News Encase is committed to responsible digital journalism and aims to provide accurate, relevant and clearly presented information to its readers.
This Editorial Policy explains the principles that guide our content.
Accuracy
Accuracy is a fundamental editorial priority.
We aim to verify important facts before publication using credible and appropriate sources. These may include official government information, regulatory bodies, public authorities, companies and organisations, direct statements, established news organisations and other reliable sources.
For breaking or developing news, some information may initially be incomplete. Articles may therefore be updated as verified information becomes available.
Source Attribution
News Encase aims to identify or appropriately attribute important external information whenever doing so helps readers understand where a claim originated.
Information obtained from press releases, official statements, reports, research or other publications should not be presented in a way that falsely suggests it originated with News Encase.
Originality
Our goal is not simply to reproduce material published elsewhere.
When reporting information already available publicly, we aim to present it clearly while adding useful context, background, explanation, updates or other editorial value where appropriate.
News Encase does not support plagiarism.
Headlines
Headlines should accurately represent the substance of the corresponding article.
We aim to avoid headlines that deliberately mislead readers, exaggerate facts or create a materially false impression simply to generate clicks.
Breaking News
Breaking stories can develop rapidly.
Initial reports may be updated, expanded or corrected as additional reliable information becomes available.
When facts cannot yet be independently established, uncertainty should be communicated rather than speculation being presented as fact.
Corrections
When a significant factual error is identified, News Encase aims to correct it as promptly as reasonably possible.
Material corrections may be acknowledged within the article where appropriate.
Readers can report possible errors through our Contact Us page.
Opinion and Analysis
Where News Encase publishes opinion, commentary or analysis, we aim to distinguish such material from straightforward news reporting.
Opinions expressed by individual contributors do not necessarily represent the position of News Encase.
Artificial Intelligence
News Encase may use AI-assisted technology to support aspects of its publishing workflow, including research assistance, editing, translation, summarisation, headline development and creation of original illustrations.
AI-generated output can contain errors. Editorial responsibility therefore remains with News Encase, and material intended for publication should be reviewed before it goes live.
AI tools should not be used to fabricate quotations, sources, interviews, events or other factual information.
Images
Images and visual material should be selected responsibly.
News Encase aims to use original, licensed, appropriately reusable, official or otherwise legally permissible visual material.
AI-generated editorial illustrations may also be used where appropriate.
Independence and Advertising
Editorial coverage should not be determined solely by an advertiser’s commercial interests.
Advertising and sponsored material should be distinguishable from independent editorial content where required.
Participation in advertising programmes, including contextual advertising services, does not give advertisers control over News Encase’s editorial conclusions.
Sensitive Content
Extra care should be taken when reporting deaths, accidents, violent incidents, children, victims of crime and other sensitive matters.
Graphic or unnecessarily intrusive material should be avoided when it does not contribute meaningful journalistic value.
Updates to This Policy
News Encase may revise this Editorial Policy as its publishing practices, technology or applicable requirements evolve.
Readers are encouraged to revisit this page periodically for updates.
