HOT NEWS INTERNATIONAL

Editorial Rules

Accuracy, independence and useful context guide every story we publish.

Accuracy and corrections

Hot News International verifies names, dates, figures and material claims before publication. When a substantive error is confirmed, the correction is made promptly and explained clearly.

Independence

Editorial choices are made for readers. Commercial relationships do not buy favorable coverage, and sponsored material must be identified so it cannot be confused with independent reporting.

Sources and attribution

We prefer named, primary and accountable sources. Anonymous sourcing is reserved for information that serves a clear public interest and cannot reasonably be obtained on the record.

Fairness

Organizations and people facing significant criticism should have a meaningful opportunity to respond. Headlines, summaries and images must represent the underlying material fairly.

Artificial intelligence

Technology may support research, translation and production, but editors remain responsible for verification, originality, judgment and the published result.
