Editorial policy

Sources and verification

We rely first on official sources: the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Emirates News Agency (WAM), ministry and government accounts, and published data. Sensitive stories are checked by a second editor before publication, and we link to the source in the story.

Accuracy before speed

We do not publish rumours or unconfirmed information. When a story develops we update it and show the update time.

Tools and calculators

Our calculators follow the text of official laws and regulations. Each tool page names the legal article and the date it was last reviewed. Results are estimates, not legal or financial advice.

Artificial intelligence

We may use AI tools to help with first-draft translation or headline ideas, but every published piece is written or reviewed by a human editor who is responsible for it. We do not publish unreviewed machine-generated content.

Sponsored content is clearly labelled "Sponsored", and advertisers have no influence on editorial coverage.

Images

We use images we have the right to publish, or official images with credit, and we do not publish content that infringes copyright.
