Editorial policy
How we publish.
Every post on Top24hr goes through the same workflow: sourcing, drafting, editorial review, and post-publication monitoring. This page explains each step.
Sourcing and verification
Stories start from official announcements, primary documents, and reputable outlets. When a post is based on an external source, we link to it directly in the article so readers can verify the origin themselves. We do not publish rumors presented as fact, and posts that cannot be traced to a credible source are rejected during review.
Review before publishing
Drafts — whether written by staff, contributors, or prepared with AI assistance — are approved by a human editor before they appear on the site. Editors check factual claims, headlines (no clickbait that misrepresents the content), image relevance, and completeness. Posts that fail quality checks are sent back or rejected.
AI assistance disclosure
We use AI tools to help draft, summarize, and format some posts. AI output is never published automatically: a human editor reviews and approves every post, and remains responsible for its accuracy.
Sponsored and paid content
Paid placements are always labeled with a visible “Sponsored” disclosure at the top of the article, and outbound links in sponsored posts use rel="sponsored". Sponsors never influence our editorial coverage, and sponsored posts are excluded from our news feeds. Display advertising on the site is clearly separated from content.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. See our corrections policy for how to report an error and how we handle it.
