Worthing News

Editorial Standards

Accuracy, fairness and transparency are central to our work.

Verification

We distinguish verified facts from allegations, opinion and comment. Sensitive stories receive additional editorial review.

Sources and attribution

Where a story is based on a press release, public notice, meeting record or another publication, we identify and link to the source where practical. We do not republish whole third-party articles.

AI assistance

AI tools may assist with transcription, summarisation, categorisation or first drafts. They do not replace editorial judgement. AI-assisted drafts must be checked before publication, and the publisher remains responsible for the finished article.
