Editorial standards
What we publish, what we do not, and how we label uncertainty.
Sourcing
Tier A is an official government or agency source. Tier B is a known reliable directory or publication. Tier C is a community submission. Nothing publishes on Tier C alone.
Labels
Confirmed, Developing, Unconfirmed. Development projects carry their own scale from Rumored through Open. We never label a business confirmed on a single unofficial signal.
What we do not publish
No arrests, mugshots, jail records or crime coverage. No obituaries. No minors named in any incident context. No ratings, rankings or endorsements of officials, candidates or congregations.
Advertising and editorial
Sponsors have no influence over content. Paid placement is always labelled. The Elections section is never sponsored and we do not accept political advertising.
