Editorial Policy

Ride Network publishes motoring and mobility journalism for readers in the Philippines. This policy explains how we select, verify and present our work.

Accuracy and sourcing

We use primary sources whenever practical. These may include interviews, official documents, manufacturer specifications, event material, public records and statements from responsible organizations.

Names, dates, prices, model variants and key specifications are checked before publication. When facts are disputed or still developing, the story should make that uncertainty clear and attribute significant claims to their source.

Press releases and supplied material

Press releases provide information but are not treated as finished editorial copy. Material supplied by a company, agency or organization is checked, rewritten and placed in context before it is published as news.

Photographs supplied by a source should accurately represent the vehicle, event, person or location discussed. Illustrative or generated images should not be presented as documentary photographs of real current events or products.

Reviews, analysis and opinion

Reviews and commentary may include the writer’s judgment. Relevant relationships, event access or vehicle loans should be disclosed when they could affect how readers assess the work.

News reports should distinguish verified facts from forecasts, marketing claims and opinion.

Advertising and sponsored material

Commercial support does not give an advertiser authority to approve independent editorial conclusions. Paid, sponsored or partner material should be clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from regular editorial work.

Use of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence tools may assist with transcription, research organization, headline development or language editing. They do not replace editorial responsibility. A human editor reviews the finished work for accuracy, context and publication.

Updates and corrections

Material errors are corrected as soon as reasonably possible after verification. Significant corrections should be explained on the affected page. Minor spelling, grammar or formatting fixes may be made without a separate note when they do not change the meaning.

Readers may report a possible error through the Contact Us page. Additional details appear in our Corrections Policy.
