Curiosity without misinformation.
Story selection
We prioritise stories with genuine public interest, freshness, relevance, search demand or practical value. We do not aim to publish filler solely to increase article count.
Sourcing and verification
Published claims should be supported by credible sources such as official statements, court or regulatory records, company disclosures, direct reporting, established news organisations or other reliable primary and secondary material appropriate to the story.
Developing stories
Breaking stories can change quickly. When facts are still developing, the article should make that uncertainty clear and should be updated when material new information becomes available.
Headlines and visuals
Headlines and featured images may be designed to earn attention, but they must not create a materially false impression of what the article contains. Important qualifiers should not be hidden when they change the meaning of a claim.
Corrections and updates
Material factual errors should be corrected promptly. Significant updates should preserve the original publication date while also showing the latest modification time when technically available.
AI-assisted workflows
Software and AI tools may assist with research organisation, drafting, formatting or production, but they should not replace verification of factual claims. Published content remains subject to the same sourcing, accuracy and editorial standards regardless of the tools used to create it.
Conflicts and sponsored content
Commercial or sponsored material, if published, should be clearly distinguishable from independent editorial coverage and should not be presented in a way that misleads readers about its nature.
