Editorial policy

How Gibraltar Watch selects, interprets, corrects and presents information.

Sources

We prioritise official bodies, public data, technical documentation and scientific papers. News is used to locate facts, not as an automatic substitute for primary sources.

Fact, inference and scenario

They are presented separately. Inferences are identified and scenarios are not published as forecasts.

Seismicity

We do not predict earthquakes. Catalogues may be revised and completeness depends on network, magnitude and region. One event does not demonstrate tectonic closure.

AIS traffic

A missing point does not prove that a vessel is absent. Completed tracks, maritime notices and operational continuity are considered.

Updates

Seismic data are checked automatically. Articles are reviewed when a source changes materially or new official information appears.

Corrections

Documented corrections are reviewed and incorporated when appropriate without concealing substantial changes.

Commercial independence

Sponsors and advertisers cannot alter content, scientific classification, sources or corrections. Advertising is disclosed and kept separate.
