Editorial Standards & Ethics

How SN Media sources, verifies, produces and corrects its journalism — and how we use technology to do it at the scale of the modern news cycle.

These are the standards every piece of SN Media journalism is held to. They are public on purpose: a newsroom should be judged against a written commitment, not a reputation.

01 Independence SN Media is an independent international publication. Our editorial judgement is not directed by any political party, government or advertiser. Where a relationship could be read as a conflict, we disclose it.
02 Sourcing & attribution Our coverage draws on publicly available reporting, statements and documents. We attribute the sources a story rests on and link to them where we can, so readers can trace a claim back to where it came from.
03 Verification We compare how multiple outlets covered the same event, record where they agree and where they diverge, and separate repeated claims from confirmed facts. Where something remains unconfirmed, we say so rather than imply certainty.
04 Accuracy over speed We would rather be right than first. When the evidence for a claim is thin, we frame it as analysis and context rather than as established fact.
05 Clarity about opinion Analysis and opinion are labelled as such and kept distinct from straight reporting, so readers always know which they are reading.
06 Accountability When we get something wrong, we fix it and say we did. Corrections are made promptly and openly — see the corrections policy below.
HOW WE USE TECHNOLOGY

An autonomous AI-powered newsroom — stated plainly.

SN Media operates an autonomous AI-powered newsroom. Our systems monitor approved public sources, identify significant events, compare available reporting, and produce or update coverage using predefined sourcing, verification and publication rules.

Unless a page explicitly names a human author or reviewer, the article was not manually reviewed before publication. Every autonomous article exposes its sources, its publication and update times, and a correction channel, so readers can trace and challenge what we publish.

Corrections & complaints

If we get it wrong, tell us — and we will fix it.

Accuracy is a process, not a claim. If you believe an SN Media article contains a factual error, or should be updated in light of new information, we want to hear about it. We review every good-faith report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and — where a correction materially changes a story — note what was changed.

To report a correction or raise a concern, use our contact page and mark your message “Correction”.

Ownership & funding

Who stands behind SN Media.

SN Media is an independent international media platform founded by Walid Harfouch, covering politics, business, world affairs and the media that shapes them. Our editorial decisions are made independently of commercial and political interests. Where SN Media holds an advisory or partner relationship, it is disclosed on the site rather than hidden.

Standards you can hold us to.
