Editorial Principles
Every factual claim must be traceable to a verifiable source. No exceptions.
Editorial decisions are made free from commercial, political, or organizational influence.
We disclose our methods, sources, and corrections openly.
Complex science explained clearly — without losing accuracy.
We own our mistakes. Corrections are documented publicly.
We try to be right. When we're wrong, we say so.
Our Publication Pipeline
Initial source verification and claim assessment before writing begins. Identifies factual weaknesses and flags potential issues early.
Article drafted following approved outline and pre-check findings. Writers follow our style guide and accessibility standards.
Full fact verification of the completed draft. Academic Expert may veto on scientific accuracy. Content blocked if below the 90% accuracy threshold.
Language, grammar, style, and clarity review. Ensures consistent tone and Burmese Unicode compliance.
Editorial approval requires agreement from both the Managing Editor and Section Editor. Either may send back for revision.
Board Head exercises final veto before publication. Checks for overall coherence, sensitivity, and editorial alignment.
Our Minimum Accuracy Standard
Every piece must meet a minimum 90% factual accuracy score as assessed by the Fact-Check Team before it can proceed past Stage 3. Content falling below this threshold is returned for revision or withdrawn. This standard is non-negotiable.
Verification Tools We Use
Our fact-checkers draw on peer-reviewed databases, academic archives, source evaluation frameworks, and professional OSINT tools to verify every claim.
