Our Editorial Standards & Evolving Process
The mission of THX News™ is to provide clarity in a high-volume information landscape. This document outlines the editorial standards that guide our unique, technology-assisted approach to reporting.
This involves a commitment to a process of continuous improvement to ensure our content is as accurate, impartial, and as responsible as possible.
We believe our transparency about this evolving process is fundamental to the trust we aim to build with our readers.
Our Process: AI-Assisted Reporting with Human Oversight
To deliver news at the scale and speed required today, our process begins with AI-driven summarization of primary source documents. For example, we use tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT to rapidly digest and structure the key information from a source.
Following this, our human editors provide a critical layer of oversight. They review the AI-generated output to check for context, enhance clarity, and correct obvious inaccuracies. However, we also recognize that in a high-volume environment, subtle errors from the AI can occasionally occur.
Commitment to Accuracy and Correction
Given our process, we directly link our commitment to accuracy with our commitment to correction. While we strive for precision, we understand that our system is constantly evolving.
Therefore, we place our Corrections Policy at the center of our journalistic ethics. When our team or our readers identify an inaccuracy, we correct it swiftly and transparently. We believe this accountability is a core part of our editorial standards.
Impartiality and Sourcing
Our primary commitment is to present the official record with impartiality. We design our process to filter out sensationalism and, instead, present the information from the source document as clearly as possible. Furthermore, we are always transparent about our sources, which you can learn more about on our About Us page.
An Invitation to Our Readers
We view our readers as essential partners in our mission. If you see an article that you believe contains an error, we strongly encourage you to notify us through our Contact Us page. Indeed, your feedback is a vital part of our evolving process and helps us refine our process for everyone. We are dedicated to this journey and to upholding the core principles of journalism in a new era of information.
