Editorial policy

We write here what we actually do, not what sounds good.

What we publish

Reporting a known outlet published before us, rewritten by our newsroom into a brief of its own. The facts, names and figures stay as the reporting gave them.

What we do not

Anything without a source that can be checked, an image whose origin we do not know, or a single account with nothing behind it.

Credit

Every story ends with a line saying it was produced in the Europe Brief News newsroom. An outlet that wants its reporting credited or removed can write to us from the contact page.

Images

A picture comes with its story from its source. We do not put a stock photograph under a real event: an image from somewhere else beneath a specific incident is a visual lie even when the words are true.

Mistakes

Quiet deletion is not a correction. What we fix stays visible on the corrections page with its date and what it said before.
