Editorial Standards
Accuracy, fairness and transparency are the foundation of everything News Czech publishes. These standards are our promise so that readers can trust what they read on News Czech.
Fact-checking and sources
- Official sources first — We prioritize primary sources such as announcements and statistics from the Czech government, ministries, public institutions and international organizations.
- Cross-checking — News articles are published only after facts have been checked across several independent outlets and sources. We never use unverified figures, institutions or quotes.
- Clear wording — We separate confirmed facts from claims, and we say plainly when a figure comes from official data.
Fairness
We do not speak for any political party, company or group. On disputed issues we report official positions and confirmed facts in a balanced way, and we keep facts separate from interpretation and outlook.
Use of artificial intelligence (AI)
Our articles are written natively for each language edition by our editorial team with AI tools, which help us organize material and write in multiple languages. AI-assisted articles are held to the same sourcing rules and quality checks, and anything that falls short is not published.
Corrections
When an error is confirmed, we fix it promptly and note significant corrections in the article. Requests for corrections or replies are welcome through Tips & Contact.
Advertising and news are separate
Advertising and partnerships do not influence which stories we cover or what they say, and ads are clearly marked as distinct from articles.
Privacy and human rights
We do not publish information that identifies private individuals, such as their names, faces or contact details, and we avoid defamatory or discriminatory language.
