All factual claims must be verified through credible sources. Facts should come from primary sources (official statements, press releases, interviews, verified documents) or established, reputable publications. Statistics must derive from credible research institutions or official reports.
You take full responsibility for fact verification. Significant inaccuracies discovered after publication may result in article removal or corrections.
Present all relevant perspectives fairly. When reporting controversial topics or negative information, provide subjects opportunity to respond. Include company statements when reporting on company news. Clearly attribute information to its source using phrases like "According to...", "A spokesperson stated...", or "Official records show..."
Avoid one-sided narratives and include important context that readers need to understand the story.
All submitted news must be completely original. Do not copy articles from other publications, republish press releases verbatim, or use quotes without proper attribution. When referencing other news sources, cite them clearly with hyperlinks.
Add substantial original value through independent reporting, analysis, or additional investigation rather than simply summarizing other outlets' work.
Submissions must not contain deliberately false information, unverified rumors presented as fact, conspiracy theories without evidence, or misleading headlines. All information must be verifiable and attributable.
Disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence your reporting: financial interests in covered companies, personal relationships with sources, employment relationships, or stock ownership. Include disclosures in your author bio or a separate section.
Treat all individuals with sensitivity and respect. Avoid unnecessary identification of vulnerable individuals, gratuitous details that sensationalize tragedy, or dehumanizing language about any group. Do not include hate speech, discriminatory content, or personal attacks.
Minimum: 500 words for standard news stories, 800+ words for in-depth analysis and investigations.
Recommended: 800-1,500 words for comprehensive coverage while maintaining reader engagement.
Maximum: 3,000 words for detailed investigations or trend reports.
Breaking News Exception: Developing stories may be 300-500 words for quick publication, with follow-up updates as the story develops.
Headline — Clear, factual title accurately representing content. Include relevant keywords without sensationalism.
Lede — First 1-2 sentences answering Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Summarize the news's key importance.
Body Content — Organize from most to least important information. Keep paragraphs to 3-4 sentences maximum. Include direct quotes from official statements, interviews, or press releases. Add background context, relevant data, and supporting details.
Conclusion — Wrap up with implications, next steps, or what readers should watch. End with strong forward-looking perspective.
Write in clear, professional language appropriate for business decision-makers. Avoid jargon and overly technical language. Use active voice and factual, objective reporting. Define industry terms when first used. Avoid sensationalism, excessive capitalization, or emotional language.
Clearly attribute all information to sources. Use quotes for exact statements and cite sources for data and analysis.
