Editorial Policy
BeokNews is an English-language news service that converts and adapts licensed source articles for a global audience. This Editorial Policy sets out our standards for content production, byline conventions, and error handling.
In keeping with our mission as journalists, we observe the following principles when reporting:
- We do not report unfounded information that harms an individual’s reputation, and we protect the privacy of those we cover.
- We do not use a reporter’s position to obtain improper gain in the course of reporting.
- Our reporters refrain from any conduct that undermines the dignity of the profession.
- We do not discriminate against the socially, culturally, or politically vulnerable.
- We do not provoke conflict between regions, classes, religions, genders, or groups.
- We promptly correct any erroneous reporting.
1. Editorial Independence
BeokNews’s editorial authority is exercised independently of advertisers, partners, and external stakeholders. Decisions on translation, adaptation, and publication follow our editorial policy, and advertising or commercial interests do not influence editorial direction.
2. How We Produce Content
BeokNews articles are produced through the following process:
- Licensed source articles may be adapted and translated using AI technology when source rights permit it.
- The adapted and translated articles are published automatically on BeokNews when the publication gates pass.
- The editorial operation continuously monitors published articles and reviews or revises headlines and content as needed.
- The editorial operation manages content on an ongoing basis so that the facts of the original are not distorted.
3. Byline Principles

4. Error Handling
Where an error is found in a published article or a correction request is received, we handle it as follows:

- If an error is confirmed, we revise the article and note the correction and date at the bottom of the article.
- Where the error originated in the source text, we also notify the source publication.
Correction requests can be submitted to the contact address in the footer. See our Corrections Policy for the full procedure.
