Editorial Policy
Our standards
Erths is an independent news and analysis publication. Our editorial decisions are guided by accuracy, fairness, and transparency.
We aim to inform readers about events shaping global affairs, technology, business, power, and climate — without exaggeration, advocacy, or undisclosed influence.
Accuracy and verification
-
We verify information using primary sources wherever possible, including official documents, data, filings, legislation, and on-the-record statements.
-
When information cannot be independently confirmed, we make that uncertainty clear.
-
We distinguish clearly between reporting, analysis, and explainers.
Sources
-
We prioritise named, on-the-record sources.
-
Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the information cannot be obtained otherwise.
-
When anonymity is granted, we describe the source’s position or relevance as clearly as possible without compromising safety.
Corrections and updates
-
Errors are corrected promptly once identified.
-
Material corrections are noted transparently within the article or on our Corrections page.
-
Articles may be updated as new information emerges; update timestamps are displayed where relevant.
Independence
Erths is editorially independent.
We do not accept payment for favourable coverage, undisclosed sponsored content, or editorial influence of any kind.
If advertising or sponsorship is introduced in the future, it will be clearly labelled and separated from editorial decision-making.
Conflicts of interest
Editors and contributors are expected to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. Where relevant, disclosures will be made within the article.
