Editorial standards

Accuracy and verification

We aim to be accurate before we are first. We check facts against reliable sources, and an editor reviews every story before it is published. When we are not sure of something, we say so or leave it out.

Sources and attribution

We name our sources wherever we can. When a story is based on another outlet's reporting, we say so and link to the original report. We may protect the identity of a source who could be harmed by being named, and we will say when we have done so.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help draft some stories, especially short summaries of international news from outlets such as BBC News, and to suggest headlines. A person always reads and approves an AI-assisted draft before it is published, and stories based on another outlet's reporting say so. We do not use AI to invent quotes, people or events.

Independence, advertising and sponsorship

Advertisers and sponsors do not decide what we report or how we report it. Paid or sponsored content will always be clearly labelled so you can tell it apart from our reporting.

Fairness and right of reply

We try to give people and organisations we report on a fair chance to respond. If you think we have treated you unfairly, please tell us.

Reader comments and submissions

Comments are reviewed before they appear, and we may reject or remove comments that are abusive, unlawful or spam. Stories sent in by readers are checked before we use them.

Corrections and complaints

If we get something wrong we correct it quickly and say so. Read our corrections policy. To report an error or make a complaint, email kingmusahmedia@gmail.com with the link to the story and what you think is wrong. We will look into it and reply.
