Reform.news strives to publish accurate, verified, and publicly relevant information. Before publication, the editorial team seeks, whenever possible, to verify facts using multiple sources, official documents, open data, eyewitness accounts, and comments from people involved in the events.
When information cannot be independently verified, this is clearly stated in the article. Information from anonymous sources is published only when it is in the public interest and revealing the source’s identity could put them at risk.
Articles identify their sources and, whenever possible, include links to primary documents, statements, and publications. Quotations must not distort the meaning of what was said. Photographs and videos are credited when their source is known.
News reporting is kept separate from authors’ opinions and commentary. Materials containing the author’s assessments are published in the appropriate sections or accompanied by a notice stating that the author’s views may not coincide with those of the editorial team.
If a significant factual error is discovered after publication, the editorial team corrects it as soon as possible. Substantial changes are accompanied by a correction notice explaining what was changed.
Spelling and technical errors that do not affect the meaning of the material may be corrected without a separate notice.
Errors can be reported by email to rfrmby@gmail.com. Please include a link to the publication and a description of the suspected error.
Individuals and organizations mentioned in our publications may contact the editorial team with a clarification, comment, or request to correct inaccurate information. The editorial team reviews such requests and, when justified, supplements or corrects the material.
Reform.news operates as a newsroom in exile. The publication is blocked in Belarus, and independent journalists and their relatives may face political persecution.
For security reasons, the identities of some journalists and editors are not disclosed. Their work is published under permanent pseudonyms or the collective byline “Reform.news Editorial Team.” Regardless of the byline used, the editorial team is responsible for ensuring compliance with these editorial standards.
Editorial decisions must not be determined by the commercial interests of advertisers or partners. Advertising, sponsored projects, and paid publications must be clearly labelled and kept separate from independent editorial content.
Artificial intelligence tools may be used for translation, transcription, data processing, and other supporting tasks. The Reform.news editorial team remains responsible for fact-checking, editing, and the final publication of all material.
