At Digital Marketing Ada Oklahoma, our editorial policy reflects our commitment to delivering accurate, balanced, and community-focused content. We take our responsibility as a local news and media platform seriously and are dedicated to maintaining the trust of our readers in Ada, Oklahoma, and across the U.S.
1. Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently from advertisers, sponsors, or outside influences. We uphold the integrity of our reporting and do not allow financial relationships to affect our content, tone, or news coverage.
2. Accuracy and Accountability
We strive for accuracy, clarity, and transparency in all published content. Our writers and editors fact-check articles using reliable sources before publication. If errors are identified, we correct them promptly and note the changes when appropriate.
3. Original and Ethical Reporting
All our articles are written in-house or by verified contributors. We do not tolerate plagiarism and ensure content originality through proper citations, fact-checking, and editorial review. Any content sourced from third parties is credited appropriately.
4. Corrections and Updates
If factual errors occur, we issue corrections promptly in the article or as a footnote. We are committed to transparency and will clearly label updated or revised articles with a date of modification when needed.
5. Anonymous Sources and Confidentiality
We use anonymous sources only when necessary and when the information is crucial to public interest. Their identities are protected to ensure safety and integrity. We assess credibility before publishing such content.
6. Opinion vs. News
We distinguish between opinion pieces and factual news reporting. Opinion articles are clearly marked and reflect the views of the authors, not necessarily the views of Digital Marketing Ada Oklahoma as a whole.
7. Editorial Review Process
Each article goes through a multi-step review process by our editorial team, which ensures compliance with our quality standards, readability guidelines, and editorial mission.
8. Community Contributions
We welcome community voices, guest posts, and user-submitted stories that align with our editorial standards. All submissions are reviewed and may be edited for clarity, tone, or length before publication.
