Editorial Policy

user

At Seoul Chronicle, our aim is to deliver insightful, trustworthy journalism that enriches our readers’ understanding of the world. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, clarity, and independence in every story we publish.

Editorial Independence

Seoul Chronicle maintains complete editorial autonomy. Our editorial decisions—what to cover and how to cover it—are guided exclusively by the principles of truthfulness and public interest. We do not allow advertisers, sponsors, or any external parties to influence our editorial output.

Accuracy & Verification

Reliable journalism is rooted in accuracy. We enforce a thorough verification process before publication: every fact is checked, sources are vetted, and articles undergo editorial review. If an error is found after publication, we commit to correcting it promptly and transparently.

Sources & Attribution

We use only dependable, verifiable sources. When we rely on anonymous sources, it is only when the information is essential to the public interest and the identity of the source must be protected. In all cases, we clearly attribute information and indicate when anonymity has been granted.

Opinion & Analysis

Op-eds and commentary pieces reflect the individual values and insights of their authors, and not necessarily the editorial stance of Seoul Chronicle. These articles are clearly marked as Opinion or Editorial. We welcome diverse, well-informed perspectives, provided they respect our principles of fairness and factual integrity.

Corrections & Feedback

We believe in accountability and continuous improvement. If you notice an inaccuracy or have feedback on our coverage, please reach out to our editorial team. We review all valid concerns and, when necessary, publish our corrections in a transparent manner.

Ethical Standards

Our journalists adhere to the highest ethical standards: honesty, respect for individuals’ rights and dignity, fairness, and responsibility to the public. We strictly prohibit plagiarism, hate speech, and misleading representations.

Transparency & Sponsored Content

Whenever Seoul Chronicle publishes sponsored or branded content, it is clearly labelled to maintain the trust of our readership. We keep all commercial partnerships separate from our editorial operation to safeguard our independence.

Our Commitment

At Seoul Chronicle, we believe that well-informed communities are stronger. Through in-depth reporting, balanced analysis, and unwavering integrity, we strive to inform, engage, and empower our audience every day.
