Editorial Policy
STM Daily News Editorial Policy
At STM Daily News, we are dedicated to producing journalism that informs, inspires, and uplifts. Our editorial process is grounded in integrity, transparency, and accountability to our readers.
Journalism Code of Ethics
Our reporting follows a clear code of ethics based on truth, fairness, and independence. We verify all information before publication, provide proper attribution, and correct errors promptly and transparently.
We make editorial decisions free from outside influence and clearly distinguish between news, opinion, and sponsored content. We are committed to fairness, inclusion, and respect for individual privacy, striving to tell stories that reflect both accuracy and humanity.
This ethical foundation guides every aspect of our work and supports our policies on Fact-Checking, Attribution, and Corrections detailed below.
Accuracy, Attribution & Corrections
Our Commitment to Accuracy
At STM Daily News, we believe that reliable journalism begins with accuracy. Our mission is to deliver “News You Can Use This Moment!”—stories that are timely, factual, and meaningful. Every piece of content published on our platform undergoes a review process to ensure that the information we share is correct, balanced, and verifiable.

Fact-Checking Standards
Our editorial team conducts careful fact-checking prior to publication. We verify:
The accuracy of names, dates, locations, and statistics
The credibility of quoted sources and cited experts
The reliability of images, videos, and data used within our stories
We rely on reputable primary sources, official reports, and direct communications with individuals or organizations whenever possible. In cases where information is developing, we clearly note that context and update our coverage as new facts emerge.
Attribution and Sourcing
We are committed to transparency in sourcing.
- All direct quotes are attributed to their sources.
When information comes from another publication, we provide proper credit and a link to the original material.
Opinion pieces, press releases, or sponsored content are clearly labeled as such to maintain distinction from our editorial coverage.
STM Daily News values intellectual honesty and respects the work of other journalists and creators. We avoid plagiarism in all forms and ensure that any externally sourced material is used in accordance with copyright and fair use principles.
Corrections and Updates
We recognize that mistakes can happen. When errors are identified—whether factual, typographical, or contextual—we act quickly to correct them.
Minor errors (such as spelling or formatting) are corrected without a formal notice.
Significant corrections (those affecting meaning or accuracy) include an editor’s note indicating what was changed and when.
If a story is updated with new developments, we clearly label the update at the top or bottom of the article.
Readers are encouraged to help us maintain accuracy by notifying our editorial team of any potential errors. Please contact us at editor@stmdailynews.com with the subject line “Correction Request.”
Editorial Independence
STM Daily News maintains full editorial independence. Our writers and editors operate free from outside influence or political bias. Sponsored content and advertising do not affect our editorial decisions or the integrity of our reporting.
