This page explains, in plain terms, how stories reach the Bulletin and what readers can expect from them.
Where our stories come from
We build our coverage from press releases, public notices and official statements published by government bodies and public institutions. We do not run anonymous sources, and we do not publish rumors. A story that cannot be traced to an official statement does not run.
How they are written
Articles are drafted with the help of artificial intelligence. The software restates the facts of an official release in the Bulletin’s own words, keeps names, figures and dates as given by the agency, and avoids adding claims the source did not make. We do not claim that every piece is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and readers should treat each story as a faithful summary of an official statement rather than as independent reporting.
Sources and credit
We credit the original source at the end of every article. Quotes are limited to short passages taken from the source material.
Photographs
Images are press materials distributed by the agencies and institutions that issue the news. We use them with attribution and only to illustrate the story they accompany. Where an image belongs to its author, the rights stay with that author.
Sponsored content
Anything paid for is labeled “Sponsored” and kept separate from news. See Advertise.
Mistakes and removals
When we make an error, we correct it in the open. If an agency, a person named in a story or a rights holder asks us to take something down, we will review the request promptly and remove the material when the request is justified. Details are on the Corrections & Feedback page.
