email address.
We have a firm corrections policy. If you spot a factual error in any Ferox Times article, please contact us via our Contact page or email [email protected] with the subject line Correction Request. Include the article URL and as much detail as possible about the error and the correct information.
Our editorial team will review the submission. If the correction is valid, we will update the article and append a visible correction notice at the bottom of the piece. We do not silently delete errors — corrections are acknowledged publicly.
Yes. We welcome applications from independent journalists, policy experts, academics, and community voices through our Independent Writer Programme. To apply, visit our Careers page and submit your application with a brief cover letter and links to your previous published work.
Once approved, contributors can submit articles for editorial review. Every submission must include supporting evidence documents — an official report, a press release, a court filing, or similar. Articles without evidence are returned automatically. Please read our full Editorial Guidelines before applying.
Standard news articles submitted by Independent Writers are typically reviewed within 24 to 72 hours. Investigative pieces, articles involving sensitive legal or political subjects, or submissions requiring additional evidence verification may take longer. Our editorial team will contact you if your article needs clarification before a decision is made.
Yes. You can submit a news tip using our Contact form without identifying yourself. However, please understand that anonymous tips without any verifiable supporting information are difficult for our editorial team to act on. Where possible, include a document, a link, or enough context for our editors to begin their own verification process. We treat all tips — anonymous or otherwise — with strict confidentiality.
