Editorial policy

How we choose stories, check facts and keep opinion separate from reporting.

Choosing stories

We follow the stories readers are searching for and talking about across our sections. We cover a story when we can add something useful: context, an explanation, or a clear view on what it means.

Sources and fact-checking

Binatec Pulse does not report events first-hand. Every fact in a story comes from published reporting, official statements, filings or data, and each of those sources is linked in the story and listed under Sources. When sources disagree, we say so. We do not publish claims we cannot attribute.

Opinion and commentary

Stories labelled Commentary or Opinion contain the author's view. The facts in them are still sourced; the conclusions are the author's own. Opinion pieces about named people, politics, health, money or tragedies are reviewed by an editor before publication.

Tools we use

We use software, including AI tools, to track trending topics, gather sources and help draft stories. Automated checks confirm that every story links its sources and meets our standards before it is published.

Images

We use photographs we are licensed to publish: Creative Commons and public domain images with the photographer and licence credited, official press images, and our own graphics. We do not publish AI-generated images of real people.

Independence and ethics

Pulse is published by Binatec Agency. We do not accept payment for coverage. Where a story involves a company with a commercial relationship to Binatec, we disclose it in the story.

Corrections

If we get something wrong we correct it and note the correction in the story. See Corrections to report an error.
