Editorial standards

Accuracy and verification

• Every published brief must identify at least one accessible source.
• Claims are checked against the source material used for the brief.
• Conflicting reports are attributed and uncertainty is stated clearly.
• Meaningful updates are added to the existing story history where appropriate.
• Administrative edits alone do not make an older story appear newly reported.

Neutrality and language

Bulleted uses a restrained, factual news style. Headlines and bullets should describe reported events without sensationalism, unsupported conclusions, promotional calls to action or publisher branding inside the editorial text.

Each bullet is limited to 30 words. Longer article sections are used only when they add material explanation beyond the bullets.

Sources and attribution

Sources are listed separately at the end of each article. Bulleted paraphrases source reporting and does not present source wording as its own. Direct quotations, when necessary, should be brief, clearly attributed and used only where the exact words are newsworthy.

The number, independence and reliability of available sources are considered during review. A source link does not imply endorsement of every statement or policy of that publisher.

Human review

During the pilot, no new or updated article is published automatically. An authorised editor reviews the title, bullets, explanatory sections, timeline, sources, matching decision and copyright-similarity checks before publication.

Commercial separation

Sponsored material must be labelled clearly. Advertising must not exceed or obscure the editorial content, and commercial relationships must not influence editorial conclusions.
