Editorial Policy
19News.au is a product of United Tech and Solutions, proudly made for Australia.
Publishing standards
We aim to publish timely, useful and locally relevant Australian news. Headlines, summaries and article bodies should accurately reflect the available information and avoid exaggeration. Community reports are useful leads, but they are not treated as confirmed facts until reviewed.
Accuracy and sources
Reports should be supported by direct observation, official notices, reputable sources, photos, documents or clearly identified community submissions. Source links are encouraged for all posts and required for higher-risk claims before approval where possible. Posts involving crime, courts, emergencies, health, safety, councils or government action must use cautious wording and should include a source URL or source note before publication.
Crime, emergency and safety wording
19News.au avoids naming suspects, assigning blame or stating legal conclusions unless those details are supported by official or clearly reliable source material. Wording such as “reported”, “alleged”, “under investigation” and “further details may be updated” may be used where facts are still developing. For emergencies in Australia, readers should call 000 and follow official advice; 19News.au is not an emergency service.
AI-assisted content
Where AI-assisted or rule-based tools are used for quality checks, headline suggestions, excerpts, alt text, duplicate detection, category/location suggestions, moderation screening, fact-check checklists, SEO checks or translation briefs, material should still be reviewed by a human before publication. AI output must not be treated as a source of fact and must not add unsupported names, quotes, numbers, police details, council statements, court outcomes or medical claims.
Human review and moderation
Community reports are checked before publication. Moderation may reject unverifiable allegations, harmful instructions, harassment, hate speech, explicit material, spam, impersonation, private personal data, copied material, fake alerts or content that could mislead readers during emergencies.
Corrections
When a material error is identified, the team reviews the issue and updates, unpublishes or removes material where appropriate. See the Corrections Policy.
