Editorial Policy
Purpose: Tesla News Daily is dedicated to providing accurate, independent, and in-depth coverage of Tesla—including vehicles, software, energy, and Elon Musk. Our policy sets standards for sourcing, verification, ethics, transparent AI use, and accountability.
1. Accuracy & Fact‑Checking
We rely exclusively on verifiable information (e.g., official statements, SEC filings, expert interviews). Every fact is checked by a second editor before publication. We publish corrections promptly, with dates and details of what changed.
2. Transparency & Attribution
All sources are cited. When using anonymous or confidential sources, we explain why identity protection is necessary. Sponsored or affiliate content is clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial judgment, consistent with Trust Project transparency standards.
3. Editorial Independence
Our coverage is entirely independent. Advertisers and sponsors have no role in story selection, content angles, or editing.
4. Conflict of Interest
Staff must disclose any financial or personal interests in Tesla (e.g. stock holdings, affiliate relationships). Disclosures are included within relevant articles as required.
5. Responsible Use of AI
We use AI tools for research, summarising documents, and drafting outlines—but no article is written or edited solely by AI. A human journalist authors, reviews, and fact-checks all content. We follow industry guidance, such as AP’s AI policy and insights from Journalist’s Resource on transparency in AI journalism.
6. Entertainment & Legal Disclaimer
The information on Tesla News Daily is provided for entertainment purposes only. It should not be construed as financial, legal, investment, or professional advice. Some content is generated with AI assistance and may be inaccurate. We make no representations or warranties regarding completeness, accuracy, legality, usefulness, or reliability. Use it at your own risk. See our Terms of Use. © 2025.
7. Ethical Tone & Balance
News articles are written to be objective and fair. Opinion pieces are clearly labelled. We avoid sensationalising and strive for diverse viewpoints, consistent with general ethical standards in journalism (Journalism ethics).
8. Corrections & Accountability
Readers can report errors via our contact email. All corrections are made promptly and listed in a public Corrections log that notes what changed and when.
9. Attribution & Authorship
Each article features the author’s byline (e.g., Staff Writer, Contributor) and clearly displays dates published and last updated.
10. Reader Engagement & Moderation
We welcome respectful engagement. Commenters must adhere to civility—harassment, hate speech, and personal attacks are not tolerated.
11. Editorial Roles
Editor-in-Chief: Responsible for final editorial decisions.
Managing Editors: Oversee verification, style, ethics.
Contributors: Must follow sourcing guidelines and disclose any conflicts.
12. Diversity & Inclusion
We actively seek diverse voices in terms of gender, background, nationality, and viewpoint to ensure broad and fair coverage.
13. Policy Updates
This policy is reviewed at least once a year or whenever major changes in media law or ethics occur. The “Last Updated” date will reflect the most recent revision.
