Editorial Standards

Effective July 21, 2026.

Our mission

MyControversy examines difficult subjects without pretending that every claim is equally supported. Our standard is: Watch. Compare. Decide.

Facts, allegations, analysis, and opinion

We aim to identify verified facts, clearly attribute allegations, label editorial commentary, and separate reporting from opinion. A point-counterpoint format does not erase differences in evidence quality.

Sourcing

We prefer primary records, official documents, peer-reviewed research, direct interviews, and reputable reporting. We link sources when practical, identify uncertainty, and avoid presenting social-media claims as established facts without corroboration.

Fairness and context

People criticized in our original reporting should receive a reasonable opportunity to respond when feasible. Headlines, images, excerpts, and summaries should reflect the underlying material and not manufacture certainty or outrage.

Sensitive material

Graphic, traumatic, or explicit material should be used only when it adds legitimate public-interest value. We use warnings, contextual descriptions, and non-graphic alternatives where appropriate. We do not publish private identifying information merely to invite harassment.

Conflicts and commerce

Advertising, affiliate links, sponsorships, and personal conflicts should be disclosed. Commercial relationships do not control editorial conclusions.

AI-assisted work

AI tools may assist with research organization, transcription, editing, or drafting, but a human editor is responsible for checking sources, context, wording, and publication decisions.

Corrections

Material factual errors should be corrected promptly and transparently. See our Corrections Policy or email contact@mycontroversy.com.
