How a story gets here
Six stages, in order. Nothing skips a stage, and nothing about war, death, crime, elections, health or the courts publishes without an editor.

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.
