Editorial policy

The gazette’s standards

Visegrád Post reports on contested political ground, and this policy sets out how the publication handles disagreement without abandoning verifiable facts.

Reporting, argument and opinion

A news report, a commissioned analysis and a signed column are presented as three different things, never blended into one voice.

A strongly argued position remains an argument, and the publication does not let it borrow the authority of a factual account.

Sources across borders

Statements by governments, parties and institutions are attributed by name, and translated material names the original language and outlet.

Where a claim circulates without a traceable origin, the article says so instead of repeating it as established.

Corrections and later readings

Political events are often understood differently once documents appear, and articles are updated when that happens.

A factual error can be reported through the contact form, and a substantial correction is shown in the article and in its update date.

Bylines and their limits

Author pages state which countries and subjects a contributor follows, without claiming diplomatic access or academic titles.

Commercial material and politics

Sponsored material is labelled and never presented as the publication’s own reading of a political situation.

No advertiser obtains a favourable framing of a government, a party or an institution.

What the publication does not claim

Visegrád Post speaks for its own editorial line and represents no state, party, church or foundation.
