Editorial Standards

We aim to produce reporting that is accurate, fair, and accountable.

Verification

• Factual claims are based on public records, official statements, direct observation, or on-the-record sources.
• When information is preliminary or evolving, that status is disclosed.

Attribution

• Sources are named whenever possible.
• Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when necessary to convey information of clear public interest.

Reporting vs. Opinion

• News reporting and opinion are clearly distinguished.
• Analysis and commentary are labeled and grounded in verifiable facts.

AI Use

• AI tools may be used to assist with research, drafting, transcription, or formatting.
• All published material is reviewed and edited by a human editor, who is responsible for accuracy, tone, and judgment.

Corrections

• Errors are corrected promptly and transparently. See the Corrections & Updates page for details.

Our credibility depends on consistency. We take that obligation seriously.
