Our mission

Facts first, opinion kept apart

American News Update reports the news directly and keeps it separate from opinion. Every story is checked against named sources and dated so readers can see what is known and when it was known.

Developing stories are updated with clear timestamps, and corrections are published openly.

Editorial standards

How every story is handled

Every article names its author and shows its publication time. Sources are named wherever possible, and anonymous sourcing is used only when it is explained in the story and checked against independent reporting.

Corrections are published as dated notices on the affected article. Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom and kept separate from advertising and commentary, so news reporting stays independent of opinion.
