Effective date: July 12, 2026
The following guidelines govern the reporting and publishing process at riderstimes.com. They exist to keep our journalism accurate, fair, and accountable.
Our Editorial Principles
Our work rests on a set of core principles, namely:
- Accuracy — we verify facts before publishing and cite reliable sources
- Fairness — we represent different sides of a story honestly
- Independence — our coverage is not dictated by advertisers or sponsors
- Transparency — we are open about who we are and how we work
- Accountability — we correct errors openly and promptly
How We Produce Content
Each story passes through research, writing, and editorial review. Editors assess it for accuracy, readability, and fairness, confirm it meets this policy, and, where relevant, invite comment from those involved.
Editorial Independence
We maintain a clear separation between editorial content and advertising. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over our reporting. Any sponsored or affiliate content is clearly labelled as such, in line with our Disclaimer.
Our Sources
We use reliable sources that can be verified and make our attributions clear. Reporting by other publications is credited, and unverified claims or rumors are not published as though they were established fact.
Fixing Errors
We work hard to be accurate, and when we fall short we fix it openly. Our Corrections Policy explains how to report an error and how corrections are handled.
Technology in Our Newsroom
Where we use technology or automated tools to assist with research or drafting, the output is reviewed and edited by a person who takes responsibility for the final content. Human editorial oversight applies to everything we publish.
