Ethics & Method

Posthype only works if you can trust the numbers. This page is the contract: how we source what we publish, the things we will not do, and how to tell us when we get it wrong.

How we report

We match the reporting to the claim. Straightforward news may rest on an authoritative announcement or credible report, with clear attribution. Headline numbers are checked against their originating source when accessible. Legal, financial, disputed, safety, and reputational claims require stronger corroboration. We distinguish what was announced, reported, estimated, alleged, and confirmed, and we link readers to the sources that matter.

What we will never do

We never invent a source, quote, statistic, image credit, or “person familiar with the talks.” If the evidence does not support a claim, we narrow it, remove it, or hold the story. We credit publications that originate reporting and do not imply independent confirmation we have not performed.

On AI

We use software — including AI tools — to help research, draft, and fact-check, held to the same standard as a staff writer. A human is accountable for everything we publish. No story runs because a model produced it; it runs because it's true, sourced, and useful. The no-fabrication rule above applies to our tools exactly as it applies to our people.

Independence & disclosure

Posthype makes its editorial decisions for Posthype. We do not sell coverage, and a commercial relationship cannot guarantee or suppress a story. Posthype shares ownership with Influship. If we cover Influship, a company in which a writer has a material interest, or reporting that relies on data supplied by an affiliated company, we disclose that relationship in the story.

Corrections

We correct the record fast and in the open. If we get a number or a fact wrong, we fix it and note what changed at the foot of the story. Spot something off — a figure, a name, a misread? Tell us and we'll chase it: editorial@posthype.news.
