Editorial Guidelines
Beyond Headlines, Beyond Noise: Our Commitment to Integrity
At TimesCraft, we believe that journalism is a craft that requires precision, patience, and passion. In an era of instant gratification and digital clutter, our editorial guidelines serve as a compass to ensure every story we publish adds value to the global conversation.
1. Accuracy and Fact-Verification
Our primary duty is to the truth. Every piece of information, from technical horological specifications to complex geopolitical updates, undergoes a rigorous multi-step verification process. We rely on primary sources, official brand statements, and direct interviews to ensure that “TimesCraft” remains a synonym for reliability.
2. Editorial Independence
Independence is the bedrock of our “Beyond Noise” philosophy. Our editorial decisions are made solely by our editors, free from the influence of advertisers, investors, or third-party brands. Any content that is sponsored or produced in partnership with a brand is explicitly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Promoted” to maintain total transparency with our readers.
3. Expert-Led Horological Content
Watches are more than instruments; they are legacies. Our horology section is curated by enthusiasts and experts who understand the intricate mechanics and history of timekeeping. We focus on the “Craft” rather than the “Hype,” providing technical analysis that stands the test of time.
4. Conflict of Interest and Affiliate Disclosure
To support our independent journalism, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs. However, our product reviews and recommendations are never influenced by affiliate commissions. We only recommend products and services that meet our high standards of craftsmanship and utility.
5. Plagiarism and Originality
TimesCraft has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. We take pride in original storytelling and unique perspectives. Every article is checked for originality, and we ensure that all external sources and inspirations are properly credited with citations and links.
6. Ethics in Modern Technology (AI Policy)
While we embrace innovation, the “Human Heart” remains at the center of our editorial process. We do not publish unedited, raw AI-generated content. If AI tools are used for research or refinement, the final narrative is always crafted, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor to maintain our signature “Beyond Headlines” tone.
7. Corrections and Accountability
We take responsibility for our words. If an error is identified, we commit to correcting it promptly and transparently. A clear “Correction Note” is added to the article to explain what was changed, ensuring our readers are always informed of the truth.
8. Diversity and Inclusion
We strive to represent a diverse range of voices and perspectives in our global insights. We believe that looking “Beyond Noise” requires understanding stories from different cultures, backgrounds, and viewpoints.
