Editorial Policy & Fact-Checking Standards

1. Commitment to Truth & Objectivity

EU Reporter operates under rigorous fact-checking standards. Every statistical claim, legislative citation, and policy assertion is corroborated against official primary records from EUR-Lex, the European Parliament Legislative Observatory, and EU Commission press releases.

2. Source Verification & Anonymity

We require on-the-record attribution whenever possible. Where sensitive European diplomatic negotiations require anonymous sourcing, information must be independently cross-verified by at least two separate senior officials.

3. Corrections Policy

Accuracy is paramount. When factual errors occur, EU Reporter immediately publishes a clear correction notice at the head of the article, specifying the original text, the corrected detail, and the timestamp of amendment.

4. Separation of Opinion and News

Commentaries, op-eds, and guest perspectives are explicitly labeled with clear badges ("Opinion", "Analysis", "Editorial") to ensure readers distinguish between objective news coverage and personal viewpoints.
