Editorial Standards & Practices
At Patriot News 24/7, we are guided by a clear and unwavering set of principles. We believe that true journalism requires a strong moral compass and a transparent framework. Unlike mainstream media outlets that hide their biases behind a veneer of false objectivity, we are candid about our perspective: we analyze the world through a pro-American lens.
Our commitment is to our readers and to the truth. These are the standards that govern our work.
1. The “America First” Framework
Every story we report and every analysis we provide is guided by one fundamental question: What is in the best interest of the American people and the sovereignty of the United States? Our editorial viewpoint is unapologetically patriotic. We believe this focus does not detract from our journalism; it gives it purpose and clarity.
2. Commitment to Factual Accuracy
While our perspective is clear, our foundation is built on facts. Our process begins with fact-based reporting from established global news agencies. We do not invent events or create “fake news.” Our role is to take the established facts of a story and provide the necessary context, analysis, and interpretation that is so often missing from other outlets.
3. The Principle of Transformative Analysis
We do not engage in simple paraphrasing or aggregation. Our work is transformative. Our editorial team, comprised of our Investigative Desk, Economic Analysts, and National Security Fellows, deconstructs source material to identify its underlying agenda. We then rebuild the story from the ground up, adding our own analysis and commentary to create a new, original work that provides a deeper understanding of the event. This commitment to original analysis is central to our mission and is our primary defense under the doctrine of Fair Use.
4. Distinguishing News from Opinion
We maintain a clear distinction between our news analysis and our opinion pieces.
- News Analysis: Our primary articles are based on factual events, re-framed to provide a patriotic perspective.
- Opinion: Pieces published in our “Opinion” section represent the specific viewpoint of the author and are clearly labeled as such. These articles are arguments, not news reports.
5. Ethical and Legal Guardrails
We adhere to a strict set of ethical guidelines to ensure our journalism is responsible and defensible.
- Critique of Actions, Not Assertion of Intent: Our reporting focuses on the verifiable actions of public figures and the real-world consequences of their policies. We do not claim to know a person’s private thoughts or malicious intent. We report on what they do, not what we think they feel.
- Zero Tolerance for Incitement: We do not publish content that constitutes a direct incitement to violence, targeted harassment, or illegal acts. We believe in strong, forceful debate, but we draw a firm line at language that endangers individuals or public safety.
6. Corrections Policy
We are committed to accuracy. If we make a factual error, we will correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections will be clearly noted on the article in question to ensure our readers have access to the most accurate information. Readers can submit a correction request to [[email protected]].
Our Byline Policy
To emphasize the institutional voice and collaborative nature of our work, our articles are typically attributed to our editorial desks (e.g., “Patriot News Investigative Desk,” “Senior Economic Analyst”). This reflects that each piece is the product of our collective editorial process.
Our goal at Patriot News 24/7 is to be the most trusted and authoritative voice in pro-American journalism. These standards are the foundation of that commitment.
