Editorial standards & corrections
How Forecourt News handles sources, evidence, analysis, attribution and corrections.
Sources and scope
Use the exact linked source when checking a claim. We distinguish a source’s announcement or forecast from independently measured results. Industry bodies, suppliers and advocacy organizations may have a particular perspective; attribution and operating scope should remain visible.
Review before publication
The publication workflow requires administrator approval of drafts and their source records. Approval is an editorial check, not a guarantee that a source is infallible. Unsupported numbers, invented quotations and unsupported claims of fieldwork do not belong in reporting.
Analysis and updates
Practical frameworks and proposed tests are editorial analysis unless explicitly supported by observed results. Material corrections should explain what changed and why. Publication dates should not be refreshed merely to make an unchanged story appear new.
Commercial context
Coverage does not constitute endorsement, certification or a buying recommendation. Sponsored content and material commercial relationships should be identified.
Request a correction
Identify the article URL, the disputed statement and an exact supporting reference when requesting a correction. Keep personal or confidential site records out of public submissions.
