- Subject Matter: The level of accuracy required may vary depending on the subject matter being covered. For instance, reporting on scientific or technical topics may necessitate a higher degree of precision compared to commentary or opinion pieces.
- Nature of Content: The format and purpose of the content also play a role in determining the appropriate level of accuracy. Breaking news or live coverage may have different accuracy standards than in-depth investigative reports or feature articles.
- Constraints and Limitations: We acknowledge that there may be constraints or limitations that influence the expectation of accuracy, such as time pressures, resource availability, or access to information. In such cases, we explicitly mention and underline these constraints to provide context and transparency to our audiences.
