1. GTNM’s Editorial Mission & Standards
Generating Transparency Navigating Models (GTNM) is committed to accuracy, fairness, and editorial integrity in all published content.
GTNM follows fact-based reporting and analysis.
GTNM does NOT allow external influence on editorial decisions.
GTNM maintains strict verification standards for all news, opinion, and AI-assisted content.
GTNM clearly distinguishes between news, opinion, and editorial analysis.
GTNM is an independent platform focused on data-driven analysis and transparency.
2. Content Verification & Fact-Checking
All GTNM content is reviewed for factual accuracy and proper sourcing before publication.
Fact-Checking Process:
All claims must be supported by reputable sources (official reports, data, credible news organizations).
When possible, sources are linked directly for verification.
Articles undergo editorial review before publication.
Verification Criteria:
Primary sources (government reports, legal documents, expert studies) are prioritized over secondary sources.
GTNM cross-checks claims with multiple sources to prevent bias or misinformation.
Corrections are issued if errors are identified post-publication (see Corrections Policy).
GTNM does NOT rely on unverified rumors, anonymous sources without corroboration, or misleading narratives.
3. Sourcing Standards (What GTNM Considers Credible Sources)
GTNM classifies sources based on their reliability and transparency:
Preferred Sources:
Official government reports (e.g., U.S. Congressional records, FOIA documents).
Peer-reviewed academic research.
Established media with strong editorial oversight (e.g., Reuters, Associated Press).
Cautionary Use:
Social media posts (only if verified and backed by additional sources).
Leaks or whistleblower information (only if substantiated with supporting evidence).
AI-generated summaries (only if reviewed and fact-checked by humans).
Prohibited Sources:
Unverified claims from anonymous or unreliable sources.
Misinformation websites, conspiracy forums, or fabricated content.
AI-generated content that lacks human review or verification.
4. AI-Assisted Content & Editorial Review
GTNM uses AI tools to assist in content creation, but AI does NOT replace human oversight.
AI’s Role in GTNM’s Editorial Workflow:
Assists in content drafting, research synthesis, and probability modeling.
Improves readability and helps structure articles efficiently.
Generates data-driven insights for probability forecasts.
GTNM’s Human Review Process for AI Content:
AI-generated text is heavily modified and fact-checked before publishing.
Probability models are not absolute predictions and are labeled accordingly.
AI-assisted content is transparent about its origins and does NOT mislead users.
GTNM does NOT publish AI-generated content without human modification.
5. Opinion vs. Analysis vs. News (How GTNM Classifies Content)
GTNM clearly labels content based on its nature and editorial intent:
News Reports – Objective coverage of events with verified sources and no editorial bias.
Analysis – Data-driven insights, probability models, and historical comparisons.
Opinion & Editorials – Clearly labeled opinion-based perspectives from GTNM contributors.
AI-Assisted Forecasts – Predictive content that is labeled as AI-assisted and editorially reviewed.
GTNM does NOT mix news reporting with opinion or editorialized content.
6. Handling Controversial & Sensitive Topics
GTNM maintains a fact-based, neutral approach when covering politically sensitive or controversial topics.
How GTNM Ensures Fair Coverage:
Multiple perspectives are included when covering contentious issues.
Fact-based analysis is prioritized over speculation.
Editorial disclaimers clarify when content is opinion or AI-assisted.
7. Corrections & Editorial Oversight
GTNM takes accountability for published content and follows a clear corrections policy:
Corrections Process:
Minor errors (typos, formatting) are corrected without a public notice.
Substantive corrections (factual errors) include an update notice on the article.
Retractions are issued for major inaccuracies that impact the integrity of an article.
GTNM does NOT remove content due to external pressure—corrections are issued only when verified errors exist.
8. Editorial Decision-Making Process
GTNM’s editorial team follows a structured process for content approval and publication:
Initial Drafting – Content is drafted based on research, AI-assisted analysis, and editorial guidelines.
Fact-Checking & Verification – Sources are reviewed for credibility and accuracy.
Editorial Review – Senior editors ensure compliance with GTNM’s ethical and sourcing standards.
Final Approval & Publication – Content is published only after passing editorial and factual verification.
GTNM does NOT allow external organizations, advertisers, or political groups to influence editorial decisions.
