Clarity requires
showing the work.
DMNews is responsible for every article it publishes, regardless of which tools assisted its production.
Bylines identify who takes responsibility.
Direct Message News is our institutional byline. It is used for collective desk work produced under the DMNews method. It represents an organization, not a hidden person or fictional AI identity.
A named person receives the author byline when that person contributed substantial individual authorship. A person is not named as the writer merely because they operated a publishing tool or approved a draft.
A human credit must describe a real action.
An article shows “Edited by” only when that person reviewed and approved the specific article before publication. Approval can include source review, corrections, structural editing, or a final editorial decision. We do not add a human editor credit automatically from a schedule, slug, or engine account.
AI is a production tool, not the accountable author.
DMNews may use AI tools for source discovery, transcription, summarization, drafting, structure, headline exploration, copy editing, and visual concepts. The publication remains responsible for the resulting work.
We identify synthetic images, audio, or video when the use could materially change a reader’s understanding of what is real. We do not create fictional writer biographies or present a model as a human journalist.
Claims should lead back to evidence.
Factual claims link to the source that supports them whenever a public source is available. We prefer primary documents, research papers, official records, court filings, direct statements, and clearly attributed reporting.
A link is not proof by itself. Sources are assessed for relevance, proximity to the claim, publication date, and whether another independent source is required.
The record can be corrected.
When a material factual error is confirmed, we correct the article promptly and add a correction note when the change affects a reader’s understanding. Smaller spelling, grammar, formatting, and link repairs may be made without a note.
Correction requests can be sent through our contact page.
Advertising does not purchase editorial conclusions.
DMNews is published by Brown Brothers Media. Advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate relationships are kept separate from independent editorial decisions. Paid material is labeled so readers can distinguish it from editorial coverage.
