Editorial standards

How we approach our reporting

Our editorial policy explains how we pursue accuracy, independence, fairness, and transparency.

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Accuracy comes first

We aim to verify names, dates, figures, quotations, and technical claims before publication. When information cannot be independently confirmed, we identify the source and describe the uncertainty.

Sources and attribution

We prefer primary sources such as official documents, public data, direct interviews, and original research. We link to source material when it is useful and available to readers.

Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when the information serves a clear public interest and cannot reasonably be obtained on the record.

Independence and conflicts

Editorial decisions should not be influenced by advertisers, sponsors, investors, or personal relationships. Relevant conflicts of interest are disclosed to readers.

Sponsored or partner content must be clearly labeled and kept distinct from independent reporting.

Corrections and updates

We correct meaningful factual errors promptly. Substantial corrections should explain what changed, while routine spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a note.

AI-assisted work

Automation may assist with research, transcription, organization, or editing, but published work remains subject to human review. Journalists and editors remain responsible for accuracy, context, and final publication decisions.
