Publishing Policy for Publications

Your readers trust your editorial judgment. A publishing policy puts your sourcing, corrections, and disclosure practices on the record — not just in your heads.

Build Your Policy

Why You Need One

Sourcing standards live in tribal knowledge

Your publishing standards exist in email threads and Slack messages. New hires guess at them. A policy makes implicit rules explicit.

Corrections without a system

When errors surface, the response depends on who notices and how they feel. A published corrections policy removes ambiguity.

AI use without disclosure

Your team is already using AI tools. Your audience deserves to know when and how — before they find out some other way.

What Your Policy Covers

Sourcing & attribution

How you verify information, cite sources, and handle anonymous sourcing.

Corrections & updates

Your process for acknowledging and fixing errors in published work.

AI use disclosure

When and how AI tools are used in your content creation process, and how you tell readers.

Editorial independence

How publishing decisions are insulated from business, advertising, and outside pressure.

Advertising separation

How you distinguish editorial content from sponsored or paid placements.
