Now Rundown is a news-forward briefing site focused on what’s happening right now. This Editorial Policy explains how we choose stories, verify information, handle corrections, and maintain editorial independence.

Our Mission

Now Rundown exists to deliver timely, accurate, and understandable coverage of the day’s most important developments—so readers can quickly grasp what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.

Core Editorial Standards

Accuracy and verification

  • We prioritize accuracy over speed and aim to confirm key facts before publication.
  • We rely on credible sources such as official statements, public records, first-hand reporting, and reputable reporting organizations.
  • When a story is developing, we clearly indicate what is confirmed and what is still being reported, and we update as new information becomes available.

Fairness and clarity

  • We aim to present information in a way that is clear and fair, without misleading framing or selective context.
  • We distinguish between straight reporting and analysis when context or interpretation is added.

Independence

  • Editorial decisions are made independently. Advertisers, sponsors, and partners do not determine what we cover or how we cover it.
  • We avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise trust. When a potential conflict exists, we disclose it or reassign the story.

Transparency

  • We work to explain where information comes from and why it matters.
  • If content includes sponsored placements, affiliate links, or paid partnerships, we label and disclose it clearly.

Respect, privacy, and sensitivity

  • We avoid unnecessary sensationalism.
  • We take extra care when coverage involves minors, private individuals, grief, or traumatic events.
  • We do not publish personal details that are not relevant to the public’s understanding of a story.

Originality and attribution

  • We do not publish plagiarized content.
  • When reporting relies on public documents or other reporting, we provide appropriate attribution.

Coverage Scope

Now Rundown covers major developments across U.S. news, world news, business, technology, weather/disasters, consumer alerts, and culture—prioritizing stories that affect daily life or are shaping public conversation.

We may choose not to publish content that is primarily:

  • Exploitative, graphic, or sensational without clear public value
  • Explicitly sexual
  • Promoting illegal activity
  • Built to inflame rather than inform

Sponsored Content and Affiliate Relationships

Now Rundown may earn revenue through advertising and, in some cases, affiliate links. These relationships do not influence editorial conclusions. When an article contains affiliate links or paid placements, we disclose it clearly.

Corrections and Updates

We take corrections seriously and aim to address errors promptly.

  • Minor updates (typos, formatting, minor clarity edits): may be corrected without a note.
  • Substantive corrections (facts that materially affect the meaning of the story): will be corrected with a clear note at the end of the article describing what changed.
  • Retractions: if a story is substantially incorrect or misleading, we will retract it with a notice explaining why.

To request a correction, email contact@nowrundown.com with:

  • The article title and link
  • What you believe is incorrect
  • Supporting information (if available)

Use of AI Tools

Now Rundown may use AI tools to support parts of the publishing workflow (for example: drafting outlines, summarizing background material, or assisting with headlines). Editorial judgment remains human-led. Any factual claims must be verified before publication, and we remain accountable for accuracy regardless of tools used.
