Editorial standards

Original English briefs

We write original summaries of reported facts and link to supporting sources. We do not treat attribution as permission to republish full articles, translations or photographs.

Verification and attribution

Articles distinguish allegations from established findings, name the origin of a claim and flag unresolved conflicts. Two outlets repeating the same statement are not independent confirmation.

AI assistance and human review

AI may assist with discovery, translation for understanding and drafting. Every article must receive human review before publication. We do not invent witnesses, credentials, reporting or images of real events.

Public identity

Articles may be published under the publication name for contributor privacy. That byline does not imply a particular staff size or on-the-ground reporting.

Corrections and imagery

Material errors receive visible, dated corrections. We use non-graphic, rights-cleared imagery and distinguish new developments from corrections.
