What we publish
We choose topics because readers are actively looking for context, then ask whether a concise, sourced explanation can add value. Search interest helps us notice a subject; it does not establish that any claim about it is true.
How we use sources
We begin with original documents, direct statements, public records, and official media when they are available. Independent reporting adds context, challenges omissions, and helps distinguish a verified fact from an interpretation. Important claims are checked across more than one credible source when the evidence allows it.
Verification and updates
Names, dates, quotations, numbers, and media context are checked before publication. When a meaningful fact changes or an error is found, the source is checked again before the article is updated. A serious accuracy or rights concern can require the story to be removed while it is reviewed.
Images and media
Visuals must clarify the reporting and have a documented right to use. We prefer official embeds, licensed or original images, and graphics created for the explanation. Generated visuals do not carry captions; alternative text describes what is shown, and provenance is retained in the editorial record.
English, Korean, Hindi, Japanese, and Portuguese editions
Each page belongs to one language edition. A language switch opens a verified translation when one exists; otherwise it clearly returns to that edition’s homepage. The editions may cover different topics when the evidence and reader need differ.
Who is responsible
Why It Trends Editorial is responsible for source checks, final wording, rights decisions, and publication. Why It Trends Review Desk provides the public review role. Tools may help gather, organize, or draft material, but they do not replace those responsibilities. Our operating policies explain the current privacy and measurement practices.
