Why We Publish This

Readers deserve a stated standard to hold us to. This page is that standard.

Verification Before Publication

We check claims against their original source before publishing — the filing, the transcript, the record, the release. Where a story rests on another outlet’s reporting, we say so and link it rather than presenting it as our own work.

Where an account is disputed, we present the dispute. Where evidence is unavailable — footage unreleased, records sealed, a party silent — we tell readers that plainly. An honest gap is better than a confident guess.

Headlines and Framing

Our headlines are written to be direct and to compete for attention in a crowded feed. We treat a headline as a promise about the article, and our standard is that the article keeps it: the facts a headline asserts must be established in the piece beneath it.

Where a headline asks a question or signals uncertainty, the article addresses that question with what is actually known. Where we have overstated a story in a headline, we change it and note the change.

News, Analysis and Opinion

Reported pieces carry sourcing and stay out of advocacy. Analysis interprets and is labelled. Opinion argues, is sectioned separately, and represents its author. Readers should be able to tell which is which at a glance.

Corrections Policy

Factual errors are corrected promptly. A correction states what was wrong and when it was fixed; we do not amend quietly. Substantive updates to running stories are dated. Published articles are not deleted to make an error disappear.

Report an error to contact@todaystribune.com with the article and the specific problem.

Advertising and Independence

Today’s Tribune is funded by advertising. Advertisers do not review, approve, influence or veto editorial content, and no commercial relationship determines what we cover.

Use of AI Tools

We use software tools to assist research, drafting and editing. Every published piece is reviewed by a person first. Responsibility for accuracy rests with us, not with any tool we use.
