Publishing policy
Editorial standards
A practical standard for weekly articles, visual media and linked live-data sources.
Record when live information was observed.
Live maps and dashboards can change. Articles display dates and explain whether a value is an observation, forecast or interpretation.
Distinguish fact, analysis and opinion.
Headlines and highlighted passages should not claim more than the supporting evidence.
Use video and social posts as evidence or explanation.
Inline media should add context, demonstrate a process or link to the original source.
Give readers a route back to the source.
Long-form articles end with a reference list and direct links where appropriate.
Update transparently.
Material corrections should identify what changed and when. Small style changes do not need a correction note.
