Editorial standards
Trust begins with telling readers what they are reading and how it was made.
Fiction and transparency
Stories are fictional unless an article is explicitly identified as reported nonfiction. We do not present invented characters or events as verified news.
Review and originality
Every published story is reviewed for clarity, consistency, harmful stereotypes, accidental similarity, and appropriate attribution. Quotes and factual references are checked before publication.
AI-assisted work
Technology may assist brainstorming, editing, or production. Human editors remain responsible for the final story, originality review, and publication decision.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly. When a correction changes the meaning of a published piece, we add a visible editor’s note explaining the update.
