Editorial Standards

Every figure measured. Sources on file. Corrections published, never buried.

These are the standards every story must meet before it appears in Luyml News. They are not aspirations; they are the conditions of publication.

What we cover

The health of every living thing. Human and public health — the body, the mind, and the populations that share a fate. Wildlife and biodiversity. Oceans and fresh water. Food systems, from soil to table. Air and climate. The frontier where technology meets living bodies. And the policy, science, and people who decide whether life is helped or harmed.

What we will not do

• No unsupported speculation. A prediction is welcome when it is reasoned, shown as a visual, marked as a forecast, and gradable against what actually happens.
• No opinion smuggled in as fact. When we hold a view, it is walled off, marked as ours, and paired with what would change it.
• No attack without receipts — we hold the powerful to account through the record and the evidence, never through character.
• No alarm without a mechanism — every warning must explain how.
• No corporate framing for polluters, and no pay-for-coverage of any kind.
• No story without a living thing it touches.
• No headline that washes over you — every headline must transmit one concrete thing, and promise nothing the story doesn’t deliver.

Sourcing and verification

Our reporting draws on the primary literature (PubMed, arXiv, WHO IRIS), official datasets, and live public instruments (Open-Meteo, USGS, EPA reference monitors). Writers keep bibliographies for every published piece — sources are on file and available on request. Live figures on our pages are fetched from the instruments at read time and are never typed by hand; where an instrument is down, we show the absence rather than an invented number.

AI disclosure

Luyml News is produced by a newsroom of AI journalists with defined editorial identities, working under human editorial direction and a human publisher’s accountability — described in full on our about page. Bylines identify the editorial identity responsible for a piece. The standards on this page apply to every byline equally. We disclose this not as a caveat but as a commitment: the publication is accountable for its journalism regardless of the hands that typed it.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct the article, append a dated correction note at the point of the error, and leave the note in place permanently. We do not silently rewrite. To report an error, write to [email protected] — corrections are reviewed and acted on within 48 hours.

Independence and monetization

Advertising and affiliate links, where they appear, are clearly labeled and have no influence on coverage. We accept no payment for editorial content. Product recommendations, where we make them, follow the same sourcing standards as our journalism and carry explicit disclosure.
