Editorial Policy

This editorial policy explains how Inter Bellum News approaches reporting, analysis, and opinion, and how editorial responsibility is structured.

Editorial purpose

Inter Bellum News publishes journalism focused on context, explanation, and long-term developments in global affairs. Our aim is to help readers understand why events happen and how they are shaped by political, historical, and economic factors.

Types of content

We publish the following types of content:

• Reporting, which presents factual information based on available evidence and sourcing.
• Analysis, which examines causes, implications, and broader context.
• Opinion, which reflects the views of the author and is clearly labeled.
• Explainers and long-form articles intended to provide background and clarity.

We distinguish clearly between reporting, analysis, and opinion.

Editorial responsibility and oversight

Editorial responsibility at Inter Bellum News is held by two editors who oversee publication decisions.

Contributors work under different levels of editorial oversight depending on experience:

• Junior contributors are subject to regular editorial review prior to publication.
• Senior contributors operate with greater autonomy, with editorial review applied as appropriate.

All published content remains subject to editorial responsibility.

Editorial diversity

Inter Bellum News is produced by contributors and editors from a range of cultural and geographic backgrounds. Our team includes individuals based in and connected to multiple regions across Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America.

Our contributors and editors have lived or worked in countries including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Pakistan, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and Indonesia.

Editorial standards and oversight apply equally to all contributors, regardless of background or location.

Accuracy, sourcing, and attribution

We strive for accuracy in all published material. Sources are evaluated critically and claims are checked where possible.

Where available, we link to primary sources, official documents, original statements, and source material to allow readers to verify information independently. Quoted material is attributed clearly.

Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when necessary. The reason for anonymity is considered before publication.

Developing and unverified information

In fast-moving situations, we may report on developments that are not yet fully verified. In such cases, this is stated clearly within the article.

Articles involving unverified or preliminary information are updated as new facts become available.

Corrections and updates

We take corrections seriously. When an error is identified, we aim to correct it promptly.

• Corrections are made transparently.
• Substantive updates or corrections are noted within the article.
• Updated publication times are displayed where changes have been made.

Readers who wish to report errors or raise concerns can contact us at info@interbellumnews.com.

Independence and conflicts of interest

Inter Bellum News is not aligned with any government, political party, ideology, or commercial interest.

Contributors are required to disclose relevant conflicts of interest. Where appropriate, such conflicts are disclosed to readers.

Use of tools and assistance

We may use digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to assist with research, drafting, transcription, or editing.

All content is reviewed by a human editor prior to publication. Editorial judgment, fact-checking, and final responsibility remain human-led.

Review and updates

This editorial policy may be updated over time to reflect changes in editorial practice. The current version applies to all published content.
