Editorial Policy

Our Standard

MythPost's tagline — The Truth Behind Every Story — is a working standard, not a slogan. Every article we publish should leave the reader knowing what is actually known: what the evidence shows, where a claim came from, and what remains uncertain.

Original Writing

All MythPost articles are written by our own team in our own words. We never copy, spin or lightly rewrite other publications' articles. Where a story begins as a claim circulating online, we say so, and we add the reporting the claim usually lacks.

Sourcing

We trace claims back to their original sources wherever possible — the original study, the official announcement, the manufacturer's notice, the first report — rather than relying on other sites' summaries. When the original source cannot be found, we say that plainly instead of pretending otherwise. Statistics are only used when we can identify where they came from.

Verdicts

In Myth Or Truth features, our verdict reflects the documented evidence: a claim is a myth when it can be traced to an invented, mistaken or misrepresented origin and no supporting evidence exists; a claim is truth when reliable sources support it. Where the evidence is genuinely mixed, the verdict says so. We explain the reasoning inside the article, not just in the verdict box.

Accuracy And Numbers

We do not invent numbers, prices, dates or quotes. Where figures are estimates or vary by source, we say so. Quotations are used only when they are documented; where a person's position is summarised, it is presented as a summary, not placed in quotation marks.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made by the MythPost team alone. Advertisers, sponsors and partners do not review, approve or influence articles before publication, and advertising is visually distinct from editorial content.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and, for anything significant, note the correction on the article itself. Readers can flag suspected errors at [email protected]; every correction request is reviewed by a human being.

Updates

Stories that develop — recalls, benefit changes, ongoing stories — are updated as new confirmed information appears, and the article's modified date is updated accordingly. We do not silently rewrite history; substantial changes are reflected in the text.
