HiveWire Daily
Policies
HiveWire Daily is committed to responsible, transparent, and independent journalism. The following policies outline how we operate, how we source information, and what readers can expect from our reporting and engagement.
Editorial Independence
HiveWire Daily is independently owned and operated. We are not affiliated with political parties, government agencies, corporations, or advocacy groups. Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, donors, or partners.
Advertising, sponsorships, and partnerships do not affect story selection, coverage, or editorial judgment.
Sourcing & Accuracy
We prioritize accuracy, clarity, and verification in all reporting.
Primary sources such as official press releases, public records, court documents, and direct statements are used whenever available.
Quotes are published verbatim and are never altered or paraphrased.
When information is developing or incomplete, we clearly state what is known and what is not.
Corrections are made promptly when factual errors are identified. (see corrections policy below)
Corrections Policy
If a factual error is confirmed, the article will be updated as soon as possible with verified information and include a correction or clarification note when appropriate.
Readers may report potential errors by contacting our editorial team through the site’s contact page. Please ensure these are verifiable from an official source before submission.
Opinion vs. News
HiveWire Daily clearly distinguishes between:
News reporting, which is factual, balanced, and source-based
Opinion or commentary, which reflects personal viewpoints and is labeled as such
Our news coverage is written to maintain a neutral, non-partisan tone.
Community Standards & Comments
We encourage thoughtful, respectful discussion. Comments may be removed if they include: hate speech or harassment, personal attacks, misinformation presented as fact, threats or incitement to violence, or spam or promotional content
Moderation decisions are made to maintain constructive dialogue and community safety.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
HiveWire Daily may implement AI tools to assist with: editing, formatting, and/or workflow efficiency. We do not use AI to replace editorial judgment, reporting, or fact-checking. All published content is reviewed by a human editor prior to publication.
Sponsored Content & Advertising
Sponsored content, paid partnerships, or promotional material—when present—are clearly labeled. HiveWire Daily does not publish undisclosed advertorial content.
Privacy Policy
We respect reader privacy. We do not sell personal information. Analytics and cookies may be used to understand readership trends and improve site performance. Email subscriptions are opt-in and can be canceled at any time.
Transparency & Accountability
We believe trust is earned through transparency. Our goal is to serve Southern Oregon and Northern California with journalism that is accurate, fair, and rooted in verified information.
