Editorial policy

Our perspective

Colorado Daily Review covers Colorado politics and policy from a conservative standpoint. We believe in limited government, free markets, individual liberty, and the rule of law. We do not claim to be ideologically neutral — we are transparent about our perspective and apply it consistently.

Sourcing

Every story aggregates at least two independent reporting sources. We prefer original reporting — wire services, primary documents, on-the-record statements, official filings — over re-reporting. We monitor both conservative and mainstream outlets to ensure we're covering the full story, even when we disagree with how others frame it.

AI use

Most articles are drafted by an AI system using public sources. The AI is instructed to summarize what reporting establishes, apply a conservative Colorado lens, and label perspectives clearly. Drafts are reviewed for accuracy before publication.

What we won't do

• Fabricate quotes or attribute statements that weren't made.
• Invent statistics or numbers — every figure traces to a cited source.
• Bury corrections. Material errors are corrected with a dated, in-line note.
• Use liberal-media euphemisms that obscure the truth (e.g., "revenue measures" for tax hikes).
• Publish takedown-on-demand pieces or quietly delete published work to settle complaints.

Principles

1. Colorado first — every story is filtered through its impact on Coloradans.
2. Conservative perspective: we cover the news with a free-market, limited-government, individual-liberty lens.
3. Brevity over bloat — every story in under 200 words.
4. Attribute clearly: label what is news, what is analysis, and what is opinion.
5. Cite sources; link the originals. No fabricated quotes or invented statistics.
6. Disclose when an article is AI-drafted.
7. Corrections are appended in-line with date stamps, never silently edited away.
