Editorial policy
Below is how the editorial work is organised, from choosing a topic to correcting an already published piece.
Who is responsible for the material
Material is prepared by a named author rather than an anonymous desk: the name sits next to the text, and the author can be reached through the contacts page.
Material on this site is prepared and checked by Catherine Ashford.
Sources and fact checking
We prefer the primary source to a retelling: if a statement cannot be verified, it does not go into the text.
How to report an error
An error report is reviewed within a few working days. If the error is confirmed, the text is corrected and the update date and the reason for the edit are shown on the page.
