This policy governs how The Rundown Report produces, reviews, and publishes content. It applies to all staff writers, contributors, and syndicated material.
Every factual claim must be verifiable through at least two independent sources before publication. Claims based on single-source reporting are clearly attributed. We do not publish unverified speculation as fact.
We give subjects of critical coverage a reasonable opportunity to respond before publication. We report what sources say, not what we wish they had said.
Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team, not by advertisers, sponsors, investors, or external parties. Commercial relationships do not influence news coverage.
The Rundown Report publishes sponsored content and advertorials from commercial partners. This content is clearly labeled with disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Advertorial," or "Paid Partnership."
Sponsored content represents the views of the advertiser and does not reflect the editorial opinions of The Rundown Report. Our editorial team reviews sponsored content for factual accuracy and compliance with applicable advertising standards, but does not independently verify all claims made by advertisers.
Health-related advertorials are reviewed to ensure they do not make unsubstantiated medical claims and include appropriate disclaimers where required.
Staff are required to disclose any financial interests, relationships, or affiliations that could create a conflict of interest with their coverage areas. Editors manage conflicts through recusal, disclosure, or both.
