Editorial Policy
The editorial standard at Badger State Bulletin is straightforward: Make the headline clear, preserve the detail and distinguish a community announcement from reported news.
Evidence before publication
Check names, dates, quotations, figures and the rights to text and photographs. Do not invent missing information. Owner-supplied announcements and opinion should be recognizable as such; a promotional claim needs attribution.
Original context
We preserve source publication dates where available. Old event notices are not current announcements. A photograph must represent its subject honestly and have useful alternative text.
Editing and accountability
Assisted drafting is subject to editorial review. AI is not a source and rewriting does not grant republication rights. Material factual concerns are assessed against the available evidence; see Corrections for the process.
