Emberville News exists to provide clear, useful, and independent coverage of Emberville. This policy explains the standards behind our reporting and how we handle mistakes, developing stories, and outside influence.
Accuracy and Sourcing#
We aim to verify factual claims before publication and link to primary sources whenever they are available. Official announcements, developer posts, patch notes, interviews, and other first-party materials are identified as such.
Reporting, analysis, and opinion should be distinguishable from one another. We do not present assumptions or personal interpretation as confirmed fact.
Rumors and Unconfirmed Information#
Rumors, leaks, and other unconfirmed claims must be clearly labeled. Their source and level of verification should be explained so readers can judge the information for themselves.
We may choose not to publish a claim when its origin cannot be established or when reporting it would create more confusion than value.
Corrections and Updates#
Material factual errors will be corrected as promptly as possible. When a correction meaningfully changes the substance of an article, the article will include a visible correction or update note.
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, and clarity edits may be made without a separate notice when they do not change the meaning of the article.
Developing stories may be updated as new information becomes available. The article’s updated date and any relevant update note will help readers understand when the coverage changed.
Editorial Independence#
Emberville News is an independent fan publication. Coverage decisions and opinions are our own and are not directed by Cygnus Cross International Ltd. or another outside organization.
We do not promise favorable coverage in exchange for access, promotional materials, products, payment, or other consideration.
Disclosures#
Any sponsored content, affiliate relationship, complimentary product, or other material connection relevant to an article will be disclosed clearly to readers.
Community Contributions#
Community tips, screenshots, quotes, and other submissions will be reviewed before publication. Contributors will be credited when appropriate, and anonymous sourcing will be used only when there is a reasonable need to protect the source.
Policy Updates#
This policy may evolve as Emberville News grows. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
