Editorial policy

How we choose, write and check our stories.

We want every reader, young or old, to be able to trust what they read here.

How we make a story

Start from a public report. Every story is based on the facts in a news report from a source we trust, and it links back to it.
Write it in our own words. Stories are written with the help of automated tools (AI), in simple language, using only facts found in the source.
Check it. A separate check compares the story with the source for accuracy, spelling and child-safety. Anything that fails is fixed or not published.
Publish with credit. The original source is named and linked on every story.

What we do not publish

Violence, crime details or death
Drugs, gambling or adult topics
Frightening or upsetting events
Rumours, opinions presented as facts, or anything we cannot check

Pictures

Most pictures are free-to-use stock photos. They show the general topic, not the exact event, so they are marked as “Illustrative photo” with the photographer's credit.

Corrections

If we make a mistake, we fix it quickly and openly. Spotted something wrong? Tell us and we will look into it.
