Editorial policy

Urban Community News aims to make its ideas clear, fair and useful in ordinary neighbourhood settings. We distinguish general suggestions from established facts and revise our wording when a detail needs correction.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable material before publication, take care not to present an opinion as a fact, and make uncertainty clear when it matters. Our articles are written for general readers and are not a substitute for local rules, specialist support or a group's own decisions.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for the usefulness and relevance of a subject to readers. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage, a favourable view or a particular conclusion.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or an unclear passage, please contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update published material when warranted, making important changes clear to readers.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid placements and other partner material are identified so readers can tell them apart from independent editorial work. Any collaboration is considered for its relevance to neighbourhood connection. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where they are used, they are treated as illustrations rather than documentary evidence.
