Ghostlines Network Radio / editorial policies
THE STANDARD IS TRUST.
Proposed newsroom policies for accuracy, fairness, integrity, transparency, privacy and corrections.
Newsroom policy / proposed for adoption
Accuracy, independence, and accountability
Verification
Confirm significant claims with primary sources or multiple reliable independent sources whenever possible; distinguish allegation from verified fact.
Corrections
Review substantiated error reports, correct material inaccuracies promptly, and clearly identify major post-publication corrections.
Conflicts of interest
Disclose relevant relationships with Ghostlines brands, partners, advertisers and subjects. Editors decide whether recusal is necessary.
Editorial vs. commercial
Label company announcements, sponsored material and advertisements clearly. Clients cannot approve independent investigative findings.
Interviews and recording
Respect recording consent, venue rules, event permissions, privacy and applicable laws. Do not fabricate interviews or quotes.
Photos, audio, and AI
Verify rights and authenticity, properly license audio/music and clearly label materially synthetic content where audience understanding requires it.
Contact
Request a correction
To report a factual error, send the headline or URL, the disputed statement, supporting documentation and your contact information to media@ghostlinesstudios.com. A request does not guarantee a change; all requests will be reviewed against available evidence once the newsroom is operational.
This is proposed public-facing policy text. Formal adoption remains subject to approval of the division's editorial charter by the authorized owner.
