Editorial Standards

Evidence first

We require at least two credible, genuinely independent sources before publishing. Syndicated copies of the same report do not count as independent. We prefer primary material: official documents, datasets, research papers and institutional announcements.

What we will not do

• Invent quotations, experts, interviews, statistics or sources.
• Present recycled coverage as a new event.
• Use outrage bait, misleading certainty or false urgency.
• Claim human review that did not happen.

Analysis and uncertainty

Analysis is labelled as such. Where facts are disputed or unconfirmed, we say so plainly.

When evidence falls short

If sources are unavailable, contradictory or insufficient, the article is held or the topic is dropped — we would rather skip a publishing slot than publish unsupported claims.
