Journalism Integrity

Editorial Standards

Real Briefly Media is committed to producing high-accuracy, transparent, and fair reporting. Our editorial policies govern all news briefs, investigations, and contributor publications.

1. Accuracy & Multi-Source Verification

Factual accuracy is our primary objective. Before publishing breaking briefs, contributors must confirm claims with primary sources, verified public on-chain records, regulatory disclosures, or multiple independent outlets.

Rumors, unconfirmed market leaks, or speculative anonymous posts must be explicitly framed as unconfirmed reports.

2. AI Credibility Scoring & Transparency

Real Briefly runs automated verification models that cross-reference claims against reputable databases to calculate credibility percentages displayed prominently on each story.

Stories that fail baseline verification thresholds are flagged for human editorial review or withheld from receiving token reward bonuses.

3. Distinction Between News and Opinion

Factual reporting and opinion commentary must never be conflated. Opinion pieces, op-eds, and market viewpoints must be visibly designated to maintain clear demarcation between objective facts and personal perspectives.

4. Plagiarism & Attribution

Direct copying of words, imagery, or analyses without clear attribution is strictly prohibited. Stories referencing scoops or research published by other organizations must link directly to the original work.
