At Codego Press, journalistic integrity is the foundation of everything we publish. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles, standards, and practices that govern our newsroom. It applies to all editorial staff, contributors, and content published under the Codego Press name.

Editorial Independence

Codego Press operates with full editorial independence. While we are part of the Codego Group ecosystem, our editorial decisions — including what stories to cover, how to cover them, and what conclusions to draw — are made solely by our editorial team. No commercial, advertising, or corporate interest influences our reporting.

Our business and editorial operations are strictly separated. Advertisers and sponsors have no input into or advance knowledge of editorial content.

Accuracy & Fact-Checking

We are committed to publishing accurate, well-sourced information. Our editorial process includes:

  • Verification: All factual claims are verified before publication using primary sources, official documents, or direct confirmation from involved parties.
  • Multiple sources: For consequential stories, we seek corroboration from multiple independent sources.
  • Attribution: We clearly attribute information to its source. Direct quotes are used accurately and in context.
  • Linking: Where possible, we link to original sources, official reports, and primary documents so readers can verify information independently.

Corrections & Updates

We believe transparency is essential to maintaining trust. When errors occur, we correct them promptly and openly:

  • Corrections: Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified. A correction notice is appended to the article clearly stating what was changed and when.
  • Updates: When a story develops after publication, we update the article and mark it with an "[Updated]" notice indicating the date and nature of the update.
  • Retractions: In the rare event that an article is found to be fundamentally flawed, we will retract it with a full explanation.

Readers can report errors by contacting [email protected].

Use of Artificial Intelligence

We leverage AI-assisted tools to enhance our editorial workflow, including translation and content optimization. All published content undergoes editorial review to ensure accuracy, quality, and adherence to our standards. AI tools are used to augment — not replace — human editorial judgment.

Specifically:

  • AI-assisted translation enables us to publish in seven languages (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Turkish), broadening access to our reporting.
  • AI tools may assist with research, summarization, and content structuring during the editorial process.
  • Final editorial decisions — including story selection, framing, and publication approval — are always made by human editors.

Conflicts of Interest

We hold ourselves to strict standards regarding conflicts of interest:

  • Codego Group coverage: When covering products, services, or activities of Codego Group (including CodegoPay, PressNow, or other affiliated entities), we clearly disclose the relationship at the top of the article.
  • Financial interests: Editorial staff and contributors must disclose any financial interest in companies or products they cover.
  • Gifts and incentives: Our editorial team does not accept gifts, payments, or incentives from sources or subjects of coverage that could compromise — or appear to compromise — editorial independence.

Codego Press maintains a clear distinction between editorial and commercial content:

  • All sponsored content, advertorials, and paid partnerships are clearly and prominently labeled.
  • We do not engage in pay-for-play journalism. Editorial coverage cannot be purchased.
  • Advertising placement has no influence on editorial decisions or story selection.

Diversity of Perspectives

We strive to represent a broad range of viewpoints in our coverage. This includes seeking comment from multiple stakeholders, covering underrepresented voices in the technology and finance sectors, and acknowledging when there are legitimate differences of opinion on complex issues.

Source Protection

We protect the confidentiality of our sources. When a source requests anonymity, we honor that commitment while ensuring the information they provide can be independently verified. We use anonymous sources sparingly and only when the information is of significant public interest and cannot be obtained through other means.

Reader Engagement

We value our readers and welcome their participation in our journalism:

  • Readers are encouraged to submit tips, corrections, and feedback to [email protected].
  • We review all reader communications and respond to substantive inquiries.
  • Reader feedback may inform future coverage decisions and editorial improvements.

Compliance

Our editorial practices comply with applicable European regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding the handling of personal data in our reporting.

Policy Review

This Editorial Policy is reviewed periodically and updated as necessary to reflect evolving best practices in journalism and changes in our operational environment.
