At Waverly Tigers Cadence, our editorial integrity is the foundation of everything we publish. This policy outlines the standards and practices that guide our newsroom.
Our Commitment
We are committed to reporting news — local, weather, crime, and national — with accuracy, fairness, and transparency. Our goal is to inform, not to sensationalize.
Sourcing Standards
- We rely on credible, verifiable sources, including official statements, government agencies, law enforcement, meteorological data, and on-the-record interviews.
- Wherever possible, we cross-check information with multiple sources before publication.
- Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when the information is deemed reliable and in the public interest.
Accuracy & Corrections
We aim to publish accurate information at all times. If an error is identified after publication, we will correct it promptly and transparently. Significant corrections will be noted at the bottom of the relevant article.
Editorial Independence
Our news coverage is independent of advertising and business relationships. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over our editorial decisions or content.
Timeliness vs. Accuracy
While we strive to report breaking news quickly, especially for weather alerts and public safety updates, accuracy always takes priority over speed. We do not publish unverified information.
Sensitive Topics
For crime reporting and other sensitive topics, we follow responsible journalism practices — avoiding unnecessary detail, respecting victims’ privacy, and presuming innocence until proven otherwise in a court of law.
Reader Feedback
We welcome reader feedback, corrections, and story tips. All submissions are reviewed by our editorial team.
