At thestatestoday.com , our mission is to provide accurate, independent, and trustworthy news to our readers. We adhere to strict journalistic standards to ensure every piece of content meets the highest levels of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
This document outlines the guidelines our editorial team follows to maintain the integrity of our publication.
1. Accuracy & Fact-Checking
Accuracy is our top priority. We recognize that trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
- Verification: Every article is reviewed by an editor before publication. We cross-reference claims with primary sources, official documents, and subject matter experts.
- Sourcing: We prioritize original reporting and official sources. When referencing external data or quotes, we provide clear attribution and links to the original source.
- Headlines: We do not use clickbait. Our headlines accurately reflect the content of the article and do not mislead readers for the sake of traffic.
2. Corrections Policy
We are committed to transparency. If we make a mistake, we correct it promptly.
- Reporting Errors: Readers can report factual errors by Contact Us .
- Correction Process: When a substantial error is confirmed, we update the article and add a “Correction Note” at the bottom of the page detailing what was changed and when.
- Retractions: In rare cases where an article is fundamentally flawed, we will retract the story and provide an explanation to our readers.
3. Independence & Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial team operates independently from our advertising and business departments.
- No Pay-for-Play: We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable news coverage.
- Separation of Ads and News: Advertisements and sponsored content are clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Ad,” or “Partner Content” to distinguish them from independent news reporting.
- Financial Disclosures: If an article mentions a company in which thestatestoday.com or its parent company has a financial interest, this relationship will be disclosed within the article.
4. AI & Automation Policy
(Note: Google allows AI, but requires human oversight. This section protects you.)
At thestatestoday.com , we believe in the value of human insight. While we may use technology and AI tools to assist with research, data analysis, or grammar checking, all content is written, reviewed, and fact-checked by human editors prior to publication. We do not publish auto-generated content without human oversight.
5. Bylines & Authorship
We believe readers have a right to know who is reporting the news.
- Real Authors: Our articles are published under the names of real writers and editors. We provide author bios that highlight their specific expertise and background.
- No Generic Admin Users: We avoid publishing under generic names like “Admin” or “Staff” unless the piece is a collective editorial board opinion.
6. Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
To support our operations, thestatestoday.com participates in affiliate marketing programs.
- This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase.
- However, our editorial content is never influenced by these partnerships. We only recommend products or services that we believe add value to our readers.
7. Harassment & Hate Speech
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards hate speech. We do not publish content that promotes violence, discrimination, or harassment against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or nationality.
