Editorial policy

Honest Regional Report aims to make regional subjects clear without making them sound simpler than they are. Our editorial choices favour accurate description, open corrections and a visible distinction between independent coverage and paid collaboration.

Accuracy and context

We check names, descriptions and claims against suitable material before publication, and take care to show what a document or statement does and does not establish. When a subject is disputed or incomplete, we say so and avoid presenting an interpretation as settled fact.

Independence

Editorial decisions are separate from partnership arrangements. A partner cannot buy a favourable conclusion, control independent coverage or remove an editorial finding. We consider whether a proposed collaboration is relevant to readers and whether its terms can be explained plainly.

Corrections

If you spot an error, contact us with the article title, the passage in question and any useful supporting context. We review specific concerns and correct material when warranted, making clear what has changed rather than quietly leaving a known error in place.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner material is clearly labelled wherever it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where that applies, the image is identified as AI-generated and is not presented as a documentary photograph.
