Editorial Policy

Our mission

Binnz exists to give readers accurate, useful and easy-to-understand information about news, jobs, education and finance. Every article should leave the reader better informed and able to check the facts for themselves.

Accuracy and sourcing

We rely on primary and official sources wherever possible, in this order of preference:

1. Government agencies, regulators and courts (for example, federal and state agencies and their official publications).
2. Official websites and documents of the institutions, schools, employers or companies we write about.
3. Reputable research organisations and established news organisations, clearly credited.

Every figure, fee, limit, deadline or statistic in an article must come from a source we have checked, and we link to that source in an “Official sources” list. If we cannot verify a claim, we leave it out. We do not invent quotes, reviews, testimonials, case studies or expert opinions.

Extra care for money, career and education topics

Articles about personal finance, jobs, visas, education and similar subjects can affect important decisions. For these topics we:

• state the date we last checked the information and the official source it came from;
• avoid promises or guarantees about approvals, admissions, jobs, earnings or returns;
• never present general information as personalised financial, legal, tax, immigration or career advice; and
• encourage readers to confirm details directly with the official source before acting.

Use of AI and other tools

We may use software tools, including AI writing and research assistants, to help with research, outlining, drafting, translation and editing. These tools do not replace human judgement. Before anything is published, a human editor reviews it, checks facts against the cited sources and takes responsibility for the final text. Featured images on our articles are original graphics or illustrations unless a credit says otherwise; they are not photographs of real events or people unless clearly credited.

Independence and conflicts of interest

Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers and partners. Advertisers cannot review, approve or change our articles before publication. Writers and editors must disclose any personal or financial interest that could reasonably be seen as affecting their work, and we will not assign them to cover that subject.

Advertising, sponsored content and affiliate links

Advertising is visually separated from editorial content. Any paid or sponsored content is labelled “Sponsored” or “Paid partnership” at the top. If an article contains affiliate links, we say so clearly near the links. Paid relationships never affect our recommendations or the facts we report.

Corrections policy

We work hard to get things right, but mistakes can happen. If you see an error, email [email protected] with the page link and what you believe is wrong, ideally with a source.

• We review every correction request.
• When a factual error is confirmed, we fix it promptly.
• For significant corrections, we add a short note at the end of the article explaining what changed and when.
• Minor fixes such as spelling or formatting are made without a note.

Updates and “Last checked” dates

Rules, fees, rates and deadlines change. We review important articles regularly and update them when the official information changes. The “Last checked” date on an article shows when we last confirmed its key facts against the sources listed.

Images and attribution

We use original graphics, our own illustrations, or images we are licensed to use. We do not use other companies’ logos or copyrighted photos without permission. When we quote or use third-party material, we credit the source.

Reader feedback

We welcome feedback and story suggestions at [email protected]. We read every message, although we cannot reply to all of them or give personal advice.
