Editorial policy

Northern Connection aims to make clear, considered explanations of the connections between northern places. We distinguish established information from interpretation, avoid presenting a single local example as a universal rule, and welcome readers who point out something we have missed.

Accuracy and context

We check names, dates, definitions and other factual details against suitable material before publication. We take care to explain where a claim applies and avoid making a connection sound more direct or complete than the available account supports. Readers should not treat an article as a substitute for checking current local conditions or official information where those matter.

Independence and partners

Editorial decisions are made separately from partnership arrangements. Paid or otherwise supported material is identified clearly as partner content, and partner placements are labelled so readers can distinguish them from editorial coverage. A partnership does not guarantee favourable editorial treatment.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error, unclear wording or missing context, use the Contact page and describe the article and the point at issue. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers where appropriate.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. Where an illustration is AI-generated, we label it accordingly and do not present it as documentary evidence or a photograph of a real event.
