Trust is the foundation of WorldlyBrief. This policy explains how we choose topics, research and write articles, keep content up to date and handle corrections.
Our standards
- Accuracy: we verify facts using primary sources, official documentation and reputable publications wherever possible.
- Independence: editorial decisions are made by our editors, never by advertisers or partners.
- Clarity: we write in plain language and explain technical terms.
- Balance: we explain limitations, risks and alternatives, not only benefits.
- Originality: we do not plagiarise, and we attribute quotes, data and ideas to their sources.
How we create content
- Topic selection — based on reader questions, emerging trends and gaps in clear, useful information.
- Research — using reliable sources and, where appropriate, hands-on testing or direct experience.
- Writing — structured for easy reading, with key takeaways and practical steps.
- Editing — every article is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, tone and completeness before publication.
- Maintenance — evergreen articles are reviewed periodically and updated when information changes.
Use of AI tools
We may use AI tools to assist with tasks such as research organisation, outlining or proofreading. A human writer and editor are responsible for every article we publish, including verifying facts and ensuring it meets these standards. We do not publish unreviewed AI-generated content.
Sources
We prioritise official bodies, peer-reviewed research, primary documentation and established publications. We link to sources where helpful so readers can check them.
Bylines and dates
Every article shows its author, its original publication date and, when meaningfully revised, its last updated date. Author pages describe each writer’s background and areas of focus.
Advertising and sponsorship
Advertising helps keep WorldlyBrief free. Ads are clearly separated from editorial content. Any sponsored content or affiliate links will be clearly labelled.
YMYL topics
For topics that could affect readers’ health, finances or safety, we apply extra care, avoid definitive advice and recommend consulting qualified professionals.
Corrections policy
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Minor errors (such as typos) are corrected without notice. Significant factual corrections are noted at the end of the article with the date of the correction. To report an error, please use our Contact page and include the article link.
