Editorial Standards | NewsImpact

NewsImpact editorial standards cover source verification, impact analysis, ticker relevance, impact labels, corrections, independence, and financial-risk disclosures.

Source and identity checks

Every analysis preserves a link to the source used for the read. The workflow checks the named company, ticker, source metadata, publication time, and available corroborating evidence. Press releases and interested-party claims are identified as such and are not treated as independent confirmation.

Ticker relevance before direction

Positive or Negative always describes expected stock-price pressure for the named ticker. News is rejected when the connection is only a vague sector association. Peer, sector, or index spillover requires a stated causal path and enough materiality to affect that broader layer.

Research and publication controls

NewsImpact uses a research workflow to evaluate evidence and write analysis. Automated controls validate required fields and block missing or generic output. If the workflow is unavailable, NewsImpact does not publish a fabricated fallback analysis. Public pages remain readable, but only analyses that meet the current source, evidence, completeness, and citation standard are eligible for search indexing.

Original contribution

NewsImpact does not claim to have reported the underlying event unless Tactech LLC is the named source. Each analysis links to the original publisher and adds a ticker-specific causal mechanism, evidence grade, scenarios, confirmation and invalidation signals, and observed price outcomes when valid quote windows are available. Repeating or lightly rewriting a headline is not sufficient for indexing.

Corrections and independence

NewsImpact corrects material factual, ticker-match, source, and calculation errors. Advertising, subscriptions, and social engagement do not determine a direction label. The publisher does not accept payment from an issuer to change coverage or direction.
