Standards
Reporting standards built around evidence.
Evidence and attribution
Material factual claims are supported by visible source references. We prefer primary, current records when reasonably available and attribute reporting when another outlet originates material information.
News and opinion
News reports developments. Opinion and analysis are visibly labeled, use disclosed AI editorial personas, and must still ground their factual premises in sources.
Review before publication
Automated systems assist with discovery, research, drafting, and citation checks. A human editor reviews every article before publication and may revise, hold, or reject it. That review examines newsworthiness, sourcing, claim precision, context, uncertainty, and whether the article adds useful synthesis instead of merely repeating its sources.
Rumors, leaks, and sensitive claims
We do not publish unsupported rumors. Claims involving allegations, leaks, litigation, safety causation, or reputational risk are handled with appropriate sourcing, attribution, and uncertainty.
Corrections
When we identify a material error, we correct it transparently and add a visible correction note when readers need one.
