What we got wrong

Public, dated, and linked to the story it belongs to. Every revision is kept, including the one we would rather forget.

What we will not do

These are not aspirations. They are constraints wired into the system, and they are the reason some stories take longer to appear here.

Republish anyone's article

We summarise, cite and link out. The reporting stays where it was made, and the outlet keeps the traffic it earned.

Print a claim without a source

Every line in a story carries its status and the outlets behind it. If it cannot be traced, it is held back rather than softened.

Let a machine publish alone

Anything touching war, death, crime, elections, health, courts or minors waits for a person. No exceptions, no override.

Quietly edit the record

Corrections are dated and public, old revisions stay readable, and a retraction says plainly that we were wrong.
