We are committed to delivering high-quality journalism that informs, engages, and reflects the interests of our community. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and standards that guide our content creation, publication, and overall editorial process.
1. Accuracy and Fairness
We strive to ensure that all information published on Oklahoma Live News is accurate, factual, and fair. Our editorial team diligently fact-checks stories before publication and corrects any errors promptly. We present news in a balanced manner, representing multiple perspectives when covering complex issues.

Mistakes can occur, and when they do, we are committed to transparency. If an error is identified in our published content, we will promptly correct it and, when necessary, update the article with a clarification or correction note.

4. Source Integrity
We rely on credible sources and verify information from multiple channels to ensure the reliability of our news stories. Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when vital to the public interest, with efforts made to confirm their credibility.
5. Opinion vs. News
We clearly distinguish between news reporting and opinion pieces. Opinion articles are labeled as such and reflect the views of the authors, not necessarily those of Oklahoma Live News.
