Editorial Standards

Purpose

Prism Writing is a research and education platform. We publish long-form articles, breaking news summaries, and explanatory resources. This policy sets the minimum standard for sourcing, attribution, and corrections across all content types.

Sourcing & Attribution

• Every factual claim should be supported by at least one primary or high-quality secondary source.
• All articles and news summaries must include direct source links where feasible.
• We label anonymous or unverified sources clearly and avoid unsupported claims.
• Images must include proper licensing, attribution, or confirmed public-domain usage.

Fact-Checking

• Claims of law, policy, or regulation are reviewed against official government or statutory sources.
• Quantitative statements are cross-checked against at least two independent sources when available.
• Breaking news items are flagged as developing until independently corroborated.

Editorial Independence

We do not accept paid placement in news or research. Sponsorships, if any, are labeled clearly and separated from editorial judgment.

AI Use & Disclosure

We may use automation to assist with research synthesis or drafting, but all published content is reviewed by a human editor prior to release.

Corrections

Substantive errors are corrected promptly. Significant corrections are logged on our Corrections page with a timestamp and explanation.
