Editorial policy

PositiveTonic covers constructive news with the same standards of accuracy and fairness expected of any news publication. We look for credible evidence, explain context, and distinguish verified facts from opinions or predictions.

Reporting and sources

We check significant claims against reliable primary sources where available and identify the source of important facts. Positive developments deserve scrutiny as well as attention: we aim to describe their limits, costs and unanswered questions.

Independence

Editorial decisions are based on news value and reader interest. If a story is sponsored or contains an affiliate link, it should be clearly labelled. Contributors should disclose material conflicts of interest.

Corrections

When we find a substantive error, we correct it promptly and mark significant corrections on the article. Readers can raise concerns using our complaints policy.
