Trust is the foundation of our journalism. The Metapress newsroom operates with complete editorial independence. Our reporters and editors do not accept gifts, junkets, or compensation from the companies, political organizations, and industries they cover.
Sourcing and Fact-Checking
Every story we publish goes through a rigorous editorial review process. We rely on primary sources, on-the-record interviews, and verified public data. When we use anonymous sources, it is only because the information is of overwhelming public interest and cannot be obtained any other way, and the source’s identity is always known to our senior editors.
Attribution and Plagiarism
We do not steal other people’s work. When Metapress builds upon the reporting of another news organization, we explicitly name the outlet in the text and provide a direct HTML link to their original work. Plagiarism is a fireable offense in our newsroom.
Artificial Intelligence
We do not publish AI-generated reporting. While our journalists may use technology to assist in data analysis, translation, or research organization, every word published on Metapress is written, reviewed, and approved by human journalists and editors.
Advertising Independence
Metapress is funded by advertising, but advertisers have no say in what we cover or how we cover it. Any sponsored content or advertorial material on the site is strictly partitioned from our journalism and is clearly labeled as “Sponsored” so readers are never confused about what is news and what is an advertisement.
