How Our Authors Research and Review Content
Our authors aim to produce content that is clear, useful and engaging. When appropriate, contributors research their subjects using relevant information, primary sources, official organisations and established publications. We also organise articles carefully to make complex topics easier for readers to understand.
Source selection depends on the subject. For example, an article covering public information may refer to government departments, regulatory organisations or official statistics. Meanwhile, business, cultural or industry articles may use company information, professional organisations, reputable publications and other relevant sources.
Our writing team also aims to distinguish factual information from commentary, interpretation or opinion. Where claims depend on an external source, contributors should provide sufficient context so that readers can understand where the information comes from and assess it appropriately.
Editorial Standards for Our Authors
Accuracy, transparency and readability are important parts of our editorial approach. Our authors are encouraged to verify significant factual information, use credible sources where possible and avoid presenting unsupported assumptions as established facts.
For broader information about professional journalism standards in Ireland, readers can visit the Press Council of Ireland. The National Union of Journalists Code of Conduct also provides useful guidance on principles including accuracy, fairness and responsible journalism.
Readers interested in understanding how a major international news organisation approaches accuracy, independence and editorial integrity can also review the Reuters Journalistic Standards and Values.

How Our Writing Team Handles Updates and Corrections
Information can change after an article is published, particularly when a story concerns current events, businesses, public figures, regulations or developing subjects. For that reason, our authors and editorial team may review previously published material and update it when significant new information becomes available.
If we identify a meaningful factual error, we aim to correct the relevant information rather than leave inaccurate material online. Readers who believe an article contains an error, outdated information or important missing context are also encouraged to contact us.
Editorial feedback is useful because it helps us improve both individual articles and the overall quality of the publication.
Our Authors and Responsible Information

In particular, readers should not use our articles as a replacement for qualified legal, financial, medical, technical or other specialist advice where professional guidance is required. Where a decision could have significant personal, financial or legal consequences, readers should consult an appropriately qualified professional or official source.
