Editorial Standards & Verification Policy
At Aevum News, journalistic integrity is non-negotiable. Our editorial framework is designed to ensure accuracy, fairness, and independence across all reporting formats.
Core Principles
- Multi-Source Verification: No story is published without independent verification from at least two reliable, attributable sources.
- Clear Attribution: All quotes, data, and claims are clearly sourced. Anonymous sourcing is permitted only when necessary for safety, with editor-in-chief approval.
- Independence: Aevum News maintains strict firewalls between editorial and commercial operations. Advertising partnerships never influence coverage.
Corrections & Clarifications
We acknowledge that errors can occur. When factual inaccuracies are identified, we issue transparent corrections prominently displayed at the top of the affected article, with an explanation of the error and the timeline of the fix. All corrections are archived in our public ledger.
Our editorial guidelines undergo annual review by an independent advisory board comprising journalists, ethicists, and media scholars.
