Editorial Standards
Glitchwire is an independent digital news publication. This page describes how we cover stories, how we handle errors, and how readers can reach us. It is updated as our practices evolve.
Independence
Glitchwire is editorially independent. We accept no sponsored editorial content. We have no protocol or platform funding tied to coverage. The publication is owned and operated by Blokhaus Inc., but coverage decisions are made by the editor without commercial influence.
We may at times cover companies whose products we use or have used. When this is meaningfully relevant to a story, we disclose it inline.
Sourcing
Where possible, we link to primary sources: company press releases, product pages, official announcements, regulatory filings, and original research papers. When a fact is sourced from another publication, we attribute it explicitly and link to that publication. We do not paraphrase reporting from other outlets without attribution.
When we cannot independently verify a claim, we say so. Phrases like “according to,” “as reported by,” “the company says,” and “details remain unconfirmed” indicate sourcing. Readers should be able to trace any factual claim back to a primary or attributed secondary source.
Editorial Process
Articles are written, edited, and fact-checked by a human editor. As part of our workflow, we use modern editorial tools, which include AI in some capacity for research aggregation and drafting. The editorial work itself, including framing, judgment, sourcing decisions, and final review and approval, is human.
No article is published without editorial review. Facts are verified against primary sources before publication. Errors that escape this process are corrected per our Corrections Policy below.
Coverage Areas
Glitchwire covers artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, technology, science, energy, policy, finance, security, gadgets, and digital culture. Stories outside these areas are generally not covered.
Corrections Policy
We correct errors as soon as they are identified. There are three kinds of corrections:
- Material factual errors (incorrect specifications, dates, names, prices, quotes) are corrected inline, with an editor's note appended noting what was changed and when.
- Significant interpretation changes (where additional information substantially changes how a story should be understood) are addressed with an update note and a timestamp.
- Minor edits (typographical errors, formatting issues, broken links) are corrected silently.
If you spot an error, please contact us using the methods below.
