Editorial Policy
Last updated: September 3, 2026
DMNews covers marketing, media, technology, business, and consumer behaviour. This policy explains the standards and production practices that apply to editorial material we publish.
Our standards
Source verification. We use primary and authoritative sources where practical, link or identify sources appropriately, and distinguish reporting from interpretation or opinion.
Accuracy and context. Headlines and summaries should fairly reflect the underlying evidence. We aim to identify uncertainty, preliminary findings, material limitations, and meaningful conflicts of interest.
Editorial independence. Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate, service, and other commercial relationships do not determine editorial conclusions. Paid or affiliate relationships are identified where required.
Corrections. We correct confirmed errors promptly. Where appropriate, a material correction includes a dated note explaining the significant change.
Authors, editors, and editorial labels
Articles may be published under a real human author or contributor’s name. A house-column or editorial-team byline identifies an editorial desk or collective newsroom process, not a fictional individual. Every article, including work published under an editorial or house-column label, is reviewed and approved by a human before publication. DMNews and its editorial team retain responsibility for the published work.
Use of AI tools
AI-assisted tools may support research, source discovery, transcription, summarising source material, drafting, fact-checking support, headline development, and post-publication quality checks. AI is not treated as an author and does not decide what we publish. Human reviewers remain responsible for sources, attribution, factual claims, and final presentation.
AI tools must not be used to fabricate quotations, invent sources, impersonate real people, or present generated material as first-hand reporting.
Contributed and third-party material
We may report from news releases, research announcements, wire material, freelance work, guest contributions, public records, and information supplied by organisations. We edit and attribute this material as appropriate. Publication does not necessarily mean endorsement of a source or contributor’s views.
