Editorial Policy
Transparency, accuracy, and integrity are the pillars of everything we publish. Here is how we uphold those values.
Editorial Independence
MetropolisDaily maintains complete editorial independence from advertisers, sponsors, and business partners. Our editorial decisions are made solely by our editorial team, without influence from commercial interests.
Sponsored content is always clearly labeled and separated from editorial content. Our readers deserve to know the difference between journalism and advertising, and we are committed to maintaining that distinction.
Standards & Practices
All content published by MetropolisDaily adheres to the highest journalistic standards. Our writers are expected to verify information through multiple sources, attribute all quotes accurately, and present balanced perspectives on complex issues.
We do not plagiarize, fabricate, or misrepresent information. Any use of AI-assisted tools in our editorial process is disclosed and subject to human editorial oversight.
Fact-Checking
Every article undergoes a rigorous fact-checking process before publication. Our dedicated fact-checking team verifies claims, statistics, dates, and attributions against primary sources.
When we cannot independently verify a claim, we clearly attribute it to its source and note any limitations in our verification process.
Corrections
We take errors seriously. When we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently. All corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with a clear explanation of what was changed and why.
Readers who identify errors in our reporting are encouraged to contact our editorial team at corrections@metropolisdaily.com. We review every submission and respond within 48 hours.
Ethics
Our journalists do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from sources or subjects of coverage. We disclose any potential conflicts of interest and recuse staff members from stories where personal relationships could compromise objectivity.
We respect the privacy of individuals and only publish personal information when it is relevant to the public interest. We are committed to representing diverse voices and perspectives in our coverage.
