Editorial Standards and Corrections

Our standard is straightforward: publish useful information in clear language, show its sources, and correct material mistakes openly.

Sources and verification

Before selecting a news story, we seek substantive coverage of the same event from at least three media outlets. We check reporting origins: several copies of a single wire report do not amount to independent corroboration. We check names, dates, amounts and the status of allegations, and consult original documents when available.

We hold stories when important facts conflict or adequate verification is unavailable. Targets for publication never override these checks.

Original writing and fair attribution

We write original summaries, link to supporting reports, and distinguish confirmed facts from statements, allegations, forecasts and opinion. We do not invent quotations, interviews, eyewitness accounts or reporters.

English and Bangla

Both language versions use the same factual basis. Material corrections must be reflected in both versions.

AI and illustrations

AI may assist our work, but its output is not evidence. Illustrations generated with AI are labelled. A representative illustration does not claim to depict the actual people or incident reported.

Editorial review

Sensitive allegations, disputed political claims, medical advice and unresolved factual conflicts require the editor’s review. Advertising and sponsored material must be clearly identified.

Corrections

We check reported errors against the evidence. Material corrections receive a visible note explaining what changed; minor spelling fixes may be made without a note. An article may be withdrawn where correction alone is insufficient.
