Editorial Policy

Kiwi Landing Pad News Agency is an independent digital publication committed to publishing accurate, relevant, and balanced stories about New Zealand startups, technology companies, scholarships, and global innovation involving Kiwi entrepreneurs. Our editorial standards are guided by integrity, transparency, and the public interest.

Editorial Independence:
Our editorial team operates independently from advertisers, sponsors, and any political or institutional influence. All content decisions are made solely by our editors and writers, based on newsworthiness, factual accuracy, and public relevance.

Content Sources & Attribution:
We strive to use verified, credible sources and attribute all data, quotes, and external references properly. Where applicable, we link to original sources. We conduct interviews, access public records, and cite official statements to ensure accuracy.

Fact-Checking:
All articles are reviewed internally for factual correctness and clarity. When possible, we verify claims against primary sources such as government websites, public databases, and direct communications with organizations or individuals.

Corrections:
We correct factual inaccuracies in a timely and transparent manner. Minor errors may be corrected silently, while major updates are noted at the bottom of the article with a date and explanation. Please see our full Corrections Policy for more information.

Opinions and Editorials:
Opinion articles are clearly labeled and reflect the views of the writer, not necessarily those of Kiwi Landing Pad News Agency. These pieces are subject to the same editorial review for respectful tone and factual accuracy of cited claims.

Sponsored or Affiliate Content:
We do not currently publish sponsored posts or affiliate content. If we introduce such formats in the future, they will be clearly disclosed at the top of the article as “Sponsored” or “Affiliate” in compliance with advertising standards.

Conflict of Interest:
Our contributors and editors are required to disclose any potential conflict of interest, including investments, employment, or partnerships with companies or institutions mentioned in their stories. We avoid assigning coverage that presents a conflict.

Editorial Review Process:
All articles go through an internal editorial process before publication. This includes review for grammar, structure, factual consistency, SEO formatting, and alignment with our brand tone.

User Contributions:
We occasionally feature guest articles or community submissions. All third-party contributions are reviewed and edited by our team for quality, accuracy, and alignment with our editorial standards. We reserve the right to reject or edit submissions.

Ownership & Mission:
This website was relaunched in 2025 under new ownership. Kiwi Landing Pad News Agency operates independently and is not affiliated with the former Kiwi Landing Pad entity. Our mission is to support the visibility and success of New Zealand technology companies and entrepreneurs on the global stage.
