Editorial Standards & Corrections

Last updated: September 2, 2026

Global Securities News (GSN) is a securities and markets news publication organized by continent and country. This page explains the editorial principles behind our reporting, how we handle sourcing and errors, and how readers can raise a concern about something we’ve published.

Editorial Independence

GSN’s newsroom operates independently of our advertising and sponsorship business. Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners have no input into which stories we cover, how we report them, or what conclusions our reporting reaches. Commercial arrangements never influence editorial judgment.

Where GSN publishes paid or sponsored content, it is produced and labeled under a separate set of rules described in our Paid Promotions Policy, and is always visibly marked as “Sponsored Content” so readers can distinguish it from our independent news reporting. Our regular news articles are never sponsored, and sponsors do not review or approve independent news coverage of themselves or their competitors.

How Our Articles Are Produced

Articles published on GSN are researched and drafted with AI-assisted tools and reviewed, edited and signed by the Chief Editor before publication. They are produced from primary sources, regulatory filings, exchange disclosures, and company releases, and published under the editorial responsibility of RICHPORT MEDIA INC. Every article names its author, carries the date of its editorial review and lists its sources.

Articles are original output rather than republished third-party copy. We do not republish wire copy or aggregate third-party news feeds and present them as our own reporting. When an article draws on external data, filings, statements, or prior reporting by other outlets, we attribute the source within the article.

Sourcing and Accuracy

We aim to hold our coverage to a consistent standard of accuracy, while being clear that drafted text can be wrong in ways that look confident:

• Material factual claims are drawn from named or attributed sources, such as company filings and press releases, regulatory and exchange disclosures, official statements, and on-the-record comments, wherever such sourcing is available. This is a sourcing discipline built into how articles are drafted, not a guarantee that every claim has been independently verified by a human before publication.
• Where a claim cannot be attributed to a named source, we say so, rather than presenting unsourced information as fact.
• We distinguish clearly between factual reporting and analysis or opinion. Where an article contains the writer’s or a contributor’s interpretation, outlook, or opinion, it is labeled as analysis, opinion, or commentary rather than presented as straight news.
• Numbers, dates, tickers, and figures should be read against the primary source we link or name. We encourage readers to check any figure that matters to them, and we correct errors promptly when they are reported to us.

Markets and regulatory situations can change quickly. We correct our understanding of events as new information becomes available, consistent with the corrections process below.

Article standards

Every article published on GSN is written to a fixed set of standards:

• At least three cited primary sources. Each article draws on a minimum of three primary sources, and those sources are listed by title, publisher, and link in the Sources block at the foot of the article. Primary means the document itself: a regulatory filing, an exchange disclosure, a company release, or an official statement. A reader can open each one and check the article against it.
• Analysis is labelled. Where an article moves from reporting what a document says to interpreting what it may mean, that material sits under a heading titled “Analysis”. Everything outside that heading is reporting.
• Corrections carry an Updated date. When an article is changed after publication in a way that affects a material fact, figure, or the substance of the piece, it is given a visible Updated date, as set out in the corrections process below.

Human editorial review

GSN contracts Contributing Editors: named, independent professionals, each responsible for one or more regions. They are listed on our public masthead at Contributing Editors, with their real professional names, their region, a biography, and a link to their professional profile. The masthead is published only when there are editors to name.

A reviewer credit on an article is a specific, limited claim. It means the named editor read that article in full and checked its material claims against the sources listed on it, before the credit was applied. It does not mean the editor wrote the article. Articles that do not carry a reviewer credit have not had that review, and most of our archive does not carry one. We would rather show the reader exactly which articles have been through an editor’s hands than imply a level of review the process has not delivered.

September 2026 reissue

In September 2026, GSN reissued its earlier articles with expanded reporting, additional cited primary sources, and analysis moved under a labelled Analysis heading, bringing the archive into line with the article standards above. Reissued articles carry an Updated date recording when that work was done.

News and Information Only: Not Investment Advice

GSN publishes news and information about securities, markets, regulation, and companies. Nothing on this site constitutes individualized investment, legal, or tax advice, and no article should be read as a personal recommendation to buy, hold, or sell any security. Readers should consult a licensed, qualified professional before making financial decisions. This is also addressed in our Terms & Conditions.

Corrections Policy

We want our reporting to be accurate, and we correct errors when we find them or when they are brought to our attention.

• Minor corrections: such as typos, formatting issues, or small clarifications that do not affect the substance of a story, may be fixed without a separate notice.
• Significant corrections: changes that affect a material fact, figure, quote, or the substance of a story, are handled differently. When we make a significant correction:
  1. The article is updated with a visible “Updated” date-stamp reflecting when the correction was made.
  2. Where the correction is material to the reader’s understanding of the piece, a brief correction note is appended to the article explaining what was changed and why.

We do not silently alter the substance of published reporting. Our goal is that any reader revisiting a corrected article can see that it was corrected and understand what changed.

Requesting a Correction or Raising a Concern

If you believe something we’ve published contains an error, is unfair, or is missing important context, we want to hear from you. Please contact our editorial team at [email protected], or use our Contact page, and include:

• A link to the article in question.
• The specific claim, figure, or statement you believe is incorrect.
• Any supporting information or sources you have.

We review correction requests and aim to respond in a reasonable timeframe. Not every request will result in a change, but every request is reviewed on its merits.

Conflicts of Interest

GSN staff and contributors are expected to avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise, or appear to compromise, the independence of our reporting. In practice, this means:

• Staff do not write or edit coverage of a specific security, company, or offering in a way that would benefit a personal financial position they hold in it.
• Staff are expected to disclose to their editor any personal financial holding that could reasonably be seen to create a conflict with an assignment, so that the assignment can be reassigned or the conflict otherwise managed.
• Staff do not accept payment, gifts, or other benefits from companies, issuers, or sources in exchange for favorable coverage.

These principles apply alongside, and do not replace, the disclosures made in our Paid Promotions Policy, Advertising Disclosure, and Affiliate Disclosure, which govern how commercial relationships are labeled for readers.
