Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2025

Leo News LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates leonews.ai, an AI-powered news platform that delivers diverse perspectives on current events. This Editorial Policy outlines our commitment to journalistic integrity, transparency, and responsible use of artificial intelligence in news delivery.

1. Our Mission

Leo News aims to provide readers with comprehensive, multi-perspective coverage of news and current events. We leverage artificial intelligence to help readers understand different viewpoints and form their own informed opinions. Our mission is to foster critical thinking and informed civic engagement through technology-enhanced journalism.

2. AI-Enhanced Journalism

Leo News uses artificial intelligence to analyze, synthesize, and present news from multiple perspectives. Our approach is transparent about the role of AI:

• AI transparency: All content is clearly labeled as AI-generated or AI-assisted. We use large language models from reputable providers to process and present information.
• Human oversight: While AI powers our analysis, our systems are designed, monitored, and continuously improved by human editors and engineers.
• Source attribution: We cite original news sources and credit journalists and publications whose reporting informs our summaries and analysis.
• Limitations: We acknowledge that AI systems have limitations, including potential biases, hallucinations, and errors. We work continuously to minimize these issues.

Disclaimer: AI-generated content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as factually verified reporting. While we strive for accuracy, Leo News LLC makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of AI-generated material. Users rely on such content at their own discretion.

Disclaimer: Leo News is an independent, technology-driven news platform. We are not a traditional newsroom, and our team members are not licensed or credentialed journalists. We use artificial intelligence and publicly available reporting to summarize, analyze, and present information. While we strive for accuracy and fairness, our content should not be considered professional journalism or original investigative reporting.

3. Editorial Standards

Accuracy

We strive for accuracy in all our content. Our AI systems are trained to:

• Verify information against multiple credible sources
• Present facts separately from analysis and opinion
• Flag uncertain or disputed information
• Update content when new information becomes available
• Content generated by our AI systems is based on publicly available information and does not represent personal opinions or verified claims by Leo News LLC or its staff. We do not intend to make factual assertions about individuals or entities unless explicitly stated as such.

Fairness and Balance

Leo News presents multiple perspectives on complex issues. We aim to:

• Represent diverse viewpoints fairly and accurately
• Avoid false equivalency between evidence-based reporting and misinformation
• Provide context for controversial or sensitive topics
• Acknowledge the complexity of issues without oversimplification

Independence

Our editorial decisions are independent and not influenced by:

• Political parties or advocacy groups
• Corporate interests or advertisers
• Individual donors or financial backers

We maintain editorial independence while clearly disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.

4. News Sources

Our AI-powered platform aggregates news from a variety of sources across the internet. Sources commonly referenced include:

• Major national and international news outlets
• News wire services (AP, Reuters, etc.)
• Specialized trade and industry publications
• Government and academic sources for policy and research

We regularly review the sources our platform references to monitor quality and credibility. While we aim to prioritize established news organizations, we cannot guarantee the quality of every source that may be referenced. We encourage users to critically evaluate information and to report concerns about source quality or content accuracy to leo@leonews.ai.

5. Corrections and User Feedback

Our platform generates new content regularly based on current news coverage. Each piece of content reflects the information available at the time of generation:

• Content freshness: We generate new analyses and summaries regularly.
• User feedback: We encourage readers to report potential errors, concerns, or source quality issues by contacting us at leo@leonews.ai. While we cannot guarantee corrections to past content, feedback helps us improve our systems and processes.
• System improvements: We use feedback to refine our AI models, prompts, and quality control measures for future content generation.

6. User-Generated Content

User interactions (comments, questions, feedback) may appear on our platform. We:

• Moderate content to prevent harassment, hate speech, and spam
• Do not edit user content except to remove prohibited material
• Reserve the right to remove content that violates our terms of service
• Are not responsible for the accuracy of user-generated content

7. Copyright and Attribution

We respect intellectual property rights:

• We strive to link to and cite original sources for news stories. If you notice missing attributions, please report them to help us improve our systems.
• We believe our AI-generated summaries and analyses qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law because they are transformative, limited in scope, and provide commentary or analysis. However, if any copyright holder believes their rights have been infringed, they may contact us at leo@leonews.ai for prompt review under our DMCA process.
• We respond promptly to legitimate copyright concerns and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Leo News LLC retains all rights, title, and interest in the selection, arrangement, formatting, and presentation of content on this Site. While individual AI-generated text or summaries may not be eligible for copyright protection under U.S. law, the compilation as a whole — including the structure, design, and editorial framing — constitutes a protected work owned by Leo News LLC.

To the extent permitted by law, Leo News LLC asserts rights over all proprietary methods, prompts, datasets, and editorial processes used in generating, organizing, and presenting content on leonews.ai.

8. Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our AI systems and editorial processes:

• We regularly audit our AI models for bias and accuracy
• We incorporate user feedback into our improvements
