At KansasCityReport (https://kansascityreport.com/), We are committed to responsible, ethical, and independent journalism. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and standards that guide our content creation and publication process.
Editorial Independence
KansasCityReport operates with full editorial independence.
Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, political groups, or outside organizations.
Any sponsored or promotional content, if published, will be clearly labeled to distinguish it from editorial content.
Accuracy & Fairness
We strive to ensure that all published content is:
-
Accurate and well-researched
-
Based on credible and verifiable sources
-
Presented in a fair and balanced manner
We make every effort to verify facts before publication. When errors occur, we correct them promptly in line with our Corrections Policy.
Sources & Attribution
We value transparency in reporting and:
-
Use reliable primary and secondary sources
-
Attribute information properly
-
Avoid plagiarism in all forms
Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when necessary to protect individuals or serve the public interest.
Opinion & Commentary
Opinion pieces, editorials, and commentary are clearly identified and represent the views of the individual authors, not necessarily KansasCityReport as a whole.
We encourage respectful debate and diverse perspectives while maintaining journalistic integrity.
Ethical Standards
KansasCityReport follows ethical journalism standards, including:
-
Avoiding conflicts of interest
-
Respecting privacy and human dignity
-
Avoiding sensationalism or misleading headlines
-
Reporting responsibly on sensitive topics
Corrections & Updates
If a factual error is identified, we take immediate steps to correct it.
Significant corrections are noted clearly within the article.
Articles may also be updated to reflect new developments, with transparency for readers.
User-Generated Content
Comments and user submissions must remain respectful and relevant.
We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove content that is abusive, misleading, spam, or violates our standards.
Diversity & Inclusion
We aim to represent a wide range of voices, perspectives, and communities.
KansasCityReport does not tolerate discrimination, hate speech, or harassment in any form.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
AI tools may be used to assist with research, editing, or content optimization; however, final editorial decisions and responsibility remain with human editors to ensure accuracy and originality.
Accountability & Transparency
We welcome reader feedback and take concerns seriously.
Maintaining trust through transparency, accountability, and ethical reporting is central to our mission.
