Editorial Standards

NewNws aims to publish timely, accurate and clearly attributed news.

Verification

We prioritise identifiable primary documents, official statements and established news organisations. For developing events, details may change; we will make clear when information remains unconfirmed.

Attribution

Articles should link to the original reporting or documents used. NewNws summaries are written in our own words and are not substitutes for the source report.

Fairness and independence

We aim to represent relevant facts and viewpoints fairly, distinguish fact from analysis, and avoid presenting opinion as established fact.

Corrections and updates

When material errors are identified, we aim to correct them promptly. Developing articles should be updated when meaningful new information is verified.

Images and copyright

Images and quotations must be used responsibly, with appropriate permission, licensing or attribution where required. A link to a source does not itself grant permission to reproduce its material.

AI-assisted work

Automation may assist research, drafting and formatting, but published claims require verification against reliable sources. We do not treat AI-generated text as a source of fact.
