EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Last updated: June 2026

The Wang Report is an independent news and analysis publication based in Hong Kong. This page sets out how the publication is produced, sourced, and corrected. It is the reference the editors hold each filing against, and the standard readers can hold us to.

Who produces the work

The Wang Report is published by The Wang Report, an independent Hong Kong publishing organisation. Editorial direction, sourcing standards, and final review are human responsibilities. Drafting, ranking, and layout are AI-assisted under that direction. We do not present the publication as the unaided work of a human newsroom, and we do not present it as unsupervised machine output. It is edited.

The masthead carries named correspondents across the desks. These correspondents are authored editorial personas. The analysis filed under their bylines is produced by AI under human editorial direction, and their biographical details are illustrative rather than literal. This is disclosed on every profile page, in the structured data on every article, and on the Masthead. The personas are a consistent editorial voice, not a claim about real individuals.

How we source

News context is drawn from public reporting by major wire services and regional outlets, including Reuters, Bloomberg, the South China Morning Post, RTHK, the Financial Times, and specialist feeds on each desk's beat. Where a story summarises or links to another outlet's reporting, that outlet is named as the source and the original is linked. We curate and analyse public-source news; we do not claim original reporting we did not do.

Original analysis

The daily briefings, weekly columns, editor's notes, and editions are original analysis written for The Wang Report. They are pegged to the day's public news but the framing, judgement, and argument are the publication's own. Aggregated headlines are clearly presented as links to their source outlets and are kept distinct from our own analysis.

Accuracy and framing

Corrections

We correct errors of fact promptly and without ceremony. We do not silently overwrite. When a published piece is found to contain a material factual error, the correction is made and noted.

To request a correction, email editor@wangreport.com with the URL of the piece and the specific factual issue. We aim to acknowledge correction requests within a few business days. Source-attribution and takedown requests are handled at the same address; please cite the URL and the issue.

Independence and funding

The Wang Report is independent and ad-supported. Advertising is served programmatically and is kept visually and editorially separate from our coverage. Advertisers have no influence over editorial selection, ranking, or framing. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial.

Use of AI

The Wang Report uses AI tools, including Claude by Anthropic, within its editorial production process to assist with research, drafting, ranking, and layout. AI assistance does not remove editorial responsibility: a human sets the standard each filing is held to. Our use of AI is disclosed here, on the About page, in the colophon, and in the structured data attached to our articles.
