Open Content Policy
Â鶹´«Ã½ regards all websites that publish periodically updated information as potential sources.
In choosing whether a source qualifies for inclusion in its aggregation services, Â鶹´«Ã½ does apply rigorous editorial standards.
However, Â鶹´«Ã½ avoids distinguishing unnecessarily between:
- authors or publishers who call themselves news organisations and those who do not;
- authors or publishers with explicit or hidden biases;
- authors or publishers that profess political motivations and those that profess to be objective, independent or unbiased;
- articles reviewed by editors or those published without review;
- factual, speculative, educational, opinion or entertainment pieces, or press releases.
(Â鶹´«Ã½ does however aim to identify those sources which publish press releases, weblogs, or those which require registration or subscription.)
Â鶹´«Ã½ currently reviews sources for suitability for inclusion on our website as a consequence of:
- a request by a paying customer;
- a request by a website user;
- a need, that we determine our website users or paying customers have;
- a request by a publisher;
- a request by a member of the company.
(However, we don't usually record the reason a site was added unless it was specifically asked for by a client.)
Â鶹´«Ã½ reserves the right to decline to add a source at its sole discretion, and Â鶹´«Ã½ reserves the right to change this Open Content Policy at any time without notice.
