Editorial Policy

This policy explains how JQJO selects, verifies, summarizes, labels, and corrects news. It applies to all content published on JQJO.

1. Purpose and Scope

• 60-second summaries
• Full-text stories and explainers
• Who Benefited / Who Suffered / Expert Opinion / Timeline sections
• Audio versions and short-form video reels
• Bias meters, source labels, and coverage breakdowns
• Notifications, headlines, push alerts, and social posts produced by or for JQJO

It covers both human-written and AI-assisted work.

2. Core Editorial Principles

Accuracy First

• Facts must be correct, verifiable, and clearly sourced
• We avoid definitive language when evidence is uncertain
• We distinguish between what is known, unknown, and disputed

Independence and Non-Partisanship

• JQJO is not affiliated with any political party, campaign, or government
• No advertiser, sponsor, or investor dictates coverage or bias labels
• Editors disclose relevant conflicts of interest

Fairness and Context

• We represent opposing viewpoints where relevant
• We provide historical and structural context
• We do not cherry-pick facts to fit a narrative

Transparency

• We show how many sources were reviewed
• We explain our bias labels and methodology
• We clearly mark updates and corrections

Accountability

• We fix errors, not hide them
• We respond to serious complaints and correction requests
• We are reachable via real contact details

3. How We Select and Process Stories

Large-Scale Collection

• Up to 100,000 articles per day from thousands of outlets
• Global, national, regional, and niche publications
• Spam, low-quality, and pure propaganda sources are excluded

Clustering Into Single Events

• AI identifies articles referring to the same event
• Articles are grouped into one “story cluster”
• Key facts are extracted at the cluster level

Human-Reviewed Summaries

• Editors review the most relevant and credible articles
• 60-second summaries are written or heavily edited by humans
• Speculative claims and misleading headlines are avoided

Historical Context and Timelines

• Surface-level historical coverage is AI-assisted
• Key milestones and dates are verified manually
• Timelines show how the story developed

4. Sources and Verification

Types of Sources

• Established news organizations
• Government data and official documents
• Court filings and legal records
• Academic research and think-tank reports
• Company filings and financial statements

Corroboration

• Major claims require at least two credible sources
• Single-source claims are clearly labeled
• Disputed facts are not presented as settled

Anonymous Sources

• Used cautiously and evaluated by editors
• Anonymous claims are not repeated as fact
• We explicitly frame attribution when used

Social and User-Generated Content

• Social posts alone are not sufficient verification
• User media is verified through time/location checks
• Viral content without corroboration is treated with caution

5. Use of AI and Automation

What AI Does

• Collects and deduplicates articles
• Clusters stories and drafts summaries
• Flags potential bias signals

What Humans Do

• Decide story importance
• Verify AI output
• Approve summaries, timelines, and labels

Limits of AI

• AI outputs are never published without review
• Human editors resolve nuance, sarcasm, and local context
• Experimental AI features are clearly labeled

6. Bias, Balance, and Labeling

Bias labels reflect framing, not moral judgment.

• Left-leaning
• Center
• Right-leaning

How Bias Is Detected

• Source history and past framing
• Language and tone
• Fact emphasis or omission
• Cross-outlet comparison within a cluster

7. Corrections, Updates, and Retractions

• Errors are corrected as soon as confirmed
• Material changes are noted
• Stories may be updated as events evolve
• Fundamental errors may result in retraction

8. Funding, Ads, and Conflicts of Interest

• Digital advertising
• Potential future subscriptions

We do not sell editorial control.

9. Attribution and Use of Other Outlets’ Work

• Original outlets are always credited
• Direct quotes are attributed
• We do not claim others’ reporting as our own

10. User Comments and Community Content

• Comments reflect users’ views, not JQJO’s
• We moderate hate speech, harassment, and spam
• We may limit comments on sensitive stories

11. Sensitive Topics and Safety

• Minors
• Sexual violence
• Suicide and self-harm
• Terrorism and violent extremism
• Public health emergencies

12. Data, Privacy, and Security

• No publication of private personal data
• No payment for hacked or illegal data
• Whistleblower protections are respected
