Editorial Policy

Last reviewed: 6 July 2026

This Editorial Policy explains the principles and processes behind everything published on News World Inside. We share it openly because readers deserve to know not only what we report, but how we report it, who is accountable for it, and what to do if we get something wrong. These standards apply to all of our content, including news, features, and guest contributions.

Editorial Independence

Our reporting decisions are guided by one question: does this serve our readers? Editorial judgment rests with our editorial team and is not dictated by advertisers, sponsors, or any outside party. Commercial relationships never influence how we cover a story, and any sponsored or partner content is clearly labelled as such so it is never mistaken for independent reporting.

Accuracy and Fact-Checking

Accuracy comes before speed. Before a story is published, we take reasonable steps to confirm that the information it contains is correct:

  • We verify names, dates, figures, and key factual claims against credible sources.
  • Where a claim is central to a story, we seek supporting evidence and, where possible, more than one reliable source.
  • When details are still developing or cannot be confirmed, we say so plainly rather than presenting speculation as fact.

We would always rather take the time to get a story right than rush out an error.

Sourcing and Attribution

We are transparent about where our information comes from so you can judge its reliability for yourself.

  • We attribute facts, quotes, and data to their original sources, including official statements, public records, studies, and primary documents where relevant.
  • When we draw on other publications or third-party reporting, we credit them.
  • We treat anonymous or unverified claims with caution and do not present rumour as reporting.

Corrections, Updates, and Clarifications

We hold ourselves to high standards, but no newsroom is immune from error. When we get something wrong, we fix it openly and promptly.

  • Corrections address factual mistakes. Where an error is significant, we note what was changed rather than editing silently.
  • Updates keep developing stories current as new, verified information becomes available.
  • Clarifications address wording that, while not strictly inaccurate, could be misunderstood.

How to request a correction: If you believe something we have published is inaccurate, please tell us. Email us at [email protected] or use our Contact Us page, and include the article title or link along with the details you believe are incorrect. We review every request we receive and aim to respond within 48 hours. Genuine errors are corrected as quickly as we can confirm the facts.

Use of AI in Our Content

We embrace helpful technology, but people remain firmly in charge of our journalism. Where we use AI tools, it is only to support tasks such as research, drafting, editing, or formatting — never to replace human judgment. We do not use AI to fabricate quotes, invent sources, or generate claims that have not been verified. Every piece we publish is reviewed by a person who is accountable for its accuracy, tone, and fairness, and AI-assisted material is held to the same standards as all of our work.

Fairness, Impartiality, and Balance

We aim to report fairly and represent stories honestly, including perspectives that complicate an easy narrative. We keep a clear line between news and opinion: when we publish analysis or commentary, we present it as such rather than dressing opinion up as objective reporting. Our goal is to give you the information you need to reach your own conclusions.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

We are committed to reporting responsibly and treating the people in our stories with fairness and respect. We do not plagiarise, and we credit original work. Our contributors are expected to disclose any personal, financial, or professional interest that could reasonably affect their reporting, and we take steps to ensure such interests do not compromise our coverage. Advertising and sponsored content are kept separate from, and clearly distinguished from, our editorial reporting.

Guest Contributions and External Writers

News World Inside accepts contributions from guest writers. All submissions are subject to the same standards of accuracy, sourcing, and disclosure set out in this policy, and are reviewed by our editorial team before publication. Guest content that does not meet these standards is either revised or declined. Sponsored or promotional submissions must be disclosed and will be labelled accordingly.

Accountability

Responsibility for what appears on News World Inside rests with our editorial team. We stand behind our work, welcome scrutiny, and treat reader feedback as an essential part of doing journalism well. If we fall short of the standards in this policy, we want to hear about it so we can put it right.

Ownership and Funding

News World Inside is published by Tareq Hassan, based in New York, USA. The publication is funded through Google AdSense and paid advertisers. We disclose this in the interest of transparency, so readers understand who stands behind our reporting and how our work is supported. As set out above, this funding does not influence our editorial decisions, and advertising is always kept separate from our independent reporting.
