Verified Standards & Ethics As a digital news outlet reporting on sensitive public interest stories, including crime and technology, we adhere to the following professional standards:
1. Verification First
We follow a “Two-Source” rule. No news story regarding public safety or crime is published unless it has been confirmed by official law enforcement bulletins or two independent, credible sources.
2. Los Angeles Editorial Hub
While our reporters are stationed across various time zones, all content is funneled through our Los Angeles Editorial Hub. Every story is reviewed by a Managing Editor to ensure it meets our Neutral Point of View (NPOV) guidelines.
3. Ethics in Crime Reporting
We recognize that crime news affects real families.
-
We do not publish the names of minors involved in incidents.
-
We prioritize the privacy of victims.
-
We do not use “clickbait” or graphic imagery that serves no educational or safety purpose.
4. Transparency & Corrections
If an error is discovered, we publish a correction at the top of the article within 2 hours of verification. We believe transparency is the foundation of reader trust.
