Editorial standards

CoverWire is an insurance news publication created using AI. These are the standards it works to. How CoverWire works explains the process.

Independence

CoverWire decides what to cover. It does not publish paid-for content, sponsored stories or advertorials, and no company can pay to appear in or change a story.

Sourcing

Stories are based on documents, official statements and published reporting, which is credited. Sources are linked so readers can check them. A claim is reported as a claim, attributed to whoever made it, not as an established fact. CoverWire does not interview people.

Serious allegations

Stories that make negative claims about a named person are not published automatically; they are held back for further checks.

Stories and briefs

CoverWire covers insurance news that matters to UK readers, including news from other markets. Shorter briefs are held to the same standards as full stories.

Use of AI

Articles are created using AI and labelled as such. Images are credited photographs; CoverWire does not use AI-generated images. CoverWire says an article has had human review only when it has.

Conflicts of interest

CoverWire declares any interest that could reasonably be seen to affect a story. It does not accept gifts or payment in return for coverage.

Mistakes

When CoverWire gets something wrong, it fixes it and says so. See the corrections policy.
