Editorial policy

Open Public Dispatch aims to explain public information accurately and plainly. We distinguish what a source says from what can reasonably be inferred, and make uncertainty visible rather than smoothing it away.

Accuracy and sources

Articles are checked against relevant primary materials where available, with attention to dates, terminology and context. A document may describe a proposal, a recommendation or a recorded decision; we do not treat those as interchangeable. We avoid claims that require local procedural knowledge unless the scope and source are made clear.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Partner material and paid placements are identified clearly where they appear, and payment does not buy a favourable editorial conclusion. We do not present a partner's claims as independently established facts.

Corrections

If you spot an error, contact us through the Contact page and identify the article, the passage and any supporting source. We review specific, checkable concerns and correct material when warranted, making the change clear when it affects the meaning of the piece.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are not documentary evidence; captions or nearby text will clarify their illustrative role where needed.
