Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 2025

Our Mission

Stroubly exists to serve the residents of Buffalo, NY and Western New York with accurate, timely, and relevant local news and community information. We are committed to the principles of fairness, accuracy, transparency, and accountability in everything we publish.

Sourcing Standards

Stroubly aggregates and summarizes local news from trusted regional sources including local television stations, established newspapers, government press releases, and community organizations. Every article links to its original source.

  • We only cite sources we can independently verify as credible.
  • All aggregated content is clearly attributed with a link to the original report.
  • Original reporting is labeled and separated from aggregated content.
  • We do not publish unverified rumors or anonymous tips without corroboration.

Independence

Stroubly's editorial decisions are made independently of our advertising and commercial partnerships. Advertisers have no influence over our news coverage. Sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and is distinct from editorial content.

Corrections Policy

We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. If you believe we have published inaccurate information, please contact us at info.stroubly@gmail.com. Corrections are noted within the article with a correction notice including the date of the fix.

Community Content

Community submissions, event listings, and business listings are reviewed by our team before publication. We reserve the right to edit or reject submissions that do not meet our standards for accuracy, relevance, or community appropriateness.

AI-Assisted Content

Stroubly may use AI tools to assist in summarizing, organizing, or drafting content. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by a human editor before publication and must meet the same accuracy and sourcing standards as all other content.
