Policy at Visual Voice News

This page explains how we work, what we publish, and how we treat your data. If you want a quick answer: we aim for clear, accurate reporting, label paid content, protect reader data, and fix mistakes fast. Below you’ll find plain-language rules we follow every day.

Editorial standards and sourcing

We publish stories that help you understand what’s happening now. Reporters check facts, use named sources when possible, and link primary documents or official statements inside articles. When a story relies on anonymous sources, we explain why the source needed to stay anonymous and try to corroborate the claim.

Opinion pieces are labeled opinion and kept separate from news reporting. If a reporter has a stake in a story — financial, personal, or otherwise — we disclose that interest so you can judge the coverage with full context.

Corrections, updates and reader feedback

When we get something wrong, we correct it quickly. Corrections are added to the article and dated, and we explain what changed. If a story is substantially updated after publication, we note the update at the top so readers see what changed and why.

You can flag errors or suggest sources by contacting our editorial team. We read feedback and use it to improve reporting. We don’t ignore factual challenges — we verify and amend when needed.

Here’s how we handle specific areas you might care about:

Advertising and sponsored content: Ads are clearly marked. Sponsored or branded content is labeled so it’s obvious it’s promotional. Editorial decisions are independent of advertisers — our newsroom controls what we publish.

Privacy and data: We collect only the info needed for site functions and subscriptions. Personal data is handled securely, and you can request access or deletion where local law allows. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Comments and community: Our comment spaces are moderated to keep discussion civil. Abuse, hate speech, spam, and doxxing are removed. We encourage constructive debate and provide rules where comments are enabled.

Subscriptions and paywalls: Some content may require a subscription. Subscriptions fund reporting, not clickbait. If content sits behind a paywall, we try to offer clear previews or summaries so you know what you’re signing up for.

Conflicts of interest: Staff and contributors must disclose conflicts and recuse themselves from related coverage. We aim for transparency so you can trust the byline.
