Corrections should be made promptly when a factual error is found. The correction should improve the page rather than hide the issue.
Read how AidWorkers.org handles sources, visible dates, corrections, donation links and news-style humanitarian coverage.
AidWorkers.org publishes public-interest humanitarian explainers, crisis pages and news analysis. The editorial standard is to be careful, source-led and useful to readers who want to help.
Figures, crisis status, funding needs and displacement numbers should be drawn from recognised sources such as OCHA, UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, FAO, IFRC, DEC, national governments or established humanitarian agencies. When information changes quickly, pages should explain that readers need to check live agency updates.
News articles must show a visible headline, publication date and time, byline, sources and update date. Articles should not be artificially refreshed without substantial new information.
Corrections should be made promptly when a factual error is found. The correction should improve the page rather than hide the issue.
Donation links are chosen for public usefulness and trust. Sponsored content must be labelled clearly if ever published.
The site does not encourage untrained people to travel into emergencies. Practical help should be safe, legal and requested.
