Editorial Standards
The audience deserves verifiable information, clear attribution and visible corrections.
Verification
Every factual claim should be traceable to reliable evidence. Primary sources are preferred where appropriate. For disputed claims, review independently sourced evidence and represent meaningful uncertainty.
Editorial independence
Advertisers do not direct reporting. Sponsored material must be conspicuously labeled, distinct from newsroom articles, and disclosed wherever it appears.
Accuracy and corrections
Dates, names, figures, quotations, headlines and context should be checked before publication. Material errors are corrected promptly with an appropriate dated note.
AI use
Software may assist with organization and proofreading but cannot independently confirm facts. We will not invent reporting, sources, quotes or interviews and present them as real.
Copyright and imagery
Use original, public-domain or appropriately licensed media. Attribution does not automatically grant permission to reuse copyrighted images or articles.
