STANDARDS / EDITORIAL
Editorial Standards
LUMACTA NEWS makes its reporting method legible through original writing, primary evidence, fair attribution, explicit uncertainty, human approval and a durable correction record.
Last updated:
Evidence before certainty
Material claims are mapped to evidence before publication. Primary documents, direct observations, reproducible tests and on-record answers are preferred when they support the specific claim being made.
A company statement supports what that company says. It does not automatically prove the statement is true.
Original reporting and writing
LUMACTA NEWS writes its own headlines, structure, analysis and summaries. Links and short quotations help readers inspect evidence; they do not replace original reporting.
Fairness and response
Materially criticised people and organisations receive a reasonable opportunity to respond when circumstances allow. A response, refusal or non-response is described accurately without turning silence into proof.
Uncertainty and updates
Unknowns remain visible in the headline, standfirst, What We Know section and body. A launch, release, shipment and general availability are treated as different claims.
Material changes produce a dated correction, clarification, update or retraction record instead of a silent rewrite.
Human approval
Software may recommend, organise or flag. It cannot approve a claim, headline, image right, correction or publication. A named human approves the exact version that may enter a public release.
