Ethics & AI-use policy
A recognizable voice. Evidence you can inspect. Responsibility that stays with the editor.
Evidence before attitude.
We distinguish measured facts, allegations, proposals and completed actions. We link original documents and independent reporting. Multiple copies of one syndicated report count as one original newsroom.
How we use AI.
AI assists with research, drafting, editing and organizing source material. Treavor English directs the work and is responsible for what appears under his byline. AI assistance does not turn a generated answer into a checked fact.
This is a small, AI-assisted publication. Articles assembled from public records are not presented as field interviews or firsthand reporting. We do not invent quotations, experiences or sources.
Images and charts.
Story images must be real photographs with an appropriate source and usage basis, or charts built from linked data. We do not use generated scenes as documentary evidence. Charts identify their measures, periods and sources.
Opinion and funding.
Opinion is labeled. Attributed positions stay distinct from the factual account. Advertisements are labeled and do not purchase favorable coverage, story placement or editorial control.
