Content labeling policy
Readers should instantly understand the type of content they’re viewing. We use clear labeling when content is a press release, sponsored, affiliate-supported, or editorial reporting.
Editorial reporting
Independent coverage written for reader value and clarity. We prioritize sourcing, context, and practical takeaways.
Press releases
Announcements submitted by organizations. These are labeled so readers understand the origin and intent.
Sponsored content
Paid placements are labeled clearly. We do not allow misleading claims and may require supporting sources.
Affiliate links
If a page uses affiliate links, we disclose it. Affiliate support does not override our labeling or transparency standards.
Disclosures & conflicts of interest
Trust requires transparency. When there is sponsorship, affiliate support, or a potential conflict, we disclose it clearly.
- ✓Sponsored content: clearly labeled.
- ✓Affiliate disclosure: stated where applicable.
- ✓Entity clarity: we aim to make organizations and claims easy to verify.
- ✓No hidden intent: readers should never have to guess what they’re reading.
Corrections policy
If a factual error is identified, we aim to correct it promptly and transparently. To request a correction, email the newsroom with supporting sources and the exact URL.
How do I request a correction?
Email healthcarenewscenter@gmail.com with: (1) the page URL, (2) what you believe is incorrect, (3) what the correct information is, and (4) sources/links.
What happens after I submit a correction request?
We review the information, verify sources, and update the content if needed. Significant corrections may include a note indicating what changed.
Do you remove content?
Removal is not the default. We prioritize accuracy and transparency. If content is materially incorrect or cannot be verified, we may update or retract it.
