Editorial Policy

How we source a story

Every news article on The Financial Buddy is checked against multiple independent, credible sources before it's written. We look for a clear publish or update timestamp on each source rather than relying on how current a headline sounds, and we require the underlying facts to be corroborated by more than one outlet — a single, uncorroborated report isn't enough for us to publish on its own.

How we write it

Once a story clears that bar, our writers summarize and synthesize the facts in their own words. We don't copy sentences or passages from source material, and we don't republish scraped or lightly-reworded content from other outlets. Every article on this site is an original write-up of publicly reported facts, not a reproduction of any single source's reporting.

Review before publishing

Every article is reviewed by a person before it goes live — nothing is published automatically without a human checking it first. We care more about getting the facts right than being first to publish.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct it as soon as we know. If you spot an error, please email us at info@thefinancialbuddy.com with a link to the article and a description of the issue, and we'll look into it promptly.

What this site is not

The Financial Buddy is an independent news and information site, not a bank, brokerage, or investment advisor. Nothing published here is personalized financial advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or invest in anything — see our About page for more on who we are.
