Editorial Standards

Gulf Radar covers Gulf-region politics, energy, security, money, technology, society and climate through reported explainers, timelines and topic pages. The aim is to help readers understand what changed, why it matters and which sources support the claim.

Published pages cite source links, identify image credits and licenses, and separate source-backed facts from analysis. Sensitive stories involving conflict, legal claims, deaths, sanctions, market-moving information or allegations require human review before publication.

Sourcing

Gulf Radar prefers primary sources such as official advisories, filings, communiques, public data, company statements and regulator notices. Reputable news outlets may be used for reported context, but outside reporting is attributed close to the relevant claim and is not treated as copy to rewrite.

Editorial Tools

Software tools may assist with monitoring public sources, organising notes, extracting entities and checking consistency. Claims, dates, sources and image rights are checked against the references before publication. Synthetic images are not used as documentary news photos.

Attribution

Gulf Radar does not publish lightly rewritten versions of other publishers' reporting. If a story depends on another outlet's original reporting, that outlet is credited. If the sourcing is too thin or the page cannot add meaningful Gulf Radar context, the item should remain unpublished or be folded into an existing topic page.

Corrections

Substantial corrections update the visible page and the structured dateModified field. Old articles should not be deleted and republished under new URLs to create artificial freshness. See the corrections policy for more detail.
