Editorial Policy

Blog Herald is an independent publication covering blogging and digital publishing. Our editorial standards are designed to ensure clarity, accuracy, and long-term usefulness for readers. This policy explains how content is created, reviewed, and maintained on Blog Herald.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions at Blog Herald are made independently. Advertising, sponsorships, and partnerships do not determine what we publish or how topics are covered. Sponsored content is clearly labeled and separated from editorial reporting.

What we publish

We focus on blogging as a publishing medium. Coverage includes:

Blogging news and industry developments
Blog platforms, tools, and publishing technology
Search visibility, SEO, and traffic discovery
Content strategy and digital publishing practices
Commentary and analysis related to online publishing

We do not publish general lifestyle, personal development, or unrelated entertainment content.

Our editorial process

Every article published on Blog Herald goes through a structured editorial pipeline:

Source research — We trace stories back to primary sources: official platform announcements, documentation, company statements, peer-reviewed research, and reporting from established wire services.
Writing — Articles are written to inform readers with real context, not surface-level takes. We prioritize clarity and practical usefulness over volume.
Fact-checking — Factual claims are verified against source material. Statistics are traced to their origin. Claims that cannot be verified are softened or removed.
Editorial review — All content is reviewed by a human editor before publication.

Sources and accuracy

We aim to publish accurate, verifiable information. When possible, we rely on primary sources, official announcements, documentation, and direct statements from platforms or companies. If information is updated or corrected after publication, articles may be revised to reflect the most accurate version available.

Corrections

If a factual error is identified, we correct it as promptly as possible. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected article. Readers are encouraged to report errors or outdated information via our Contact page.

Use of AI tools

We use AI tools as part of our publishing workflow. AI assists with research, source discovery, drafting, fact-checking support, and post-publication quality audits including broken-link scans and source verification.

Human editors review, fact-check, and approve all content prior to publication.

AI does not make editorial decisions — it does not choose what we cover, what angle a story takes, or what gets published. Those decisions are made by our editors, and editorial responsibility for accuracy rests with Blog Herald.

We do not use AI to fabricate quotes, invent sources, or present AI-generated content as first-hand reporting from real individuals.

Contributors and authorship

Blog Herald publishes under named editors and contributors. We do not present fabricated personas or attach false professional credentials to bylines. Editorial responsibility for accuracy rests with Blog Herald. Content published under the Blog Herald editorial byline is reviewed and approved by our named editors — see our Editorial Staff page.

Updates and archival content

Blog Herald has been publishing since 2003. Some older articles may reflect tools, platforms, or practices that are no longer current. Where appropriate, legacy content may be updated, revised, archived, or removed to maintain relevance and quality.

Network editorial standards

Blog Herald is published by Brown Brothers Media. Our standards are part of a broader editorial framework that applies across the Brown Brothers Media network of publications. See the Brown Brothers Media editorial framework for the full picture.

Our responsibility to readers

Blog Herald exists to document and explain changes in blogging and digital publishing. We prioritize clarity over volume, practical usefulness over hype, and transparency in sourcing and sponsorship.
