Editorial & AI Policy

We're transparent about how our journalism is made: sourced from public data, drafted with AI assistance, and verified by human editors before it publishes.

Where our facts come from

Our reporting is built on primary, public data — central-bank and government releases (such as the Federal Reserve, SEC EDGAR, BLS, Treasury, and the Bank of Korea), official company disclosures, and licensed market-data APIs. Facts and figures are not copyrightable; our sentences are our own.

Every fact is cross-checked against at least two independent sources before an article enters our publishing queue, and each piece lists its sources at the bottom.

How AI is used — and where humans are required

Articles may be drafted with AI assistance. Nothing publishes without passing our editorial gate and human review.
  • Drafting: AI helps structure and write a first draft from verified data, following our Claim / Evidence / So-what format.
  • Guardrails: automated checks flag unsupported claims, over-stated headline numbers, quotation accuracy, and similarity to source text.
  • Human review: an editor verifies the facts, sources, and framing before publication. The byline reflects who is accountable for the piece.

Opinion vs. reporting

Opinion pieces carry a named author and an Opinion label; the views expressed are the author's own. News reporting is published under our editorial byline. We never blur the two.

Copyright & corrections

We quote sparingly and always with attribution, and we link back to primary sources rather than republishing others' work. Spotted an error? Email corrections@brt.news and we'll correct the record promptly.
