Editorial policy

Northern News Compass aims to explain northern landscapes with care, clarity and a clear distinction between broad patterns and details that vary by place.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual claims against suitable references before publication and write so readers can follow the reasoning. When a subject varies by location or conditions, we say so rather than presenting one account as universal. We do not invent sources, quotations or experiences.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made separately from commercial arrangements. Any sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can tell it apart from independent editorial work. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage or editorial control.

Corrections

If a published detail is wrong or unclear, readers can contact us with the article and the point at issue. We review correction requests and make appropriate changes, clarifying the correction where that is useful to readers.

Images and illustrations

Images are selected to support the subject and should not be mistaken for evidence of a particular place or event unless identified as such. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; they are illustrative, not documentary, and are identified where used.
