Atlas News Publication Policy Effective Date: 2025/05/23 Last Updated: 2025/05/23 1. Mission Statement Atlas News is committed to delivering accurate, timely, and independent reporting on global politics, economics, business, and current affairs. Our mission is to empower readers through accessible, fact-driven journalism that promotes informed citizenship and critical thinking. 2. Editorial Standards 2.1 Accuracy & Verification All articles must be fact-checked using credible primary and secondary sources. Quotes, data, and references must be clearly attributed. Corrections are issued promptly and transparently if any factual inaccuracies are identified post-publication. 2.2 Independence & Impartiality We maintain editorial independence from advertisers, sponsors, and political affiliations. Journalists and editors must disclose and recuse themselves from coverage involving any personal conflicts of interest. 2.3 Fairness & Balance We strive to represent all significant perspectives on issues of public interest. Editorials and opinion pieces are clearly labeled as such and separated from straight news reporting. 3. Editorial Process 3.1 Submission & Review All submissions undergo editorial review before publication. Articles may be edited for clarity, accuracy, structure, and alignment with Atlas News’ tone and standards. 3.2 Use of AI and Automation Atlas News may use AI-assisted tools for research, summaries, or drafting. However, final publication decisions are made by human editors to ensure context, tone, and ethical standards are upheld. 4. Corrections & Clarifications Minor errors (e.g., typos, formatting) may be updated without notice. Factual errors or omissions will be clearly corrected in the article with a time-stamped correction notice. Major retractions will be accompanied by a formal editorial statement explaining the reasoning. 5. Attribution & Use of Sources Anonymous sources are used only when there is a compelling public interest and no alternative means of obtaining the information. We attribute all content to original sources and seek permission where necessary. 6. Reader Engagement & Feedback We welcome feedback and critiques from readers. Comments and tips can be submitted via our contact page or secure tip line. Offensive, spam, or abusive comments will be moderated and removed according to our Community Guidelines. 7. Sponsored Content & Advertisements Sponsored content is clearly labeled with disclaimers to differentiate it from editorial work. We do not allow sponsors to influence our editorial content. 8. Ethics & Accountability Atlas News adheres to the highest journalistic standards, guided by the principles of the Society of Professional Journalists and the International Fact-Checking Network.
