Editorial standards & policies

Njund’s editorial work is independent. Revenue relationships do not determine what we cover, the opinions we publish or how we report a story.

Sponsored work is clearly identified as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored Content,” and editorial teams retain final control. Articles containing affiliate links disclose that relationship within the content.

Contributors must disclose financial interests, business relationships or partnerships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing coverage. When a conflict cannot be managed transparently, the contributor should not cover that subject.

Generative AI may assist research, brainstorming and production, but it does not replace human reporting, critical judgment, creativity or final accountability.

AI-assisted material is held to the same verification and editorial standards as other work. Significant use beyond routine grammar assistance or brainstorming is disclosed to the audience.

Factual errors are corrected promptly and material corrections are explained. Developing stories may be updated as reliable information changes.

Published work is part of the public record. We remove it only in exceptional circumstances, such as a legal requirement or a serious personal-safety risk—not at the request of an advertiser or business partner.

We seek information from varied, credible sources. Anonymous sourcing may be used when it is necessary to report information in the public interest; we verify that information and protect the source’s identity. Njund does not pay sources for information.

Advertising must be honest, legal, transparent and clearly distinguishable from editorial work. Njund may reject an advertisement for any reason.
