Editorial Policy
At Old Glory Chronicle, we believe that good journalism isn’t just about what you cover. It’s about how you cover it. Our editorial policy is built to keep us sharp, honest, and aligned with the values that brought us here in the first place: accuracy, fairness, and respect for the reader.
How We Choose What to Cover
Not every story is worth chasing. We focus on coverage that adds value, not just volume. Our editorial team selects stories based on relevance, clarity, and impact. We aim to provide our readers with news that explains, informs, and reveal; not content that stokes outrage or wastes time.
We don’t jump on every trending topic. We look for stories with substance, context, and something useful to say. That means more depth, fewer distractions, and a better experience for our readers.
How We Edit and Review Content
Everything we publish goes through multiple human eyes before it goes live. We check for accuracy, tone, balance, and overall quality. We ask hard questions: Is this story complete?
Are the facts clear? Are we being fair?
We don’t publish content that hasn’t been vetted thoroughly. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t run. Simple as that.
Our Line Between News and Opinion
Opinion has its place, but not at the expense of clarity. When we run commentary or analysis, it’s labeled clearly and written with care. We don’t do rants. We don’t blur the lines. And we don’t let commentary sneak into straight news coverage.
Readers should always know what they’re looking at. If it’s an opinion, we’ll say so. If it’s news, it’s grounded in facts.
Corrections and Accountability
Mistakes happen, but hiding them isn’t our style. If we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and clearly. Corrections are noted, and changes to a story are explained so readers know what was updated and why.
We hold ourselves to the same standard we expect from others: own your errors, make them right, and do better next time.
Editorial Independence
Our editors and writers are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or political groups. Our coverage is shaped by what matters to our readers, not by outside agendas. We don’t sell space in our stories. We don’t pull punches. And we don’t take orders from anyone who isn’t in the newsroom.
Trust isn’t something we assume; it’s something we earn every day. And we protect it by sticking to a clear editorial code that puts readers first, always.
