Editorial Policy
This page describes how Grobuzz actually works: how we choose what to cover, how articles are researched and edited, how we date things, and what happens when we get something wrong. We publish it because readers — and search engines — deserve to know how the sausage is made.
How we choose topics
We start from real questions people search for. If a question is being asked thousands of times and the existing answers are padded, evasive or wrong, it is a candidate. We do not chase trending nonsense keywords, and we do not publish pages designed to rank for terms that mean nothing.
How articles are researched
Our sourcing rules, in order of preference:
- Primary sources first — court records for legal stories, official announcements, regulatory filings, the subject's own published statements.
- Named, checkable secondary sources — established news organisations and specialist publications, linked where useful so you can check our reasoning.
- Clearly labelled uncertainty — where something is an estimate (a net worth) or a rumour (a relationship), we say so in the text rather than presenting it as fact. If an article cannot separate fact from speculation, it does not run.
We never fabricate quotes, statistics or events. We do not present a question in a headline that the article does not answer.
How articles are written and reviewed
We use modern writing tools, including AI assistance, in drafting and editing — and a human editor reviews every page before and after publication. Responsibility for what is published sits with the Grobuzz editorial team — contactable directly at [email protected] — not with the tools. Every article shows the byline it was published under, and the publisher remains responsible for everything that appears on the site.
The 2026 relaunch, honestly
In August 2026 the site was rebuilt from scratch. We audited every page on the old site and removed the large majority — including thin pages, outdated pages and paid placements that did not meet the standards above. Every article that remains was re-edited, retitled for clarity, and is being progressively re-reviewed. Pages we removed outright now return a not-found page — deliberately. Pages that survived under a new address redirect to it. We would rather publish 150 pages we stand behind than 1,500 we cannot; the archive lists every one of them.
Dates
Every article shows its original publication date and, where it has changed meaningfully since, an updated date. We do not fake freshness: an "updated" date changes only when the substance of the article changes, not to game search rankings.
Corrections
When we get a fact wrong, we correct the article promptly. For significant errors — anything that changes the meaning of the piece — we add a note to the article recording what was corrected. To report an error: email [email protected] with "Correction" in the subject and a link to the article. Corrections are acknowledged within 2 working days.
If we write about you
People we cover have a right of reply. If you are the subject of an article and believe something is inaccurate, unfair or seriously out of date, contact us; we will review it against this policy, correct what is wrong, and where appropriate update the piece to reflect your response. We do not delete accurate reporting on request, but we listen.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made by the editorial side, full stop. The site currently carries no advertising or sponsorship. If commercial content ever appears, it will be clearly labelled, it will have no influence over editorial coverage, and no advertiser will see, approve or veto an article before publication. We do not sell links. We do not accept payment for coverage — positive, negative or removal.
What this site is not
Grobuzz is not a breaking-news operation and does not pretend to be one. We are slower and smaller than a newsroom, and we cover fewer things. The trade is depth on the questions we do take on — and the standards on this page applied to every one of them.
