Editorial policy

Urban Champion Stories aims to make city life easier to understand through clear, careful editorial work. Our standards apply to features, explainers and material created with partners.

Accuracy and context

We check factual statements against appropriate sources before publication and write in a way that preserves context. Where a subject is uncertain, contested or variable between places, we say so rather than imply a universal answer. We do not invent people, events, statistics or firsthand experience.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Partner or sponsored material is identified plainly wherever it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independently edited coverage. A partnership does not guarantee favourable editorial treatment.

Corrections

If a published item contains an error, readers can contact us through the Contact page. We review the information, correct substantiated errors and make significant changes clear to readers.

Images and illustrations

Images are selected to support the subject and should not mislead readers about a real place or event. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where relevant, that use is identified.
