Editorial Policy

These are the standards we use to report, source, review, and label our coverage.

Independence

Northstar Herald operates independently. Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external commercial interests.

Accuracy

We verify information against multiple credible sources before publication. When information is uncertain, we say so explicitly and correct errors when we confirm them.

Sourcing

We include visible source attributions and links to original reporting where available. We do not publish anonymous tips without independent verification.

AI-Assisted Content

Some articles on Northstar Herald are drafted with the assistance of AI tools and then reviewed by editors before publication. We do not publish AI-assisted work without editorial oversight.

Conflicts of Interest

Contributors are required to disclose any relevant conflicts of interest. Sponsored or promoted content is clearly labeled.
