PUBLICATION POLICY
THE CURRENT MAGAZINE documents culture with context, attribution and a clear separation between verified information, analysis, allegation and opinion.
These standards apply to website stories, digital issues, social posts, video embeds and corrections.
01 · REPORTING
We use direct interviews, primary documents, official announcements and named credible reporting whenever they are available. Social posts may establish what a person publicly said; they are not treated as independent proof of a larger claim.
02 · ATTRIBUTION
Material claims are attributed in the story or source note. Rumor is labeled. Allegations remain allegations unless they are established by a final authoritative record.
03 · FAIRNESS
Subjects of significant criticism should have a meaningful opportunity to respond when practical. Responses, denials and relevant context belong near the claims they address.
04 · CORRECTIONS
Material factual errors are corrected promptly and disclosed on the article. Minor spelling, grammar and formatting fixes may be made without a correction note when they do not change the meaning.
05 · AI AND TOOLS
Digital tools may assist with transcription, research organization, editing, formatting and accessibility. Automated output is not treated as a source. THE CURRENT remains responsible for verification and the published result.
06 · ADVERTISING
Advertising, sponsorships and partner material are labeled and visually separated from editorial work. Payment does not purchase favorable news coverage.
