⭐ EDITORIAL STANDARDS — FELONOTUS

Last updated: 05 December, 2025

Felonotus is committed to providing responsible, factual, and non-graphic reporting on allegations, misconduct, and public-interest cases involving notable individuals and organisations. Our goal is to offer clear, well-sourced information for readers, researchers, journalists, and members of the public seeking an accurate overview of matters already reported in reputable media.

We do not publish rumours, speculation, gossip, or material intended to sensationalise. All content on this site is written with care, neutrality, and respect for the seriousness of the subjects involved.

1. Purpose of Felonotus

Felonotus documents allegations, lawsuits, financial misconduct, fraud cases, and other matters of public record. We summarise information already reported by credible news outlets, court filings, academic publications, and official statements.

Our aim is to:

  • Provide clear, accessible summaries of complex cases
  • Present information in a neutral and educational format
  • Help readers understand reported facts without unnecessary detail
  • Encourage public accountability and transparency

2. Sourcing and Verification

All information published on Felonotus is derived from publicly available, reputable sources.

These may include:

  • Court records and legal documents
  • Mainstream news outlets
  • Government reports
  • Verified public statements
  • Academic research

We do not rely on anonymous claims, unverified social media posts, or clickbait sources.

Whenever possible, sources are listed at the bottom of each article so readers can check the original material themselves.

3. Non-Graphic and Respectful Reporting

Due to the sensitive nature of many topics covered, Felonotus adheres to strict guidelines:

  • No graphic descriptions of violence, sexual activity, or abuse
  • No explicit language unless it appears in official documents
  • No sensationalism or exaggerated storytelling
  • No details that unnecessarily identify or exploit alleged victims

Our reporting prioritises public interest, not entertainment or shock value.

4. Neutrality and Presumption of Innocence

All profiles and articles follow a neutral tone.

  • Allegations are described as allegations
  • Individuals are not portrayed as guilty unless convicted
  • We avoid speculative language such as “likely,” “probably,” or “appears to”
  • We do not take positions on the outcome of any case

Where charges are dropped, cases are unproven, or legal outcomes are incomplete, this is clearly indicated.

5. Updating and Corrections

Felonotus is committed to accuracy.

If new information emerges or an article requires correction, updates will be made promptly.
Readers may contact us to request corrections or clarifications via the Contact page.

Corrections are:

  • Documented
  • Transparent
  • Incorporated directly into the article text with updated sourcing

6. Privacy and Ethical Standards

We follow ethical practices when covering sensitive matters:

  • We avoid identifying alleged victims unless publicly named by major news outlets
  • We do not publish personal data such as home addresses, contact information, or family details
  • We avoid referencing minors except when essential and already widely reported
  • We reject content that could be harmful, exploitative, or intrusive

7. AI and Automated Tools

No article on Felonotus is published without human oversight.

Where research tools, data software, or AI-assisted drafting is used, a human editor:

  • Verifies facts
  • Ensures neutrality
  • Confirms adherence to editorial standards

All final content is reviewed before publication.

8. Advertising and Monetisation

Advertising never influences editorial decisions.

  • We do not accept paid placement
  • We do not alter content to satisfy advertisers
  • We comply with Google AdSense policies for sensitive content
  • Editorial integrity is independent of monetisation

  • Public understanding
  • Transparency
  • Accountability
  • Evidence-based reporting

We encourage informed discussion and believe that accessible, factual information is essential to public awareness.
