At AITAH.app, we’re committed to honesty, accuracy, and thoughtful storytelling. In a world flooded with noise, we believe journalism should feel human, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We strive to ensure our platform doesn’t cause harm, spread misinformation, or lose sight of the people behind the stories. Everything we publish is guided by compassion, clarity, and truth.
We Welcome Your Feedback
This platform isn’t just for storytelling, it’s for dialogue. We value your feedback, questions, and even your criticisms.
Your insights help us:
- Clarify stories or expand on what matters most
- Discover new perspectives, voices, and sources
- Respond quickly to community concerns or corrections
You can connect with us:
- Through our Contact Us page
- On our social channels
- Via the author bios and social profiles linked on each story
We’re here, and we’re listening.
Diversity and Representation
AITAH.app serves a global, diverse community. We aim to reflect that in our content, our editorial choices, and our team.
We work to:
- Accurately represent people of all backgrounds and identities
- Publish inclusive content that respects the lived experiences of our readers
- Offer a platform for underrepresented voices, without tokenizing or stereotyping
Being inclusive is not a trend, it’s a responsibility.
Editorial Ethics, Our Core Principles
We follow the Ethical Journalism Network’s Five Principles, along with the SPJ Code of Ethics and IPSO’s Editors’ Code.
Here’s how those standards guide our work:
1. Truth & Accuracy
We aim to get it right, every time. If we can’t verify a detail, we’ll say so. If we get it wrong, we’ll fix it and take responsibility.
2. Independence
Our writers don’t speak for any political party, corporation, or interest group. Editorial independence is non-negotiable.
3. Fairness & Impartiality
We add context, consider multiple viewpoints, and aim for balance. Hot takes have a place, but facts come first.
4. Humanity
We write with care. If a story risks hurting someone, especially in vulnerable or sensitive situations, we take a pause and ask: Is this worth it? If not, we don’t publish.
5. Accountability
Mistakes happen. When they do, we fix them transparently and promptly. We listen to you, own our errors, and learn from them.
Correction Policy
If something we’ve published is inaccurate or misleading, we want to know, and we’ll correct it quickly.
Our editorial team regularly audits content to maintain accuracy. If you spot a mistake, please email us at: [email protected]
Our Editorial Independence
We cover complex, emotional, and often controversial stories, but we never let special interests influence our coverage.
Our writers and editors:
- Disclose any potential conflicts of interest
- Avoid involvement with political or corporate agendas
- Prioritize neutrality and transparency in every story
We’re not here to sway, we’re here to inform, explore, and reflect.
Bylines and Transparency
Every article published on AITAH.app includes:
- The author’s full name
- A short bio
- Links to their social profiles or other public work
If a byline is omitted (rarely), we’ll explain why, usually for privacy, sensitive topics, or team-wide efforts. Either way, we always welcome correction requests or content concerns at: [email protected]
Anonymous Sources
We use anonymous sources only when necessary, and only when we’re confident in the source’s credibility and reasoning.
Anonymous content is permitted only when:
- The info is essential and cannot be obtained otherwise
- The source has direct access and is reliable
- The editorial team gives written approval
We follow the SPJ Code of Ethics closely, especially around transparency, motives, and attribution.
Fact-Checking Standards
Accuracy is non-negotiable.
To keep our reporting sharp and truthful, AITAH.app:
- Credits and links to every source used
- Encourages skepticism and double-checking for sensitive topics
- Provides writers with clear guidance on what’s considered credible
- Requires clear distinction between fact, opinion, and speculation
- Reviews and audits articles regularly
If we’re ever wrong, we admit it, and fix it fast.
Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism
We have a strict no-plagiarism policy. Any writer found copying another’s work, without proper credit or permission, will face immediate disciplinary action, including potential termination.
Original work is the foundation of trust. We protect it fiercely.
Spoiler Handling
Nobody likes unexpected spoilers.
Whenever a post might contain spoilers, whether for a show, game, or real-life story twist, we clearly mark it before it appears in the article. You’ll see a spoiler warning up top, giving you the chance to opt in (or out).
