Editorial Policy

TruePickUS

Last Updated: January 2026

At TruePickUS, editorial integrity and reader trust come first. This Editorial Policy explains how our content is created, reviewed, and published, and how we maintain independence while operating a sustainable digital news platform.

1. Our Editorial Mission

TruePickUS exists to:

  • Inform readers about U.S. news and current events
  • Provide clear context and practical understanding
  • Help readers connect headlines to real-world impact

Our primary focus is journalism, not product promotion.

2. Content Structure

Our editorial output follows a clear model:

  • Approximately 80% News & Editorial Content
    • Breaking news
    • Analysis and explainers
    • Public-interest reporting
  • Approximately 20% Contextual Consumer Content
    • Product mentions or recommendations
    • Tools or resources relevant to a specific topic

Product references appear only when they naturally fit the story and serve a practical purpose for readers.

3. Editorial Independence

TruePickUS maintains full editorial independence.

  • Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or affiliate partners
  • We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage
  • News stories are not shaped or altered to promote products

Affiliate relationships do not affect how topics are selected or reported.

4. Affiliate & Commercial Content Standards

TruePickUS participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

Our standards include:

  • Affiliate links are disclosed transparently
  • Product mentions are informational, not promotional
  • We do not guarantee outcomes or endorse products blindly
  • Readers are never required to purchase anything

All commercial references exist to support the reader, not to drive sales.

5. Accuracy & Corrections

We strive for accuracy, clarity, and fairness.

  • Information is researched using credible sources
  • When errors are identified, corrections are made promptly
  • Significant updates are reflected within the article when necessary

We welcome readers to notify us of factual inaccuracies.

7. Use of Sources

We rely on:

  • Public records and official statements
  • Reputable news agencies

Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and with editorial review.

8. Sponsored Content
