Guidances policy
Editorial Standards
Updated June 2, 2026
Guidances is designed for source-linked, accountable AI-assisted editorial workflows.
Accuracy
High-impact claims should be checked against credible sources before publication. Stories about named people, securities, elections, health, legal claims, disasters, or crime require human review before broad public distribution.
Sources
Articles should preserve source URLs, collection context, and fact-check notes. Guidances should not reproduce full third-party articles or replace paywalled reporting.
Visual integrity
Generated images should avoid identifiable private people, exact logos, copyrighted characters, fabricated evidence, and misleading charts. Diagrams should explain relationships or workflows and should not invent numeric data.
Corrections
Material corrections should be recorded through article updates. If a story may cause harm while under review, it should be unpublished until reviewed.
