This policy sets the editorial standard for Everything Xiaomi under Yorker Media. Our aim is to make published information clear, useful and accountable to readers.
Sources and context
Factual reporting should distinguish confirmed information from a rumour, estimate, opinion or promotional claim. Official documentation and original announcements are preferred for product facts; independent reporting can provide additional context. Where a claim depends on a particular region, software version or date, that context matters.
Reviews, comparisons and specifications
Hands-on testing should be identified as such and describe the relevant experience or method. A researched overview, manufacturer specification or comparison is not automatically a hands-on review. We should not claim to have used a product when we have not. Recommendations should explain their intended use and material limitations.
Dates and updates
Original publication dates and author credits are preserved in the archive. A new design or a change of publisher does not make an old article newly researched. We may update an article as information changes; older prices, offers and instructions must be understood in their original context.
Corrections
Send a specific correction with the article URL and supporting evidence to [email protected]. We assess the source, context and significance of the issue. Material factual corrections should be made clearly; routine spelling or formatting repairs may be made without a separate notice.
Commercial relationships
Advertising and affiliate income may support the publication. Paid placements and supplied materials should not be presented as independent testing. A company cannot purchase a fabricated test result. See our commercial disclosure.
Tools and editorial responsibility
Research, editing and production may use software or AI assistance. Tools are not evidence: claims still need checking, sources should not be invented, and generated text must not be presented as a contributor’s first-hand experience. Responsibility for the published material stays with the publication.
Archive and reader contributions
Historical articles retain their bylines and context. Comments reflect their authors’ views and may be moderated for spam, abuse, irrelevant promotion or exposure of private information. Contact us when an archived item needs a factual review.
