Editorial Policy

Our Mission

BreakWire News exists to deliver fast, clearly organised breaking news that respects your time and intelligence. We believe readers deserve accurate context — not just headlines — so every story we publish is written to answer the "so what?" as quickly as possible.

We are independently operated and do not accept editorial direction from advertisers, sponsors, or any third party. Our revenue comes from display advertising (Google AdSense) and reader support programmes (Google Subscribe with Google). Neither arrangement influences our coverage.

Sourcing Standards

Every article published on BreakWire News meets the following source requirements:

• Primary sourcing: Each piece links to at least one primary source — an original report, official statement, government document, or peer-reviewed study. We do not publish rumour as fact.
• Named sources: Quotes and data are attributed to named individuals or official bodies wherever possible. Anonymous sourcing is used sparingly and only when a named source would face genuine risk.
• Wire and syndicated content: Where we summarise reporting from wire services (Reuters, AP, AFP) or third-party publishers, we provide a direct outbound link to the original source and credit it clearly.
• High-authority outbound links: We prioritise linking to original research, government data, and established news organisations rather than to aggregators or secondary sources.

AI Content Disclosure

BreakWire uses AI assistance to produce editorial context and analysis summaries. All AI-assisted content is clearly attributed to the relevant editorial desk (e.g. "BreakWire Markets Desk") rather than to a human journalist unless a human journalist actually wrote or edited the piece. We do not claim original reporting — we organise and contextualise coverage from established news organisations.

AI assistance is used for: summarising source material, extracting key takeaways, writing contextual analysis, and generating structured data such as FAQs. It is not used to fabricate quotes, invent facts, or attribute claims to sources who did not make them.

Corrections Policy

We correct errors promptly and transparently. When a factual error is identified:

• A correction notice is appended to the article within 24 hours of the error being confirmed.
• Material errors that change the meaning of the piece result in a full correction notice at the top of the article.
• We do not delete corrections or silently alter published text. The original error and the correction are both recorded in the correction notice.

Independence

BreakWire News editorial decisions — what to cover, how to frame it, which sources to cite — are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, technology partners, and investors. No commercial relationship influences which stories we cover or how we cover them. Sponsored content, when it appears, is clearly labelled as advertising and separated from editorial content.
