Editorial Principles

Gist 7 aims to cover "only what you need to know in a flood of news," with summaries and analysis readers can trust. These are the principles we follow when choosing, writing, reviewing, and correcting stories.

1. Accuracy and sources

• Every article is checked against at least two reliable sources, all listed under "Sources" at the end.
• We prioritize official announcements, primary documents, and reputable news outlets, and confirm that every source link actually opens before publishing.
• Figures, dates, and quotes are checked against the sources. Anything we cannot verify is left out or clearly marked as unconfirmed.

2. Separating facts from analysis

• We write facts (what happened) separately from analysis (why it matters and what it means).
• Forecasts and opinions are attributed to whoever made them and are not presented as certainties.

3. Review and translation

• Every article is reviewed by a person for content and sources before publication, and a person decides whether it is published.
• The English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese editions are adapted from the Korean original for local readers, and only reviewed languages are published.

4. Corrections and updates

• When an error is confirmed, we fix it promptly. If the content changes meaningfully, the article shows a "Last updated" date.
• Correction requests and tips are welcome at the contact below. We will let you know whether and how they were applied.

5. Independence and advertising

• Ads appear only in places clearly separated from article content, and advertisers have no say over topics or content.
• We do not publish paid or sponsored articles. If we ever do, they will be clearly labeled near the headline.

6. Bylines

• Articles produced together by our editors are credited to "Gist 7 Editorial Team." Articles written or reviewed by an individual show that person's name and background.
