Editorial Policy

Readers make decisions about their money based on what they read. These standards explain how we try to earn and keep their trust. They apply to everyone who writes or edits for Berawang News.

Accuracy and sources

• Figures, quotes and claims are checked against primary sources whenever possible: SEC filings, company press releases and earnings reports, exchange and market data, and official statements.
• We link to our sources so readers can check them. When we rely on another news organization’s reporting, we say so and credit them.
• We separate facts from opinion. Analysis and opinion pieces are labelled as such.
• Market prices shown on our site come from third-party data providers and may be delayed. We say where data comes from and when it was last updated.

Headlines

Headlines must reflect what the story actually says. We do not use headlines that promise returns, exaggerate risk or mislead readers to get clicks.

Review before publishing

Writers submit stories as drafts. An editor reviews each story for accuracy, sourcing, fairness and clarity before it is published. Guides and reviews show the name of the editor who reviewed them. Our editor, Arya, is responsible for what we publish.

Corrections

When we make a mistake, we fix it as quickly as we can and add a note at the end of the article explaining what was changed and when. We do not quietly change facts in published stories. Minor fixes to spelling or style that do not change meaning may be made without a note.

To report an error, email [email protected] with the article link and what you believe is wrong.

Use of AI tools

We may use AI tools to help with research, summarizing documents, drafting and checking grammar. A named person on our team edits, fact-checks and approves every article before it is published, and takes responsibility for it. We do not publish articles generated automatically without human review, and we do not rewrite other publications’ articles.

Independence from advertising

• Advertisers, sponsors and affiliate partners have no say over our news coverage.
• Sponsored content and press releases are clearly labelled, kept in separate sections, and not presented as our own reporting.
• Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of the page where they appear. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure.

Personal investments and conflicts of interest

• Writers and editors may not buy or sell a stock or digital asset within 48 hours before or after publishing a story about it.
• We do not accept payment, gifts or tokens in exchange for coverage.
• If a writer has a personal financial interest that a reader would reasonably want to know about, it is disclosed in the article or the writer does not cover the topic.

Not investment advice

We explain markets; we do not tell individual readers what to buy or sell. See our disclaimer.
