Editorial standards
Editorial standards are at the core of HNGN's business philosophy. HNGN is committed to treating its readers fairly and giving them the best possible information on the news we cover – or the best we can learn about it, with our reporters and editors performing a high level of due diligence on the credibility of our sources. The same due diligence is applied when reporting on news that originates on social media. We are also upfront with our readers about what we do not know, or what is generally unknown, when reporting a piece of news. We believe in providing the opportunity for full and fair comment for all parties involved in an article, and having a neutral tone in our published work. There is no agenda for us, other than an unwavering commitment to seeking, and reporting, the truth. At HNGN, we understand that safeguarding individual rights may, at times, clash with the public's right to information. Consequently, we face the challenge of making tough and oftentimes sensitive decisions that cannot always be perfect. But our editorial processes ensure that the lessons from those mistakes, whether our own or those of other sectors of the media industry, are cascaded across our various newsrooms to give our editorial staff the best opportunity to learn from them. The editorial leadership, where deemed necessary, makes changes to internal processes to avoid such incidents.
Corrections Policy
When we make mistakes, it is our policy to correct our errors, large and small, as soon as we become aware of them — in text, picture captions and videos. We will note the corrections clearly on the story by adding a trash line and a time stamp. Headlines & Global News takes complaints about editorial content seriously. If you believe a story we have published is inaccurate, please contact the editorial team. You can email: corrections@hngn.com
Generative AI Policy
Currently, HNGN does not use or employ generative AI tools of any kind in the writing, research, editing, or any other integral aspects of the publishing process. Likewise, HNGN will refrain from publishing AI-generated images, whether they be video or still pictures, that closely resemble real-life, unless an AI-generated image is itself the focus of a news story on its use or creation.
