Editorial Standards

Every Parasocial story is held to a written, versioned standards record before it can be scheduled. The rules that matter most to readers:

• Sourcing. Every factual claim carries a named source. The central claim of a story needs two independent sources or it does not run. We cite at most two outside outlets per story and always prefer primary sources: the creator’s own posts, the company’s own statements, official documents.
• Quotes. Quoted words are verbatim or they are not inside quotation marks.
• No gossip. No rumors, no unverified claims, no personal-life speculation unless publicly confirmed by the creator.
• Imagery. News heroes depict the story’s subject, sourced from the subject’s own channels, official press assets, or our own library. We never use stock, agency, or paparazzi imagery.
• AI assistance, human judgment. Drafting is AI-accelerated; every story passes deterministic quality gates and a human editor approves the words before anything is scheduled. Bylines are real, consenting contributors.

The full internal rulebook is versioned, and every published story records which version it was produced under.
