This page sets out how MacroHerald produces and checks what it publishes. It applies to
every article on the site.
Accuracy and sourcing
Economic figures are taken from the issuing institution — a central bank, statistical office
or exchange — and we name that source in the article. Where a number is an estimate, a forecast
or a market consensus, we label it as such and say whose estimate it is. We do not publish a
figure we cannot attribute.
News and opinion are separated
Reporting describes what happened. Analysis interprets it. Articles that argue a position are
published under our Analysis section and carry the author’s
byline. We do not blend the two inside a single article without marking where one ends.
Authorship
Every article names a human author. Author pages list what that person covers and how to
reach them. Where a tool is used to assist research or drafting, the named author remains
responsible for every claim published under their name and checks it before publication.
Independence
Advertisers and affiliate partners have no sight of articles before publication and no
influence over what we cover. Sponsored content, where it appears, is labelled as such in the
article itself and is not written by the newsroom.
Updates
Developing stories are updated in place, with the update time shown. Substantive changes to
a published article are noted at the foot of the piece. Errors are handled under our
Corrections Policy.
