This policy explains how Digital Wildcard decides what to publish and how we aim to report accurately and fairly.
Accuracy and sourcing
- We aim to verify claims before publishing and to rely on primary sources, official statements, court or public records, and named, credible reporting wherever possible.
- We link to or name the sources behind a story. When we draw on another outlet’s reporting, we credit it.
- We clearly separate reported fact from analysis, opinion and speculation.
- We treat viral claims and social media posts with caution, and we say when something could not be independently confirmed.
Originality and attribution
We write our own articles. We do not republish other publishers’ text, and we credit images and quotations to their owners. Images are used only with the right to do so, and credits appear with the image where required.
Fairness and independence
We seek to treat the people and organisations we cover fairly and, where practical, to give them a chance to respond. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers and commercial partners. Sponsored or promotional material, if we ever publish it, will be clearly labelled.
Privacy and sensitive stories
We take particular care with stories involving private individuals, minors, victims of crime and people in distress, and we weigh the public interest against potential harm.
Updates and corrections
Stories are updated as facts change, and significant updates are noted on the article. Mistakes are handled under our Corrections Policy.
Use of automated tools
If automated or AI tools assist our work, a human editor remains responsible for everything published and for checking it before it goes live.
