How we report
The standards the Punevoice Desk works to.
Verification and attribution
- We say who the information comes from. Authorities are named by office and, where given, by rank and name.
- A claim is reported as a claim. What a complainant or the police allege is written as an allegation until a court decides.
- Where something is not known, such as a cause, a name or the number of people hurt, we say it is not known.
People in the news
- We do not name or identify victims of sexual offences.
- We do not name or identify children involved in a case.
- We take care with matters before a court.
Pictures and video
A picture or video appears on this site only when it is cleared for use here.
Use of AI
This article was written with AI assistance from a post published on punevoice's Instagram, and says only what that post says.
Where a picture is an AI-generated illustration and not a photograph of the event, it carries the tag “Illustration” and a caption beginning “Illustration (AI-generated)”.
Corrections
When we get something wrong we correct it and say so. See the corrections policy.
