Editorial Policy
How the Newsroom reports.
This policy is the standing instruction to every editor who publishes under the GlueArrow byline. It is not a marketing document. It is the rule.
Sourcing
Every factual claim in a post traces to one of three sources: the platform’s own signed broadcast logs, a named external report, or a person speaking on the record. No other source is sufficient. Anonymous sources are used only where identifying them would put the source at real risk, and only with editor approval.
Accuracy
Posts are fact-checked by an editor who is not the author before publication. Numbers are verified against the underlying data. Quotes are verified against the original recording or message. A post that cannot clear fact-check does not run.
Independence
The Newsroom is editorially independent of the platform’s commercial operations. The sales team, the product team, and partner stations do not approve posts and do not see them before publication. The Newsroom does not accept sponsored content.
The line between reporting and company speech
The Newsroom publishes reporting on the industry and the platform. Company announcements, regulatory filings, and marketing copy live elsewhere and are labelled accordingly. When the Newsroom covers GlueArrow itself, it covers it the same way it would cover any other party — with the same standard of evidence.
Updates
A post that is materially updated after publication carries an update note at the top, with the date and a plain-language summary of the change. The original wording is preserved in the post’s history. Typos and broken links are fixed silently; anything else is logged.
Corrections
Mistakes are corrected as soon as they are confirmed. The correction is noted on the post and, for material errors, listed on the Corrections page. The Newsroom does not delete posts to avoid a correction, and does not rewrite history.
Conflicts of interest
When a post touches a party the platform has a commercial relationship with, that relationship is disclosed in the post itself. The rule is simple: if a reasonable reader would want to know, it goes in the post.
