Editorial Standards & Copyright

Our mission and independence

We aim to provide fair, accurate and useful news for English and Arabic-speaking readers. We keep our editorial decisions independent of advertisers and partners.

How we source news

Alongside our own reporting, we aggregate and summarise news from reputable public sources. Where an item comes from another outlet, we credit the source and link to the original article so you can read it in full.

Translation and AI assistance

To serve both English and Arabic readers, some content is translated and some summaries are generated with AI tools. Automated translation can introduce errors or nuance loss; for anything important, please refer to the original-language source.

Copyright and trademarks

Original content created by Pacific East News is © Pacific East News. Third-party articles, images, video, audio and live streams remain the property of their respective owners. Broadcaster and station names and logos (for example TV and radio channels) are trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify those services.

We rely on links to originals and short summaries rather than republishing full third-party articles.

Corrections

We correct significant errors promptly. If you spot a mistake, let us know and we will review it.

If you are a rights holder and believe content on our site infringes your copyright, please contact us through our Contact Us page with the details (the material, its location on our site, proof of ownership and your contact information). We will review and, where appropriate, remove it quickly.
