EDITORIAL TRUST

Editorial Policy

How News Digest AI selects, verifies, writes, reviews and corrects its coverage — and the standards readers can expect from us.

  • Original sources first
  • Human editorial accountability
  • Clear commercial separation

Our editorial process is designed to make fast-moving AI coverage useful, traceable and fair. Every published item should help the reader understand what happened, why it matters and what remains uncertain.

01 — SELECTION

What earns our attention

We prioritise developments with practical, commercial, technological, financial, regulatory or strategic significance. A story must offer more than novelty: it should materially affect how AI is built, bought, governed or used.

We do not publish routine claims solely because a company describes them as important. Multiple reports about the same development are treated as one story.

02 — VERIFICATION

Original evidence comes first

We verify publication dates, distinguish original reporting from syndication and link to primary sources wherever possible. These may include official announcements, product documentation, regulatory filings, research papers and direct statements.

  • Claims are checked against the underlying source.
  • Material uncertainty and conflicting evidence are identified.
  • Facts, analysis and opinion are kept meaningfully distinct.
  • Headlines must accurately represent the article.

03 — REVIEW

Human responsibility at every stage

The named author is accountable for the work. A reviewer checks material claims, source quality, clarity and practical relevance before publication. Published and updated dates remain visible on the page.

AI tools may assist research, transcription, summarisation or production, but they do not replace editorial judgement or accountability. Read our AI Usage Policy →

04 — INDEPENDENCE

Coverage cannot be bought

Editorial inclusion is not for sale. Sponsorships, affiliate relationships, advertising and supplied products must be disclosed and do not guarantee coverage or a positive conclusion. Commercial partners do not receive approval over independent editorial copy.

05 — UPDATES & CORRECTIONS

We update openly

Material updates should change the visible updated date. When a substantive factual error is confirmed, we correct it and add an explanatory note where context is needed. Minor spelling or formatting changes may be made without a correction note.

06 — FEEDBACK

Challenge our work constructively

Readers, companies and sources can raise a concern by sharing the page URL, the disputed statement and supporting evidence. We assess corrections on their merits, regardless of commercial relationship.
