Editorial Ethics
RevenueInfoTech covers developments in technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software and the digital industry. These standards describe how our editorial desk should handle news leads and published material.
1. Source and attribution
- RSS feeds are used to discover potential stories; a feed item is a research lead, not a finished RevenueInfoTech article.
- Before an item is selected for the homepage, the editor should open the original source and check the headline, date and material claims.
- We identify and link the original publisher or primary source. We do not present another publisher's reporting as our own.
- We do not copy full articles or use images unless we have permission, a suitable licence or another valid legal basis.
2. Accuracy and context
- We aim to distinguish confirmed facts from estimates, allegations, vendor claims and speculation.
- Numbers, dates, product names and quotations should be checked against the linked source before publication.
- Summaries should be written in original language and add useful context rather than merely reproducing a feed excerpt.
- We do not claim independent testing, interviews or expert review unless those activities actually took place and can be described.
3. Use of automation and AI
Automated feeds help identify possible stories. AI tools may assist with research or drafting, but generated material must be checked and edited by a person before publication. We do not knowingly publish invented sources, quotations, author credentials, test results or statistics.
4. Commercial transparency
Advertising, sponsorships and affiliate relationships should be clearly disclosed where applicable. Commercial relationships must not be presented as independent editorial findings. See our Sponsorship Disclosure.
5. Corrections and reader feedback
If we identify a material error, we should correct it promptly and explain significant changes where appropriate. To report an error or attribution concern, use our Contact page and include the relevant URL and details.
