Editorial policy

How we decide what to publish, how we check it, and how we correct mistakes.

Our standards

• Answer the reader's real question first, then explain.
• Separate news from opinion. Opinion pieces are labelled “Opinion”.
• No clickbait: the headline must match what the post actually says.

Fact-check labels

• Fact-checked — claims checked against the sources listed on the post.
• Developing story — confirmed so far, but details may change.
• Opinion — the author's view and experience.
• Not yet verified — published early; treat with caution until sources are added.

How we verify

• Facts, numbers and dates are checked against primary sources — official websites, documents and direct statements — and listed under Sources on each post.
• Photos and videos are our own or used with permission and credited.
• We never invent quotes, sources, data or eyewitness accounts.
• If we can't confirm something yet, the post is labelled Developing story or Not yet verified.

Corrections

If we get something wrong we fix it quickly, add a note to the post, and list it on our public corrections page. Report an error to contact@talkember.site.

Independence

Advertisers do not influence what we write. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labelled.
