News, Opinion, Press Releases & Sponsored Content

News content is intended primarily to report facts, developments, events, and relevant context. News reporting may involve editorial judgment about what is important, but it should not intentionally present personal opinion as established fact.

Analysis may interpret events, evidence, trends, or consequences and should be labeled when the distinction is important. Opinion and commentary express viewpoints and should be presented in a way that allows readers to recognize their nature.

Founder commentary should be clearly distinguishable from straight news when it expresses the founder's personal perspective.

Press releases and official statements communicate the position of the issuing person or organization. When SGN publishes such material, it should be labeled so readers understand that it originated as an organizational or official communication rather than independent reporting.

SGN may publish or display material originating from connected organizations or affiliated websites. Such material should identify its source where appropriate and should not be represented as original SGN reporting unless SGN has independently developed the story.

If SGN introduces sponsored or paid content, it should be clearly labeled and reasonably distinguishable from independent editorial content. Payment should not be concealed in a manner that could mislead readers about the nature of the material.
