Accuracy before speed
Claims are attributed to identifiable sources. Developing facts are labelled as such, and uncertainty is never hidden to make a headline stronger.
Neutral, respectful coverage
Coverage avoids stereotypes, dehumanising language and decorative political, religious or military symbolism. Middle East reporting receives the same sourcing and correction standards as every other desk.
Conflicts and commercial content
Relevant conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Sponsored content must be labelled before the headline and may not imitate independent reporting.
Opinion and analysis
Opinion, analysis and news are visually and textually distinguished. Analysis may interpret verified facts but must identify assumptions and competing explanations.
Privacy and safety
Private personal data is not published without a compelling public-interest reason. Sources, credentials and unpublished drafts are not exposed in frontend code.
Automation
Automated collection does not equal publication. Telegram or other incoming messages require source labelling, deduplication, editorial review and safe rendering before appearing as verified news.
