Editorial Charter

Editorial Independence

All editorial decisions at greecenewsdesk.com are made by our newsroom staff. We operate independently of any commercial, political, or external influence.

What we publish is determined solely by journalistic merit and relevance to our readers. No outside entity or individual has the right to dictate content, alter stories, or influence our reporting priorities.

Sourcing and Verification

Accuracy is paramount in all our reporting, from political developments to economic trends and scientific discoveries. Every claim of fact is thoroughly checked and corroborated.

We rely on multiple, credible sources for information, always seeking direct attribution where possible. When anonymity is granted, it is only to protect sources whose safety or livelihood would be jeopardized by public disclosure, and whose information is critical to the public interest.

• Direct sources are preferred, such as official documents, public statements, and interviews with primary actors.
• We cross-reference information from at least two independent sources before publication, especially for sensitive or controversial topics in Politics and Society.
• Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only with the approval of a senior editor, with their identity known to at least one editor.
• We clearly identify the nature of our sources within our articles, distinguishing between official statements, expert analysis, and eyewitness accounts.

Content Formats

We distinguish clearly between news reporting, analytical pieces, and opinion content. Each format serves a different purpose and adheres to distinct editorial guidelines.

News reporting presents facts objectively. Analysis provides context and interpretation based on those facts, often drawing on expert insights into Economy or Media. Opinion pieces express the personal views of the author, clearly marked as such.

Corrections Policy

We strive for accuracy in every article. Should an error be found, we are committed to correcting it promptly and transparently. We encourage readers to bring factual inaccuracies to our attention.

Corrections are made directly within the article where the error occurred. The original article is updated to reflect the correct information, and a note is added to explain the change.

• Minor factual errors, such as spelling mistakes or incorrect dates, are corrected in place without a separate note.
• Significant factual errors that impact the understanding of the story will include an editor's note detailing the correction and the date it was made.
• If a person criticized in an article believes an inaccuracy has occurred, they can contact us at the address shown on the contact page with their concerns and supporting evidence.
• We review all such claims diligently and issue a correction if an error is confirmed, or publish a clarification if the original report was accurate but open to misinterpretation.

Handling Sensitive Material

Reporting on sensitive topics, such as social issues, crime, or personal tragedies, requires a high degree of care and ethical consideration. We aim to inform without sensationalizing or causing undue harm.

When covering matters in Society or Lifestyle that involve private individuals, especially those who are not public figures, we prioritize their privacy and dignity. We avoid publishing gratuitous details or images that could exploit their vulnerability.

Funding and commercial content

greecenewsdesk.com is funded by greecenewsdesk.com. Advertising, sponsorship and affiliate arrangements pay for the work.

Commercial content — sponsored articles, partner posts, advertorial — is labelled at the top of the page, before the reader has spent time on it. It is never made to look like an article the newsroom wrote.

An advertiser buys space. It does not buy coverage, favourable treatment, or the removal of a story.

Complaints Procedure

We take all complaints seriously and are committed to addressing them fairly and efficiently. If you have concerns about any content published on greecenewsdesk.com, please contact us.

All complaints are reviewed by a senior editor. We aim to respond to all formal complaints within a reasonable timeframe, acknowledging receipt and outlining the steps we will take to investigate the matter. You can submit a complaint to the address shown on the contact page.
