Editorial policy

Below is how the editorial work is organised, from choosing a topic to correcting an already published piece.

Who is responsible for the material

Every piece has an author, and the name is shown on the article page. Responsibility for the facts lies with the site editors, not with outside contractors.

Material on this site is prepared and checked by Sarah Mitchell.

Sources and fact checking

We prefer the primary source to a retelling: if a statement cannot be verified, it does not go into the text.

How to report an error

An error report is reviewed within a few working days. If the error is confirmed, the text is corrected and the update date and the reason for the edit are shown on the page.
