Editorial standards

Important claims are supported by credible sources, and we link to them. We prefer primary sources such as official statements, data releases, court documents and company filings.

When we rely on reporting from other news organisations, we say so and link to their work. We do not rewrite other publications' articles; we add original context, data and explanation.

Every story is labelled by type: News, Analysis, Explainer, Fact Check or Opinion. Within stories we separate what is confirmed from what is reported, disputed or unknown.

Our fact checks identify the exact claim and who made it, test it against documented evidence, and give one of these verdicts:

• True: The claim is accurate and supported by evidence.
• Mostly true: Accurate, but needs clarification or additional context.
• Misleading: Contains some accurate elements but creates a false impression.
• False: The claim is not supported by the available evidence.
• Unproven: There is not enough evidence to confirm or refute the claim.

Advertising and sponsorship never influence verdicts.

We use AI tools to help research, summarise, organise, translate and connect information, and to draft initial versions of some stories. AI-assisted work is always reviewed, edited and approved by a human editor before publication, and is labelled at the end of the article.

Links in our articles come from the research record, not from a model's memory. We do not publish AI-generated images as photographs of real events.

Stories in Bahasa Indonesia are translated and localised from the English original, then reviewed. If a story is not yet available in your language, we say so and show the original.

In fast-moving situations, early information is often wrong. Live updates are timestamped and labelled as confirmed or unconfirmed, and we correct earlier updates openly.

When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and say so. Significant corrections are noted at the end of the article with the date. To report an error, email [email protected] with the link and the details.
