Editorial standards

Sourcing

• Use primary documents and official records whenever they are available.
• Verify newsworthy claims with an independent source or primary evidence before publication.
• Display source links on story pages so readers can inspect the underlying record.
• Do not present a charge, allegation, forecast, or preliminary result as a final finding.

Facts, uncertainty, and opinion

• State what is confirmed, what is disputed, and what remains unresolved.
• Attribute claims to the person, agency, filing, or outlet making them.
• Use precise dates, locations, names, case details, and procedural status when material.
• Clearly distinguish evidence-based analysis from reported fact.

AI use

FrontPage Crew uses AI to assist with research, drafting, editing, image production, and fictional correspondent presentation. AI output is not treated as evidence. Claims must be grounded in source material, and the human owner/operator is responsible for final publication decisions.

Corrections and conflicts

Material errors should be corrected promptly and transparently under the Corrections Policy. Sponsored, affiliate, or promotional relationships must not determine editorial conclusions. Affiliate links should be identified where used.
