Standards / SN-ED-01
Editorial standards
SquawkNews is an independent financial newsroom with proprietary AI. These standards guide our market coverage, editorial decisions and corrections.
Mission and scope
SquawkNews is a live financial news service. We cover catalysts that can reprice markets: central bank decisions, economic data, earnings, regulatory filings, sanctions, elections and geopolitics.
We publish facts, not opinions. Headlines describe what happened, who said it and when. We do not publish commentary disguised as news, and we do not editorialize inside the wire.
Sourcing and verification
We assess information for relevance, clarity and reliability before publication. Confidential source relationships are not disclosed in our public newsroom descriptions.
Internal tracing supports quality checks, duplicate detection and investigation of disputed reports. Developing information may be updated or corrected as the story changes.
- Distinguish confirmed facts from developing reports.
- Retain material context and avoid unsupported conclusions.
- Investigate reported factual errors under our corrections policy.
Priority grading
Each headline is scored by expected market impact before it reaches the wire. The score can affect visual priority, audio squawk eligibility and alerting.
| Type | Policy |
|---|---|
| Breaking | Immediate cross-asset or single-name market risk. |
| High | Likely to move major indices, FX, rates, commodities or a liquid stock. |
| Medium | Useful catalyst or developing context for active traders. |
| Low | Background or low-liquidity information that still belongs in the searchable archive. |
Our editorial team and proprietary AI
Our editorial team and proprietary AI produce clear, timely market headlines, briefs and recaps. AI supports concise writing, priority grading, ticker context, duplicate detection and LiveCast audio preparation.
Publication rules, quality control and corrections remain editorial responsibilities. AI output must stay grounded in available information, not invent facts or turn news into trading advice.
Independence
- No one can pay to place, promote, suppress or reword a headline on the wire.
- Advertising and subscription revenue do not control editorial treatment.
- Corrections are made on factual grounds, not on commercial pressure.
Not investment advice
SquawkNews publishes market information and context. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, instrument or digital asset. Trading involves risk. Readers are responsible for their own decisions.
