Editorial standards for watchers.LIVE
Editorial standards · 5 November 2026
These standards govern watchers.LIVE. They sit under the broader Watchers editorial policy on watchers.news.
Accuracy and sourcing
Claims about magnitudes, alert levels, flux values, and locations must trace to authoritative public products (USGS, NOAA SWPC, volcano observatories, and peer agencies). When sources disagree, we say so and prefer the agency of record for that hazard type.
Proportionality
We do not escalate language beyond what the data and official products support. Headline tone stays factual. We do not invent casualties, damage, or forecasts.
Corrections
If we get a fact wrong, we correct it promptly and note the change when material. Email contact@watchers.live with the URL and the correction.
Independence from advertising
Ad partners do not choose which hazards we cover or how we frame them. Thresholds are editorial.

Thresholds protect proportionality: they keep the rapid desk from treating every minor fluctuation as breaking news, and they keep advertising incentives out of hazard framing. Readers who want depth after an alert should follow links to watchers.news when available.
