This page documents how Creative AI News reports, sources, fact-checks, uses AI tools, and corrects mistakes. It is the public commitment we make to readers, sources, and the companies we cover.
Editorial independence
Creative AI News is independently owned and operated by Vannarot Roeung. There are no investors, no parent company, and no shareholders directing coverage. Sponsorships are accepted but clearly disclosed and do not influence editorial decisions. We have no commercial agreements with any company we cover.
Sourcing policy
Every claim in a Creative AI News article must be supported by at least one of:
- An official primary source: company blog, press release, GitHub release notes, arXiv paper, official documentation
- A reputable secondary source attributed inline
- A demonstrable test conducted by the editor (with screenshots or output samples where applicable)
We do not republish quotes from anonymous sources. We do not summarize tweets without linking the original tweet. We do not aggregate other publications without adding original analysis or an independent test.
News event freshness
We only cover news events less than 2 days old. RSS dates and aggregator dates are not trusted; we verify the actual event date against the primary source. This rule was tightened from 3 days to 2 days on 2026-05-04 to keep coverage genuinely current.
AI use disclosure
Creative AI News uses AI tools as research and drafting assistants, in the same way a reporter uses a search engine, a transcription tool, or a word processor's spell-check. The role AI plays in our process:
- Research: AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity) help summarize source documents and identify follow-up questions. The editor verifies every fact against the primary source before publication.
- Drafting: First drafts are sometimes written with AI assistance. Every draft is then edited by the editor for accuracy, tone, and publication standards before going live.
- Images: Article thumbnails are generated using image generation models (Gemini Nano Banana Pro). Sub-images inside deep dives are also AI-generated. Real photographs are not used.
- Editorial judgment: Topic selection, framing, analysis, conclusions, and corrections are made by the human editor. AI tools do not make editorial decisions.
If a specific article relies more heavily on AI tooling than this default (for example, an article testing a new AI-writing tool by using it to write part of the article), this is disclosed in the article itself.
Fact-checking
Before publication, every article passes a verification pass:
- Every external link is checked for HTTP 200 and content match
- Every product name, version number, pricing claim, and benchmark figure is confirmed against the primary source
- Every quoted statement is verified against the original speaker or document
If a fact cannot be verified, it is removed or rewritten with explicit hedging ("according to [source]") rather than presented as established truth.
Corrections policy
If we publish an error, we correct it as soon as we are aware. The correction is appended to the article with a dated note explaining what changed and why. Significant corrections (factual errors, misattribution, retracted claims) are also disclosed in the next edition of the newsletter.
To report an error, email contact@creativeainews.com with the article URL and the specific claim. We aim to correct verified errors within 24 hours of receipt.
Conflicts of interest
The editor (Vannarot Roeung) does not hold equity in any AI company, does not accept paid trips or gifts from companies we cover, and does not advise companies whose products we review. If a conflict ever arises, it will be disclosed in the article.
Reader feedback
Reader feedback shapes our coverage. Email contact@creativeainews.com with topic suggestions, errors, disagreements, or follow-up questions. We respond to most reader emails within 48 hours.
