The Transparency & Trust Commitment of Worldys News exists to make clear not only what we publish, but how and why we publish it. Trust is earned through visible standards, not implied credibility. This page summarizes the principles that govern our relationship with readers.

1. Truth Before Speed

We prioritize verified reality over immediacy. When facts are uncertain, we say so. When information changes, we update. We do not publish speculation to fill gaps in early reporting.

2. Visible Accountability

Our internal processes are made public through:

• Fact-Checking Policy
• Editorial Guidelines & Ethics Policy
• Corrections & Updates Policy
• Editorial Transparency Log
• Ownership & Funding Disclosure

These documents are not symbolic — they are binding obligations.

3. Independence Without Exception

Reporting is insulated from donors, governments, advertisers, and political actors. Commercial interests will never dictate coverage, framing, or omission, in accordance with our Advertising & Sponsorship Policy.

4. Evidence Over Narrative

We do not shape facts to fit trends, ideology, or social reaction. Claims must survive scrutiny before publication and must remain defensible after publication.

5. Correction Over Concealment

When errors occur, they are corrected publicly — not silently buried, edited out, or rewritten without record. Revisions appear both in-article and in the Editorial Transparency Log.

6. No Hidden Influence

We do not disguise sponsored content, algorithmic text, or interest-driven material. If AI contributes to production, human oversight governs final content under the AI Usage & Human Oversight Policy.

7. Readers Are Witnesses, Not Targets

We do not track users for manipulation or exploit engagement patterns for influence. Data collection is limited and disclosed transparently in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

8. Public Interest as the Final Filter

Stories exist to inform — not to entertain, provoke, or affirm bias. If a story does not serve the public interest or meet evidentiary standards, it does not get published.

This commitment is not a marketing claim — it is an enforceable editorial contract with our readers.
