Editorial Standards

THE POLITI-GEEK STANDARD

The Politi-Geek is committed to providing accurate, easily digestible, and reliable sourced evidence, without all of the noise that mainstream media provides. The Politi-Geek is dedicated to the historical, political, and economic analysis of today's issues, and will commit to the standards upheld though out this publication. 

FACT CHECKING

The Politi-Geek verifies facts to the best of its abilities, claims are checked by reliable, primary sources, and we cross-examine sources across a wide spectrum. The Politi-Geek is committed to distinguishing facts, and use analytical expertise to provide reliable information, to you, the reader. 

SOURCE MATERIAL

The Politi-Geek uses only the most reliable, non-biased sources that it can find, including; but not limited to- reputable news organizations like BBC, Reuters, and PBS; government and court records, historical, and primary sources. The Politi-Geek is committed to providing these sources in an appropriate manner, this typically being at the end of every article. When our sources disagree, we tend to represent this disagreement in our articles, rather than to limit the spectrum of our sources. Sometimes, you may find that we use a wide variety of sources, some being from biased media companies, like Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and so forth, and make no mistake; these are reputable brands, we just do not recognize them as unbiased, when we do our research. Do not fret at this, as we use these sources to provide all angles on the events in our lifetime, rather than avoiding them over political beliefs.

FACTS VERSUS OPINIONS

The Politi-Geek is a journalist publication, we provide facts, analysis, and ultimately opinions. However, humans are not perfect, and opinions, whether they are based in fact, and popular, or not; will in-fact be included, on occasion. The Politi-Geek does want to reiterate the fact that we are an unbiased news publication, which is reassured in our articles. That being said, we do believe that the opinions that we put on paper here, are based in fact, and we never want to force opinions on anyone, we only want to stimulate the mind. 

ACCURACY

The Politi-Geek does take accountability in its journalistic accuracy seriously. If our journalist discovers a factual error, we correct it immediately, and we are absolutely transparent when necessary. Significant corrections will be made public, others such as grammatical errors, title changes, punctuation, and source additions will not be made public. Readers who identify errors are free and encouraged to contact The Politi-Geek, leaving the relevant article and supporting information for their claim. 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Politi-Geek commits to its own editorial independence. We make reasonable efforts to maintain our identity, as a privately owned publication that provides independent journalism, historical analysis, and evidence-based research as its main characteristics. Our journalistic decisions are not influenced by outside political or financial interests. We are not affiliated with a political party, nor plan to be. 

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The Politi-Geek is committed to being completely transparent about our use of AI. The Politi-Geek may use artificial intelligence tools for limited tasks, such as brainstorming, organization, editing assitance, research assistance, or other production purposes. AI-generated information that The Politi-Geek uses will not be treated as a substitution for real, verified evidence, nor will it be used for any writing, video creation, or otherwise creating content purely with artificial intelligence. We may use it as a tool, but it goes no further than that, we at The Politi-Geek are not trying to fail you by creating artificial intelligence-only content, that is not reliable in its own verification. The Politi-Geek discloses AI information in all content and will continue to do so going forward.
