The Just Now News editorial guidelines reflect our commitment to integrity, accuracy, and responsible storytelling. We believe journalism should do more than inform—it should inspire, represent, and hold space for truth across communities.
Our mission
At Just Now News, our mission is to deliver factual, relevant, and high-quality journalism that empowers readers. We aim to build trust through transparency, consistent standards, and content that resonates beyond headlines.
Every story we publish reflects our values: truth, responsibility, and purpose.
We work to ensure that our reporting is always clear, accurate, and timely. Our journalists cover stories that matter—locally and globally—and present them with clarity and accountability. Because trust is central to our platform, we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards at every step.
Editorial process and review
The Just Now News editorial guidelines outline how we approach research, reporting, and publication. We follow a strict process to ensure content meets the expectations of our readers and advertisers alike.
Our editorial process includes:
- Thorough research and fact-checking before publication
- Responsible sourcing with clear attribution
- Internal editing for tone, structure, and SEO
- Mandatory legal review before any article is published
Every story we publish receives a final review from our in-house legal team to ensure compliance with U.S. and international media law. This step protects the integrity of our newsroom and the safety of our contributors.
Storytelling approach
We believe powerful storytelling begins with purpose. At Just Now News, our writers focus on clarity, human relevance, and originality. We cover everything from breaking news to in-depth features and spotlight stories that often go untold.
Our newsroom uses multimedia elements—photos, video, and infographics—to enhance how stories are told. These tools allow our team to deliver information that is not only engaging but also easy to understand and act upon.
We do not rely on filler, speculation, or sensationalism. Instead, we focus on facts, verified perspectives, and balanced coverage. Because every reader deserves journalism they can trust, we publish with care and accountability.
Inclusion and representation
The Just Now News editorial guidelines center equity in every story. We believe media must reflect the full range of human experiences. That includes reporting across lines of race, gender, age, language, geography, and lived experience.
We actively pursue stories from underrepresented communities. Our editorial team works to ensure diverse sourcing and avoid one-sided coverage. By doing so, we help readers see a broader, more honest picture of the world around them.
This approach isn’t a trend—it’s a core standard. Every decision we make, from headline to source selection, supports our commitment to meaningful representation.
Ethics and transparency
Our newsroom follows a strict code of ethics. We do not tolerate misinformation, plagiarism, or undisclosed conflicts of interest. Our contributors must verify claims, cite sources accurately, and disclose their roles when reporting on sensitive topics.
If we discover an error after publication, we correct it immediately. All updates are noted within the article to maintain full transparency with our readers.
We also do not allow anonymous reporting unless public safety or source protection demands it—and even then, it requires multiple layers of internal approval.
Legal and compliance standards
One of the most important elements in the Just Now News editorial guidelines is our legal policy. Before publication, all articles go through a legal screening conducted by our internal counsel. This process ensures:
- No libel, defamation, or false attribution
- All copyrighted or third-party material is properly credited
- Every article complies with digital publishing laws
This legal review protects our brand and our readers. It also ensures the quality of every article remains high, regardless of topic or region.
Our commitment to readers
At Just Now News, we don’t chase trends—we build trust. Our readers rely on us for clean, reliable, and fact-checked content. Whether we’re covering a major world event or a local story, we hold ourselves to the same editorial and legal standards.
The Just Now News editorial guidelines help us deliver on that promise. They inform our process, guide our staff, and define the quality that sets us apart. These standards evolve as the media landscape changes, but our values remain firm.
Final word
Journalism is not just a job—it’s a public responsibility. Through every article we publish, we aim to inform, elevate, and connect. Our editorial team stands behind every word, every headline, and every story.
Thank you for holding us accountable, reading with purpose, and supporting journalism that makes a difference.
