Carib Global News – Publication Policies
Accuracy & Verification
Carib Global News prioritizes factual, verified reporting across all desks. All articles must be checked against at least two credible sources whenever possible. Statistics, quotes, and official statements must be attributed clearly. Rumors, unverified social media claims, or unclear data will not be published.
Editorial Independence
Our newsroom operates free from political, commercial, or personal influence. We do not endorse political candidates, and no advertiser or partner may influence editorial judgment. All sponsored content must be labeled clearly.
Ethical Reporting
We uphold internationally recognized journalism standards, including:
- Respect for privacy
- No discrimination or bias
- No sensationalism
- Protection of minors and vulnerable individuals
- Responsible reporting on crime, trauma, and ongoing investigations
We avoid graphic content unless absolutely necessary for public interest.
Transparency & Corrections
If an error is detected in a published story, a correction will be issued promptly with a clear note indicating what was updated. Major revisions will be timestamped.
Sources & Attribution
Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when:
- The information is vital
- The source may face risk if identified
- The newsroom can independently verify the credibility of the information
Public officials, law enforcement, and organizations must be clearly identified by name and role.
Conflict of Interest
Writers and editors must disclose any personal or financial conflicts relating to a story. No staff member may report on topics where they have a vested interest.
AI-Assisted Content
AI tools may be used for drafting or research, but all final reporting must be reviewed and approved by a human editor. AI-generated images or manipulated visuals will not be used unless explicitly labeled.
User-Generated Content
Content from readers or contributors will be vetted before publication. Carib Global News reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity, accuracy, or legal safety.
Privacy & Data Protection
We comply with data protection guidelines and never publish private data (addresses, phone numbers, medical information, etc.) without explicit consent or overwhelming public interest.
Copyright & Licensing
All images, videos, and graphics must be:
- Owned by Carib Global News
- Licensed for editorial use
- Provided with clear attribution
No unauthorized use of copyrighted materials is permitted.
Sensitive Topics
Coverage involving crime, death, sexual assault, or mental health will be handled with care, emphasizing:
- Verified facts
- Respect for victims

- Avoiding re-traumatization of affected communities
Diversity & Inclusion

Editorial Review Process
Every article undergoes:
- Fact-checking
- Editorial review
- SEO optimization

Breaking news may be published quickly but updated continuously as verified information emerges.
