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 reporting moves through separate discovery, research, writing, citation-audit, and publication-review stages. Automation does not lower the evidence standard.

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We do not publish unsupported rumors.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.
