Publishing Principles
This page describes the editorial standards and publishing principles that govern all content produced and distributed by Daily AI Mail. These principles apply to every article, analysis, statistic, tool review, and page published on this domain. They are made public so that readers, sources, and external parties can evaluate the publication’s practices and hold it accountable to them.
These standards were established at the publication’s founding and are reviewed periodically to ensure they reflect best practices in digital journalism and AI-specific reporting.
1. Accuracy and Factual Verification
Accuracy is the publication’s primary editorial obligation. No claim is published unless it can be traced to a verifiable primary source. Primary sources recognized by Daily AI Mail include:
- Official announcements from companies, governments, research institutions, or regulatory bodies
- Peer-reviewed or preprint research papers from named authors and institutions
- Government filings, legislative records, court documents, and regulatory decisions
- Verified data from established research firms, statistical agencies, or primary survey data
- Direct statements from named individuals obtained through interview or official communication
Secondary sources — articles from other publications, social media posts, or unattributed summaries — are not treated as primary evidence. Where a secondary source is referenced, it is attributed explicitly and the reader is directed toward the underlying primary source where one exists.
When a fact cannot be verified through a primary source within the publication’s editorial timeline, it is either held for confirmation or published with explicit attribution to a named party and without editorial endorsement of its accuracy.
2. Source Attribution and Transparency
Daily AI Mail attributes all significant claims to their sources. Attribution takes one of three forms:
Named attribution is the standard. Sources who provide information on record are identified by name and institutional affiliation. This is the preferred and default form of attribution.
Institutional attribution is used when a named individual cannot be identified but an institutional source — a company spokesperson, a government department, a research team — can be verified. The institution is named and the nature of the attribution is described.
Anonymous attribution is used only when a source has a compelling reason not to be named, has provided information that can be partially corroborated through independent means, and has been informed that the information will be published. The publication discloses the existence and general nature of an anonymous source without revealing identifying information.
The publication does not publish information from sources it cannot characterize in any of the above ways.
3. Editorial Independence
Daily AI Mail’s editorial decisions — what to cover, how to frame a story, which sources to include, what conclusions to draw — are made by the editorial team without influence from advertisers, commercial partners, investors, or any external party.
The publication maintains a clear and enforced separation between its editorial operations and its commercial operations. Individuals responsible for advertising or partnership relationships do not participate in editorial decisions and have no visibility into story selection or pre-publication content.
No company, individual, or organization can pay to receive positive coverage, suppress negative coverage, or influence the framing of editorial content. This prohibition applies to all entities including those with which Daily AI Mail maintains commercial relationships of any kind.
4. Conflicts of Interest
Writers and editors at Daily AI Mail are required to disclose any financial, professional, or personal relationship with an entity they are reporting on. Disclosed conflicts are reviewed by the editorial team and one of the following decisions is made:
- The writer proceeds with appropriate disclosure added to the published article
- The writer is recused from the story and a different writer is assigned
- The story is held pending reassignment
Readers who identify a potential undisclosed conflict of interest in published content are encouraged to report it through the Contact page. All such reports are reviewed.
5. AI-Generated Content Policy
Daily AI Mail covers the AI industry. It is therefore necessary to state clearly the role artificial intelligence tools play in the publication’s own content production.
AI writing tools may be used by writers for research assistance, drafting support, or editing suggestions. They are not used as the primary authors of published content. Every article published under a named byline represents the intellectual work of that named human writer — the research decisions, the source selection, the editorial framing, and the final text.
Where AI tools contribute meaningfully to a piece, that contribution is disclosed. The publication does not publish AI-generated content presented as original human reporting.
Statistics, data summaries, and reference content on this site that are generated or structured with AI assistance are labeled accordingly and subject to the same factual verification standards as all other content.
6. Corrections Policy
Daily AI Mail is committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. The correction process is as follows:
When an error is identified — whether by a reader, a source, a third party, or the editorial team — it is reviewed and assessed for severity. Factual errors, whether minor or significant, are corrected in the published article. The correction is appended to the article in a visible correction notice that specifies: what the original text stated, what the correct information is, and the date the correction was made.
Articles are not silently edited after publication. Any change to published factual content is accompanied by a correction notice or an update note specifying what was modified and when.
Errors can be reported through the Contact page. The publication aims to review and respond to correction requests within 48 hours.
7. Sponsored and Commercial Content
Daily AI Mail distinguishes between editorial content and commercial content at all times. Sponsored articles, paid placements, and advertiser-funded content are labeled clearly and conspicuously as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “Partner Content” — whichever label most accurately describes the commercial arrangement.
Commercial labels appear at the top of sponsored content, before the body text begins. Sponsored content does not appear in the same editorial templates as organic reporting without clear visual and textual differentiation.
Affiliate links — where the publication receives a commission if a reader purchases a product or service — are disclosed in articles where they appear. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence editorial coverage of the affiliated product or company.
8. Privacy in Reporting
Daily AI Mail follows standard journalistic practices for the protection of individual privacy. The publication does not publish private information about individuals — including personal contact details, home addresses, financial details, medical information, or other sensitive data — without the explicit consent of the individual concerned, unless the information is already part of the public record through official proceedings, regulatory disclosure, or the individual’s own public statements.
For public figures acting in their public capacity, a reduced privacy standard applies in line with accepted journalistic norms. Coverage of public figures focuses on their public roles, statements, and actions.
9. Linking and Citation Standards
Daily AI Mail links to primary sources in all articles where a primary source is available. Readers are expected to be able to follow citations to their origin. Paywalled sources are identified as such so readers can make informed decisions about pursuing them.
The publication does not manipulate links to external sources for SEO purposes. All outbound links to third-party sources are followed naturally. Nofollow or sponsored link attributes are applied only where technically and editorially appropriate.
10. Updates to These Principles
These publishing principles are reviewed by the editorial team at least annually. Substantive changes are noted at the top of this page with a revision date and a summary of what changed. Readers who have questions about these principles or their application to specific content are invited to contact the editorial team through the Contact page.
These principles were last reviewed and updated on 15 March 2026.
