EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Clarity before certainty.

PolitiMeter is designed to help readers understand coverage—not to replace original reporting or declare one political viewpoint correct.

Source transparency

Every published story cluster links to its original reporting and shows how coverage is distributed across the spectrum. State stories require at least two independent publishers; national and world stories require five.

Independent corroboration

Each statement in a facts-only report requires support from at least two independent reports or confirmation from a primary document. Syndicated copies count as one source.

Human accountability

Automated analysis is reviewed when confidence is low, when sources materially disagree, or when a story creates heightened legal, safety, or reputational risk.

Publisher rights

We publish original analysis and limited metadata or excerpts, honor publisher restrictions, and remove or correct material when warranted.

Corrections

Send correction requests to corrections@politimeter.com. Requests should include the story URL, disputed statement, and supporting source.
