At NewsOfFortWorth.com, our mission is to provide accurate, reliable, and community-focused news. Our editorial guidelines ensure that all content we publish meets high standards of journalism, integrity, and fairness.

1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking

We are committed to providing factually correct information. Every story is carefully researched and verified using reliable sources before publication. Errors, if discovered, are corrected promptly and transparently.

2. Objectivity and Neutrality

Our reporting is unbiased and impartial. We aim to present all sides of a story without favoring any individual, organization, or political group. Editorial opinions are clearly labeled and separate from news reporting.

3. Source Transparency

We identify our sources whenever possible. Anonymous sources may be used only when necessary to protect their safety or confidentiality, and the information they provide is verified independently.

4. Ethical Reporting

• Avoiding plagiarism and properly attributing content.

• Respecting privacy and avoiding unnecessary intrusion.

6. Corrections and Retractions

If inaccurate information is published, we will issue a correction or retraction promptly. Corrections are clearly indicated and linked to the original article whenever possible.

7. Sponsored Content and Advertising

Sponsored or paid content is clearly labeled as such. Editorial independence is always maintained — advertising does not influence our news reporting.

8. Content Submission Guidelines

We welcome community contributions, tips, and press releases. Submissions are reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and compliance with our editorial standards. Not all submissions are guaranteed publication.
