This editorial policy explains how Songoftruth.org decides what to publish, how we research and check our work, and what happens when we get something wrong. We share it so readers can judge our content with full knowledge of how it is made.
Summary: Every article is planned, edited and reviewed by the Editorial Team. We rely on authoritative sources, check facts before publishing, keep advertising separate from editorial decisions, and correct errors openly. Report a mistake any time at contact@songsoftruthorg.com.
Who Publishes Our Content
All articles on Songoftruth.org are published under the Editorial Team byline. This shared byline means every piece passes through the same process and meets the same standards, regardless of who drafted it. The Editorial Team is collectively responsible for everything we publish.
How We Choose Topics
We start with real reader needs. Topics come from questions readers send us, common problems in everyday life, seasonal concerns and gaps we notice in existing coverage.
Before approving an idea, we ask three questions:
- Will this genuinely help someone make a decision, solve a problem or understand something better?
- Can we offer something clearer, more honest or more practical than what already exists?
- Can we support our claims with reliable sources?
If the answer to any of these is no, we either rework the idea or set it aside.
Research and Sourcing Standards
We base factual claims on authoritative, verifiable sources. Depending on the topic, these include:
- Government agencies and public health bodies.
- Universities, research institutions and peer-reviewed studies.
- Recognised professional organisations.
- Official brand, product or venue information for specifics such as features, opening hours or policies.
- Established, reputable publications.
We avoid relying on anonymous forums, unverified social media claims or content designed mainly to sell something. Where we cite a source, we link to it when possible so readers can check it themselves.
Extra Care for Sensitive Topics
Health, mental health, money and safety topics can affect people’s wellbeing. For these, we apply a stricter standard: we favour official guidance, avoid exaggerated claims, flag uncertainty honestly and remind readers to consult a qualified professional. Our disclaimer explains the limits of this content.
Fact-Checking
Every draft is reviewed by an editor before publication. The review covers:
- Checking statistics, dates, names and specific claims against their sources.
- Making sure advice is realistic, safe and clearly explained.
- Confirming that links work and point to the right pages.
- Removing vague, misleading or overstated wording.
If a claim cannot be verified, we remove it or clearly describe it as uncertain.
Updates and Corrections
Lifestyle information changes, so we review and refresh older articles when we learn of new guidance, changed prices or better methods. Substantial updates may be noted on the article.
When we find an error, or a reader reports one, we check it promptly. If we confirm a mistake, we correct it. For significant factual corrections, we add a short note explaining what changed. We do not quietly rewrite important errors.
Editorial Independence
Songoftruth.org may earn revenue from advertising and affiliate links. These commercial relationships never decide what we write or what we recommend.
- Advertisers do not review or approve our articles.
- We do not accept payment for positive coverage.
- Sponsored or partnership content is always clearly labelled.
- Affiliate links are added after editorial decisions are made, not before.
Our Use of AI Tools
We believe readers deserve transparency about how content is produced. The Editorial Team may use AI-assisted tools for tasks such as brainstorming, outlining, summarising research or checking grammar.
These tools support our work but do not replace human judgement. Every article on Songoftruth.org is planned, edited and reviewed by the Editorial Team, who verify facts, shape the advice and take responsibility for the final result. We do not publish unreviewed automated content.
Reader Contributions
If we publish a guest piece or reader story, it goes through the same editing and fact-checking process as our own articles. Contributors must disclose any conflicts of interest.
