How We Work
Every story on NewsFormal is shaped by the same set of editorial commitments. We publish openly about what they are so readers can hold us to them.
Accuracy First
Stories must be sourced before they are published. When a fact comes from a third-party publication, we attribute it by name and link directly to the original report. When something is uncertain or contested, we say so in the article rather than smoothing it over.
AI Use Policy
We use large language models to assist with summarising news and drafting clear, scannable copy. Editorial judgement — what to cover, what to verify, what to omit, how to frame — is made by human editors. Articles produced with AI assistance carry a visible disclosure under the byline area. AI does not have publishing authority on this site.
Sources & Attribution
If our reporting is built on another publication’s work, that publication appears in the “Original source” line near the top of the article body, with a direct link. We do not present third-party reporting as our own original investigation. Quotes attributed to named people are taken verbatim from the source and credited.
Editorial Independence
NewsFormal is supported by advertising, primarily Google AdSense. Advertisers do not see, review, or influence editorial decisions before publication. Ad placements are visually distinct from editorial content. The editorial team has final authority on what runs, in what order, and on what terms.
Corrections & Updates
Errors are fixed promptly when brought to our attention. Substantive corrections are noted in the article. If you spot a problem, email [email protected] with the URL and a description, or use the channels on our Contact page. Editorial corrections are typically actioned within 24 hours.
Editor’s Take
Each story includes a short “Editor’s Take” — two or three sentences of original NewsFormal perspective: a sober assessment, a frame for why a story matters, or a flag for what to watch next. These are opinion-adjacent and clearly labelled, separate from the news summary.
Detailed policies on data handling, advertising, and use of our content live in our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms of Service.
