Evidence before publication.

Show the record

Every factual guide or explainer links to its underlying sources. We identify the issuing organization, source date when available, date checked, and important limits. A check date is not a source publication date. A proposal is not a vote, a plan is not a completed project, and an announcement is not independent verification.

Be clear about AI

ADAM assists with discovery, comparison, drafting, and formatting. AI-generated claims are leads to verify, not evidence. We do not fabricate quotations, interviews, witnesses, reporters, or images of events. Original reporting will identify its method and byline. The launch summaries are labeled as AI-assisted and link directly to their source material.

Keep useful limits visible

Resource maps are not guarantees that a facility is open. Weather-readiness guides are not live alerts. Insurance guides are not a determination of an individual policy. Readers should follow linked official sources for current instructions and specific requirements.

Respect other reporting

We attribute and link reporting from other newsrooms. Republishing requires permission or a suitable license. We do not present another outlet’s reporting as our own on-scene work.

Correct the record

Send the story link, disputed claim, and supporting evidence. We will review requests and, when a correction is warranted, identify the change and date on the story. Material factual changes will not be silently hidden. This is a new publication, so no correction history exists yet.

Keep advertising separate

Paid placements will be clearly labeled. Sponsors cannot buy favorable coverage, editorial approval, or suppression. Relevant publisher conflicts will be disclosed with the affected coverage. No sponsors or paid placements are represented in this launch edition.
