Editorial principles
Primary sources over aggregators. Hedged claims where the evidence is uncertain. Bylines on every piece. Corrections published transparently with the date noted.
AI use
Most articles on The Discerning Woman are drafted with AI assistance then reviewed, edited, and signed off by a human editor. Every AI-assisted page says so. We do not publish unedited model output.
Fact-checking
Every factual claim in an article is independently verified against cited sources before publication. Uncited factual claims do not ship.
Corrections
If you find an error, tell us: [email protected]. Corrections are published within 48 hours and include a dated changelog.
Conflicts of interest
Where a writer has a financial or personal stake in a topic, it is disclosed inline. Product reviews disclose the procurement method (purchased, review unit, loaned, etc.).
What we will not do
Run undisclosed paid content. Accept payment for positive coverage. Hide AI assistance. Publish sensationalised health/finance claims.
