NW News follows clear editorial standards to ensure accuracy, fairness, and public trust.
Accuracy and Verification
We verify information before publication using primary sources whenever possible, including public records, official data, documents, and on-the-record interviews. Facts are reviewed prior to publishing.
Corrections and Updates
If an error occurs, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections or significant updates are clearly noted on the article. Accuracy is more important than speed.
Attribution and Sourcing
We clearly attribute information to its sources. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the information cannot be obtained otherwise. Any use of anonymity is carefully reviewed and justified.
Fairness and Independence
NW News seeks relevant perspectives and context, particularly when covering institutions or issues with broad public impact. We maintain editorial independence from advertisers, sponsors, and outside interests.
Transparency
We clearly distinguish between news reporting, analysis, and opinion. Readers should always understand what type of story they are reading.
Use of Editorial Tools
NW News uses modern editorial tools, including AI-assisted research and editing, to support reporting. All stories are reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor prior to publication.
Conflicts of Interest
Editors and contributors disclose potential conflicts of interest. NW News avoids coverage that would compromise editorial integrity.
