This page explains how we report, test, source, and correct our coverage. It’s here so readers know what to expect from anything published under the Tech News Today name, and so our writers — staff and guest contributors alike — have a clear standard to work to.
1. What We Cover
Technology, gadgets, software, apps, and games. That includes breaking news, hands-on reviews, buying guides, explainers, and opinion pieces. Opinion content is labeled as such in the headline or a note at the top of the article.
2. Independence
Advertisers and PR contacts don’t get to preview, approve, or edit coverage. Sending us a review unit doesn’t buy favorable treatment, and turning one down doesn’t get an article killed. If a conflict of interest exists — say, a company we’re covering also advertises with us — we disclose it in the article.
3. How We Test Products
Hardware and software we review gets used, not just unboxed. Depending on the product, that means running it through daily use for at least several days before publishing, benchmarking against stated specs, and comparing against direct competitors where relevant. If we weren’t able to fully test something before a deadline — an early hands-on ahead of a full review, for instance — we say so explicitly in the piece.
4. Sourcing
- Claims of fact are backed by a named source, official documentation, or our own testing — not “sources say” without elaboration where avoidable
- We link to primary sources (company announcements, filings, research papers) wherever one exists
- Anonymous sources are only used when a named source isn’t possible and the information is verified independently where we can
- We don’t rewrite a press release and call it news — if a story originates from a press release, we say so and add our own reporting or context
5. Corrections Policy
Mistakes get fixed and disclosed, not quietly edited away. When we correct a published article:
- Factual error (wrong spec, date, quote, etc.) — Fixed in the article, with a correction note and date added at the top
- Typo or grammar fix — Fixed silently, no note needed
- Significant update (price change, new information) — Article updated with an “Updated on [date]” note explaining what changed
If you spot an error, use our Contact page and we’ll look into it: https://technewstoday.net/contact/
6. Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content
Articles containing affiliate links are marked at the top of the piece. Sponsored content is labeled “Sponsored” in the headline and byline area — it’s never mixed into regular editorial coverage without a label. Product recommendations in affiliate-linked articles are based on the same testing standard as everything else on the site.
7. Guest Contributors
Guest writers go through the same fact-checking and editing process as staff pieces before publication. A guest byline means the piece was written by someone outside our regular team — it doesn’t mean it skipped review.
8. AI-Assisted Content
Where AI tools are used in our workflow — for research assistance or drafting support, for example — a human editor reviews and fact-checks the final piece before it publishes. Articles aren’t published unedited from an AI tool.
9. Updating This Policy
We may revise these guidelines as our processes evolve. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
