SiliconStories is committed to producing accurate, trustworthy, and useful technology content. This Editorial Policy outlines how we create, review, and publish content on siliconstories.net. Our goal is to meet the highest standards of journalism and to build E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) as defined by Google's Search Quality Guidelines.
1. Our Editorial Mission
SiliconStories covers artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, startups, and practical technology guides for a global audience. We aim to make complex technology topics accessible, actionable, and accurate — without sensationalism or clickbait. Our readers are our priority, not advertisers or sponsors.
2. Who Writes Our Content
Our editorial team includes five specialist writers:
- Priya Nair — Senior Tech Journalist, 8+ years covering AI and emerging technologies
- Marcus Webb — Cybersecurity Correspondent, consultant to Fortune 500 companies
- Aisha Patel — Startups & Innovation Editor, MBA from IIM Bangalore
- Jordan Lee — How-To & Tutorials Lead, specialist in making tech accessible to everyday users
- Ravi Menon — Technology Analyst, former software engineer tracking enterprise tech trends
Some articles on SiliconStories are produced with the assistance of AI writing tools to increase publishing efficiency. All AI-assisted articles are reviewed, edited, and verified by our editorial team before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content without human review.
3. Our Content Standards
- Accuracy: All factual claims are verified against credible sources before publication. We cite reputable sources including official company announcements, peer-reviewed research, government publications, and established tech news outlets.
- Clarity: We write in plain English, avoiding unnecessary jargon. Technical terms are explained where they first appear.
- Fairness: We present multiple perspectives on contested topics. We do not allow personal bias, advertiser relationships, or commercial interests to influence our editorial conclusions.
- Transparency: We clearly disclose affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and AI assistance where applicable.
- Timeliness: We review and update older articles when information becomes outdated. Updated articles will show a revised "Last updated" date.
4. Fact-Checking Process
Our fact-checking process includes:
- Verifying statistics and data against primary sources (official reports, research papers, company filings)
- Cross-referencing claims with at least two independent sources where possible
- Reviewing technical how-to guides for accuracy before publication
- Flagging and correcting errors reported by readers within 48 hours
5. Affiliate & Commercial Relationships
SiliconStories participates in affiliate marketing programs. When we include affiliate links in articles, we clearly disclose this at the top of the article with a visible disclosure notice. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial recommendations — we only recommend products and services we believe provide genuine value to our readers.
We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, guaranteed positive reviews, or undisclosed sponsored content. Any sponsored or branded content will be clearly labeled as such.
6. Corrections Policy
We take factual accuracy seriously. If you identify an error in our content, please email us at hello@siliconstories.net with the subject line "Correction Request." We will review your submission and, if a correction is warranted, update the article and note the correction at the bottom of the piece.
7. Commenting & Community Standards
SiliconStories does not currently operate a public comments section. Reader feedback can be sent directly to hello@siliconstories.net.
8. External Links Policy
We link to external sources to provide attribution and additional context. External links do not constitute an endorsement of the linked website or its content. We use rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links for security. Affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored" in accordance with Google's guidelines.
