Editorial standards

How TalkMask reports, and what readers can expect from every article.

Editor approval

Every article is reviewed and approved by a human editor before it is published.

Named sources

Sources are named, so readers can see where information comes from and check it.

Fact, claim, analysis and opinion

TalkMask keeps four things apart:

  • Fact: what is established and can be checked.
  • Company claim: what an organization says about itself or its products.
  • Analysis: what the facts mean, with the reasoning shown.
  • Opinion: a point of view, marked as such.

Commercial transparency

Sponsorship, ownership and commercial links are always labelled.

Corrections

Corrections are made openly.

Diagrams

Technical articles carry clear diagrams where they help.

Tone

Precise headlines, calm presentation and no hype.
