About Aevum News

Aevum News is a globally distributed digital journalism platform founded in 2022. Our name derives from the Latin "aevum", meaning "age" or "eternity" β€” reflecting our commitment to journalism that endures beyond the 24-hour news cycle.

Our Mission

To deliver unfiltered, authoritative journalism that cuts through noise. We believe every story matters and every fact deserves rigorous verification. Our readers trust us not because we're the first to report, but because they know our reporting is always correct.

Editorial Guidelines

Our editorial guidelines form the backbone of every story we publish. They ensure consistency, accuracy, and fairness across all content produced by Aevum News.

Core Writing Standards

  • Inverted Pyramid: Most important information comes first
  • Active Voice: Prefer "The committee approved" over "Approval was given"
  • Attribution: Every claim must be attributed to a specific source
  • Neutral Tone: Avoid editorializing; let facts speak
  • Clarity: Write at an 8th-grade reading level minimum
⚠️
Common Pitfall: Unattributed Claims

Never write "research shows" or "experts agree" without naming the specific research or experts. Vague attribution undermines credibility.

Fact-Checking Protocol

1

Primary Source Verification

Every factual claim must be traceable to a primary source: official documents, direct statements, raw data, or firsthand accounts.

2

Corroboration

At least one independent secondary source must confirm the primary claim before publication.

3

Editorial Review

A senior editor reviews the story specifically for factual accuracy, cross-referencing all claims against sources.

4

Final Sign-off

The managing editor gives final approval. No story publishes without dual sign-off from field editor and managing editor.

API Access
