Editorial Standards

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Athens Times aims to publish useful, accurate, and clearly presented English-language news coverage.

Accuracy and verification

We seek to preserve the meaning of the underlying facts, use specific headlines, and avoid presenting speculation as established fact. Time-sensitive stories may be updated as reliable new information becomes available.

Automation and translation

Automated tools may assist with translation, summarization, formatting, categorization, and publication. These tools do not change our responsibility to correct material errors. Readers can report a concern through our contact page.

Headlines and context

Headlines should reflect the substance of the article. We aim to identify allegations, estimates, and developing information as such and to include enough context for readers to understand the report.

Opinion, conflicts, and commercial influence

Opinion should be distinguishable from news reporting. Advertising relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions. Sponsored or paid material, if published, should be clearly labelled.

Corrections

Material factual errors should be corrected promptly and transparently. Our process is described in the Corrections Policy.
