These standards guide news published by The Token Press. Our aim is to make digital finance reporting useful, attributable and clear about what the evidence establishes.
Sources and verification
Prefer original announcements, filings, regulatory publications, official records and direct statements. Other reporting can help identify a story, but should not replace a primary source when one is available. Link readers to the material supporting important claims.
Preserve dates, figures, names and the scope of findings. Distinguish an allegation from a proven finding, a proposal from an enacted rule, and a forecast from an observed result. Attribute estimates and disputed claims. Hold an automated draft when its central claims cannot be supported.
Original value and fair presentation
Explain the development in fresh language and provide relevant context. Avoid copying article text or treating a change of wording as original reporting. Headlines and summaries should reflect the story without exaggerating its implications.
Financial coverage
News articles describe developments; they do not provide personalized investment advice. Report material risks and uncertainty where relevant. Do not promise returns or present promotional claims as established facts.
Press releases and paid content
Keep company announcements distinct from independent reporting. Identify paid or sponsored content clearly, and disclose material commercial relationships when they affect coverage. Links placed as part of paid promotion should carry the appropriate sponsored relationship.
AI assistance and responsibility
AI tools may assist drafting, formatting and editorial imagery. Automated publication does not mean that a human editor reviewed every story. The publication remains responsible for addressing errors. See our AI and image policy.
Corrections
Readers can flag a possible error through the corrections process. Keep original publication dates intact; identify a material correction and its date on the article.
