We are committed to publishing accurate, fair, and timely journalism. Our editorial decisions are guided by public interest, relevance, and verifiable news value. We avoid conflicts of interest and disclose relevant relationships that might influence perception of our coverage.
Sourcing & Attribution: Reporters prioritize primary documents, on-the-record interviews, and data from official agencies. When using third-party reports, we provide clear attribution and links when available. Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when the information is vital and unobtainable otherwise.
Pre-Publication Review: Editors review articles for accuracy, clarity, context, and fairness. We check names, titles, dates, locations, and numbers against available records. We avoid clickbait framing, misleading headlines, and deceptive editing of quotes or media.
Labels & Transparency: We clearly label News, Opinion, Analysis, Sponsored, Press Release, and User-Generated Content. Visuals are captioned with the source, date, and context. We disclose when images or media are supplied by agencies, readers, or law enforcement.
Corrections & Updates: When errors occur, we correct them promptly and note what changed. For fast-moving stories, we add time-stamped updates to reflect new facts. Significant corrections receive a correction note at the top or bottom of the article.
Independence: Editorial and business operations are separate. Sponsorship and advertising relationships do not determine what we cover or how we cover it. We reject advertisers or partners whose requirements would compromise our independence or accuracy.
Safety & Sensitivity: We avoid publishing identifying details that could cause undue harm to victims, minors, or individuals in vulnerable situations. We refrain from graphic content unless there is a compelling public interest and we provide content warnings as appropriate.
Diversity & Inclusion: We strive to include voices from across the communities we serve. We avoid stereotypes and seek context that reflects the lived realities of affected groups. We will provide translations or plain-language explainers when needed to reach broader audiences.
AI & Automation: If AI-assisted tools are used for tasks like transcription or headline suggestions, final editorial judgment, verification, and publication decisions rest with human editors. We do not publish AI-generated news articles without human oversight.
