Editorial principles

Facts first, context close to the update

Every story is checked against more than one source before it is published. We report what is known, separate confirmed facts from open questions, and keep the context a reader needs alongside each update.

Our reporting stays neutral. We do not frame events to provoke, and we correct errors openly so readers can trust what they read.

How we publish

From first lead to published update

01

Verify the lead

Each tip or report is checked against independent sources before any claim reaches the page.

02

Report with context

Reporters add background and timeline detail so each update explains what changed and why it matters.

03

Mark developing stories

Stories still unfolding are labelled as developing, and new facts are added as they are confirmed.

04

Correct openly

When an error is found, we amend the article and note the correction so the record stays accurate.
