Editorial standards

How an article is made

1. Choose a useful question. We select a specific development rather than chase a dramatic headline.
2. Read the trail. We start with primary documents or direct agency, observatory, university or company material where available, then add reputable explanatory reporting.
3. Separate fact from interpretation. We write original copy, attribute claims, preserve important qualifications and avoid implying certainty that the evidence does not support.
4. Link the evidence. Every article includes a reporting trail with the source title and a direct link. Readers can inspect the underlying context, media, credits and later updates.
5. Review before publication. We check names, dates, numbers, links and the distinction between a target, proposal, result and confirmed event.

Attribution and fairness

We attribute ideas, quotations, measurements and exclusive claims to their source. We do not pass off another publisher’s prose, structure or images as our own. Company and agency claims are identified as claims, and affected people or communities are included when a story has material consequences for them.

We do not knowingly publish allegations without a credible evidentiary basis and a fair description of what is known and unknown. We correct our own errors rather than silently changing the record.

Revisions and corrections

Routine copy edits may improve spelling, links or clarity without changing the meaning. A material revision changes a fact, framing, source basis or conclusion; we add a revision note to the article and describe what changed. A correction note identifies the original error, the accurate information and the date of the change.
