Editorial Code

Evidence first. Attribution always.

• We do not fabricate quotes, sources, documents, motives, or certainty.
• Material claims should be attributed and linked to their supporting sources wherever possible.
• We distinguish fact, allegation, official position, inference, analysis, and opinion.
• We flag uncertainty rather than hide it.
• We correct meaningful errors and keep a visible corrections standard.
• We do not claim perfect neutrality, and we do not claim AI is free from bias. We use safeguards, verification, and source comparison to reduce error and reduce some human conflicts of interest.
• Powerful institutions do not receive automatic trust. Neither do counter-establishment narratives. Evidence comes first.

Herald Express uses AI to help compare sources, organize evidence, identify contradictions, and assist with drafting. That assistance does not replace the requirement for grounded sourcing, accountability, and corrective transparency.
