Principles of Selecting Events
BULLETIN.OBSERVER focuses on significant events, developments and changes that may be relevant to an international audience. Events are selected based on their significance, relevance, potential impact and the availability of sufficient information from reliable sources.
Use of Multiple Sources
Where possible, BULLETIN.OBSERVER uses information from multiple independent sources to build a broader and more accurate picture of an event. Different reports may be compared to identify consistent facts, differences and developments.
Processing of Sources
Source materials may be analyzed, summarized, translated, rewritten and combined into a single editorial story. The aim is to preserve the meaning and factual substance of the original information while presenting it in a clear and accessible form.
Sources may be updated as new information becomes available. Material differences between sources may be reflected in the published story where they are relevant to understanding the event.
Automated Processing
BULLETIN.OBSERVER uses automated systems as part of its editorial workflow. Automated systems may assist with collecting, processing, grouping, translating, analyzing and preparing source material for publication.
Automated processing does not guarantee that content is free from errors. Materials may be reviewed, edited or updated when additional information becomes available.
Quality Criteria
Editorial materials are prepared with attention to factual accuracy, clarity, relevance, attribution and the distinction between confirmed information, statements by interested parties and information that remains unverified.
Where appropriate, stories identify the source of significant claims and indicate when information has not been independently confirmed.
Corrections and Updates
BULLETIN.OBSERVER may update published stories when significant new information becomes available or when previously published information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete.
Material factual errors may be corrected. Significant updates may also be reflected in the story so that readers can understand how the situation has changed.
Working with Images
Images published with stories may come from available source materials, licensed or permitted resources, or other sources where their use is considered appropriate. Images are intended to illustrate the subject of a story and may not necessarily depict the exact event described in every detail.
Where applicable, image credits or source information may be provided with the published material.
Conflicting Information
When credible sources provide conflicting information, BULLETIN.OBSERVER does not present disputed claims as established facts. Relevant differences may be identified in the story, together with attribution to the sources making the respective claims.
Information may be revised as additional evidence or reliable reporting becomes available.
Labelling of Automated Content
Some materials published on BULLETIN.OBSERVER may be created or assisted by automated systems. Where appropriate, the use of automated processing may be indicated to readers. Automated assistance does not by itself determine the factual status of information or constitute an independent source.
