Editorial policy

The standards used to research, label, correct and maintain Brighton & Hove Info.

Independence

The initial publication contains no business listings, affiliate links, paid placements or advertorial. Future commercial material, if introduced, will be visually and verbally separated from editorial work.

Sources and uncertainty

We favour archives, official records, original datasets, statutory documents, museum collections and established scholarship. A repeated local anecdote is not treated as fact merely because it is familiar. Disputed or incomplete evidence is labelled.

News and explainers

Dated city-desk pieces separate a confirmed decision from a proposal, consultation or recommendation. Headlines should describe what is known at publication time without exaggerating certainty.

Corrections

Spelling and formatting fixes may be made silently. A change that alters the factual meaning of an article is recorded in its revision history. Credible correction requests are checked against the strongest available evidence.

Generated assistance

Research and drafting tools may assist the editorial workflow, but publication remains subject to source review. The existence of a generated draft is never treated as verification of a claim.
