Editorial policy

Prime News Review aims to make careful, readable observations about news language. We separate explanation from opinion, state the limits of an example, and do not present a reading of wording as verification of the underlying events.

Accuracy and context

We check names, quotations, and factual descriptions against the material available to us before publication. Examples are used to explain a point, not to imply that one phrase reveals a whole newsroom's intentions. We distinguish what a text says from what a reader may infer, and make uncertainty clear when context is incomplete.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for the publication's readers. A partnership or commercial arrangement does not determine the conclusion of an editorial piece. If a relationship is relevant to a published item, it is disclosed with that item.

Corrections

If a published piece contains a meaningful error, we correct it and make the change clear where readers encounter the affected information. Readers can send a correction through the Contact page, with the article and the point in question identified.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from editorial work. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; when an illustration is AI-generated, it is labelled as such. Illustrations do not serve as evidence for a factual claim.

Our point of view

Words shape the first impression

A headline or label can make a complicated story feel settled before the details appear. We read those choices closely, with room for uncertainty and context.
