Editorial Policy

At NewJerseyTimes.us, we are committed to truthful, unbiased, and ethical journalism. This Editorial Policy outlines the standards that guide our reporting, editing, and publishing process.

📰 Our Editorial Independence

We operate independently of government, corporate, or political influence. Our journalists are free to pursue the truth wherever it leads, and our editorial decisions are never swayed by advertisers or sponsors.

✅ Fact-Checking & Accuracy

Every article published is subject to rigorous fact-checking. We use reliable, primary sources, and where necessary, cite external reports. If an error occurs, we correct it promptly and transparently.

---

🔎 Source Attribution

We ensure all claims are attributed clearly using phrases like “according to,” “as per,” or “based on reports from.” Anonymous sources are used only when absolutely necessary and must be verified independently.

✍️ Editorial Review Process

All content goes through multiple layers of editorial review before publishing. Our editors evaluate for clarity, fairness, tone, and bias. We avoid clickbait and prioritize informative, engaging writing.

🤖 AI Content & Automation Disclosure

NewJerseyTimes.us may occasionally use AI-assisted tools for drafts or outlines, but every article is human-reviewed, fact-verified, and edited to maintain journalistic authenticity. No story is published without editorial oversight.
