Editorial Standards

News vs Opinion
Clear Editorial Labelling
News
Objective reporting based on verified facts.
Opinion
Opinion articles reflect analysis, interpretation and viewpoints from the Talk Ya True Editorial Team or contributors. They are clearly labelled and should not be confused with factual reporting.
Sources
Evidence-Based Reporting
Preferred Source Types
- Official government documents
- Court documents
- Direct interviews
- Official statements
- Eyewitness accounts
- Recognised experts
- Multiple independent sources whenever possible
Anonymous Sources
We may grant anonymity in limited circumstances where a source faces a credible risk of harm, retaliation or legal exposure. In these cases, identity details are reviewed by editors and the information is corroborated with additional evidence whenever possible before publication.
Use of AI
Technology Supports, Editors Decide
Artificial intelligence tools may assist our newsroom with research support, language refinement and workflow efficiency.
However, AI never replaces editorial judgement.
Every article published by Talk Ya True is reviewed and approved by the Editorial Team before publication.
AI-generated images are always clearly identified whenever used.
Sponsored Content
Separation of Commerce and Editorial
Sponsored or promotional material is clearly labelled and kept separate from independent editorial reporting. Commercial relationships do not determine our editorial decisions, story selection or newsroom priorities.
Corrections
We Welcome Reader Feedback
Talk Ya True welcomes corrections. Readers who identify significant factual errors are encouraged to contact the Editorial Team through our contact channel and review our formal corrections process.
Our Promise to Readers
Our responsibility is to pursue the truth fairly, report accurately, correct mistakes transparently and place the interests of our readers above every other consideration.
These standards are living principles and may be updated as our newsroom practices evolve.
