Editorial Policy
Editorial policy and newsroom standards
How Okay News handles verification, accuracy, corrections, sourcing, context, and public trust.
Every story published on Okay News is subject to verification before publication. The newsroom does not publish unconfirmed facts, altered quotes, or misleading headlines.
Standards in practice
