Editorial policy

Southern Story House aims to make careful, readable accounts of place and memory. We distinguish what a piece describes from what it interprets, and make corrections when an error is brought to our attention.

Accuracy and context

We check names, dates and factual statements against suitable material before publication, and avoid presenting an interpretation as settled fact. Where accounts differ or context is limited, we say so plainly. Readers can use the Contact page to point out an error or supply relevant context.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any paid, sponsored or partner material is identified clearly where it appears; a partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage or editorial approval.

Corrections

When a correction is warranted, we amend the relevant passage and add a clear correction note when the change affects a reader's understanding. We do not silently preserve a known factual error.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. When an illustration is AI-generated, it is labelled as such; it is not offered as documentary evidence of a real place or event.
