The essentials
Our editorial standards.
These standards guide publication. They also make our limitations easier to understand.
Evidence within reach
Coverage links to its sources. Official releases, public records and datasets are starting points, not proof of every interpretation. We distinguish a source’s statements from our explanation.
Visuals with a purpose
Outside images need appropriate usage rights and credits. Illustrative photographs, original graphics and generated illustrations are identified. A conceptual image is not evidence of a real event.
Dates that mean something
Article dates describe publication. Source dates describe the underlying material. A routine source check does not make an old story new. Data needs a period, geography, unit and identifiable source.
Before we publish.
Collect
Find relevant source material and check for duplicates.
Verify
Check claims against the full source and identify missing context.
Explain
Write an original briefing with attribution and clear limitations.
Publish responsibly
Withhold unsuitable drafts. Correct material errors visibly.
Source checks do not guarantee a new article. Unsupported claims, duplicate material and unresolved conflicts should not be published to meet a target.
Honest about the processTools assist.
Tools assist.
Limits still matter.
AI assistance, disclosed
AI can assist drafting and checking. Automated checks can miss errors. We do not claim a journalist attended an event, interviewed a source or reviewed a story unless that work occurred. Rule-based release guides are labelled.
Care with sensitive subjects
We avoid invented quotations, unsupported predictions and promises of investment returns. Health, legal and financial explanations offer general background, not individual professional advice. Serious allegations and unresolved conflicts require additional review.
Help keep the record clear
Request a correction Something needs a second look?
Material errors should be corrected visibly, with an explanation of what changed. Submit an article-specific request to the owner’s review queue. No email address is required; no response time is promised.
Standards updated October 28, 2026. Automatic article publishing is disabled. New articles are published only on an explicit owner request, after source checks.
