    Editorial Standards

    Editorial Standards

    Effective Date: 12/17/2025

    The Token Journal is committed to producing accurate, fair, and independent journalism. These Editorial Standards outline how we create, review, publish, and distinguish our content to maintain trust with readers, sources, and partners.

    1. Editorial Independence

    The Token Journal operates with full editorial independence.

    • Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, partners, or third parties.
    • Financial relationships do not affect story selection, framing, or conclusions.
    • Sponsored content is never presented as editorial content.

    2. Accuracy & Fact-Checking

    We strive for accuracy in all published content.

    • All factual claims must be supported by credible sources.
    • Sources may include public records, official statements, direct interviews, and reputable third-party publications.
    • Information is verified prior to publication whenever possible.
    • If an error is identified, it will be corrected promptly and transparently.

    3. Corrections Policy

    When errors occur:

    • Corrections will be made as soon as reasonably possible.
    • Significant corrections will be noted within the article.
    • Minor edits (grammar, clarity) may be made without notice.

    Readers may report errors by contacting us at: [editorial@thetokenjournal.com]

    4. Original Content & Attribution

    • The Token Journal publishes original reporting, analysis, and commentary.
    • We do not publish plagiarized, scraped, or mass-duplicated content.
    • When referencing external reporting, we provide clear attribution and links to original sources.
    • AI-assisted tools may be used for research or drafting support, but all content is reviewed and edited by a human prior to publication.

    5. Authorship & Transparency

    Every editorial article includes:

    • Author name
    • Publication date
    • Author bio

    Authors are responsible for the integrity of their work. Anonymous or pseudonymous editorial content is not published.

    6. Sponsored Content & Paid Submissions

    The Token Journal may publish paid content under strict guidelines.

    • Sponsored Press Releases and paid submissions are clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Content.”
    • Sponsored content is segregated from editorial news sections.
    • Sponsored content does not appear in Google News feeds or editorial distributions.
    • Publication of sponsored content does not imply endorsement by The Token Journal.

    We reserve the right to reject sponsored submissions that are misleading, deceptive, unlawful, or inconsistent with our standards.

    7. Conflicts of Interest

    • Authors must disclose any financial, professional, or personal relationships that could present a conflict of interest.
    • Content with unresolved conflicts may be reassigned or declined.

    8. Prohibited Content

    The Token Journal does not publish:

    • False or misleading claims
    • Unverified financial guarantees or investment promises
    • Scam-related or fraudulent material
    • Hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory content
    • Illegal activities or instructions

    9. Editorial Review Process

    • All editorial content is reviewed prior to publication.
    • Articles may be edited for clarity, accuracy, structure, and compliance with standards.
    • Final publication decisions rest with The Token Journal editorial team.

    10. Updates to These Standards

    These Editorial Standards may be updated periodically. The most current version will always be published on this page.
