EDITORIAL POLICY

Source-first, restrained, and transparent

WORFLICT prioritizes traceability over certainty: readers should always be able to see where a claim came from and understand how our text was produced.

Core standards

  • Source visibility: every report links to the original publisher.
  • Attribution: claims remain claims made by a source unless independently established.
  • Restraint: titles should avoid sensationalism, unsupported certainty, and dehumanizing language.
  • Separation: summaries describe source material; they are not WORFLICT opinions.
  • Transparency: automated generation and translation are disclosed.

Automated content

Automated summaries are checked through system rules, consistency checks, and source traceability, but they are not individually reviewed by a human editor before every publication. We do not intentionally create quotations that are absent from the source, add casualty figures, or convert allegations into established facts.

Conflict-sensitive language

Labels used by governments, armed groups, and publishers can be contested. Where possible, summaries use specific descriptions and attribute disputed labels. Legal classifications such as war crimes, genocide, or terrorism should be attributed unless established by an appropriate authority and accurately represented by the source.

Source diversity

Automated discovery may surface publishers with different editorial standards and political perspectives. Inclusion is not a reliability certificate. Readers are encouraged to compare several independent sources.

Commercial and political independence

Advertising, sponsorship, government requests, or political interests do not determine which claims are treated as true. If sponsored material is introduced in the future, it will be clearly labeled and separated from the news feed.
