THE INK STANDARD / 01
How Now in Ink reports, illustrates and corrects
The publication rules behind every searchable page.
Reporting and originality
We use sources as evidence, not as reusable copy. Writers reconstruct the story, add context and disclose what remains uncertain.
A translated article must be edited for that language’s search intent and cultural context. Mechanical translation alone is not publishable.
Sources and YouTube
Material claims need visible citations. Official documents, datasets and first-party statements are preferred; reputable reporting adds independent confirmation.
YouTube may be cited or linked as a source. We do not download or republish a creator’s video, audio or thumbnail.
Images and licensing
Editorial illustrations are generated with GPT Image 2 and labelled as such. They must not imply that a fictional scene is documentary photography.
External media is blocked unless its record includes the creator, original source, license name and license URL from an approved rights-aware provider.
Corrections and freshness
Articles display published, updated and last-verified timestamps. Substantive changes update the page and sitemap date; cosmetic edits do not.
When a correction changes the reader’s understanding, a correction note stays attached to the article.
