Editorial standards
How Shetu reports, sources, corrects and labels its journalism, including how we use AI tools.
Last updated 25 September 2026
Accuracy and sourcing
News stories are built on verifiable sources: official announcements, filings, statements, published research and the reporting of established outlets. Each story lists its sources at the end so readers can check them. Where reports conflict, or a claim comes from a single party, we say so in the text.
Separating news from opinion
Articles are labelled by type. News reports what happened. Explainers andguides give background and practical help. Opinion pieces argue a point of view, carry a visible label, and are kept separate from news reporting.
Use of AI tools
Shetu covers AI, and we use it. AI tools may help us research, summarise sources and draft copy. They do not decide what we publish. Facts in our stories must trace back to the sources we cite, and we do not publish AI-generated images presented as real photographs. Article artwork on Shetu is abstract illustration, not photography.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly. Significant corrections are noted on the story with the date of the update. To report an error, use our contact page and choose “Correction”.
Independence
Coverage decisions are made by Shetu's editors. We do not accept payment for news coverage. Any sponsored content will always be clearly labelled as such.
