Editorial Policy

Research before publication

Stories should be based on sources a reader can trust: product documentation, public filings, first-hand use when it exists, and reporting that can be checked. Speculation should be labeled. If a claim cannot be supported, it should not run.

Human review

Drafts should be reviewed before they are published. AI tools may help with research notes, outlines, or production tasks. Published work still needs a person responsible for the facts, the framing, and the final language.

Corrections and updates

Factual errors should be corrected when they are found. Articles may be updated as products change, prices move, or a better explanation becomes available. Material updates should be visible, not silently swapped in as if the original story never existed.

Recommendations

A recommendation should say why. Readers should be able to see the tradeoffs, not just a winner. DigitalMorrow does not claim an independent testing lab or a hands-on review program unless that work is actually happening.

Commercial relationships

Advertising, affiliate links, sponsored stories, and partnerships should be disclosed. Money cannot be the hidden reason a product appears in a story. The advertising disclosure explains how those relationships should be presented.

What we will not invent

The publication will not invent awards, readership figures, years of experience, offices, or product tests. If a later reporting project includes hands-on evaluation, that should be described in the story that used it.
