Editorial Policy

Our purpose

Thread Times exists to give readers accurate, useful news and to explain it clearly. We choose stories by how much they matter to our readers, not by how many clicks they might get.

Accuracy and sourcing

• We rely on primary sources: official notices, government websites, court orders, filings, data releases and on-record statements.
• We link to the official source wherever we can, so readers can check it themselves.
• We do not present rumours, leaks or guesses as fact. If something has not been announced, we say so.
• Figures, dates and names are checked by a second editor before publication.

Fairness and balance

On contested issues we report the main positions fairly and give people who are criticised a chance to respond. We separate news reporting from analysis and opinion, and label explainers and analysis clearly.

Independence

Our editors decide what we cover. We do not accept payment, gifts or favours in exchange for coverage. Any sponsored content will be clearly labelled and kept separate from our journalism.

Updates and dates

News changes. When an official notice or new information changes a story, we update the article and show the updated date and time at the top. Articles keep their original publication date.

Images

We use our own graphics, licensed images or images from official sources with credit. We do not alter news photographs in a way that changes their meaning.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and transparently under our Corrections Policy.
