Editorial Standards & Corrections
MGL aims to report accurately, fairly, and clearly. Credibility means showing our work—not simply sounding confident.
Verification
We distinguish confirmed facts from allegations, proposals, estimates, and statements by interested parties. When a claim is disputed or unverified, we say so.
Sources and privacy
We protect sensitive source information as carefully as our available tools and procedures allow. We do not promise anonymity, legal privilege, or protection from retaliation that we cannot guarantee. We seek independent verification before publishing serious allegations.
Corrections
When we identify a consequential factual error, we correct it and explain material changes where appropriate. We assess correction requests and supporting documentation, but a submission does not guarantee a change.

Advertising and sponsorships
Advertising and editorial decisions are separate. Sponsored content, paid partnerships, and endorsements are identified clearly. An advertiser cannot purchase a favorable news story.
Illustrations and AI
MGL’s original watercolor artwork is illustration, not documentary evidence. AI may help research, draft, or illustrate, but editorial accountability and fact-checking remain human responsibilities.
