Editorial Standards

Our Mission

Keep TX Red exists to provide Texans with clear, accurate, and accessible information about state policy, elections, local government, and the issues shaping the future of the Lone Star State. Our editorial standards ensure that every article we publish reflects our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and reader trust.

Accuracy & Verification

We strive to ensure that all information published on Keep TX Red is accurate at the time of publication.

• We verify facts using official sources such as the Texas Legislature, Texas Comptroller, Secretary of State, ERCOT, TEA, and county appraisal districts.
• When reporting on public statements, legislation, or government actions, we link directly to primary documents whenever possible.
• If an error is identified, we correct it promptly and transparently.

Editorial Independence

Keep TX Red is an independent publication. We are not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

• Our coverage decisions are made by our editorial team.
• We do not accept payment for coverage, placement, or favorable treatment.
• Sponsored content, if ever used, will be clearly labeled.

Use of AI‑Assisted Tools

We use AI‑assisted tools to help generate drafts, summaries, and research support. However:

• Every evergreen article includes human‑written sections, edits, and review.
• All content is checked for accuracy, clarity, and relevance before publication.
• AI tools never determine our editorial stance or coverage priorities.

This hybrid approach allows us to publish efficiently while maintaining human oversight and accountability.

Sourcing & Transparency

We prioritize transparency in how we gather and present information.

• Official sources are linked directly in each article.
• When citing data, we reference the originating agency or dataset.
• When using third‑party reports, we attribute them clearly and avoid misrepresentation.

Corrections Policy

If we publish an error, we correct it as quickly as possible.

• Minor corrections (typos, formatting) may be made silently.
• Substantive corrections (facts, figures, misstatements) include an editor’s note at the bottom of the article.
• Readers may submit correction requests through our Contact page.

Editorial Voice

Our editorial voice is clear, direct, and focused on Texas policy, governance, and civic engagement.

• Evergreen explainers aim to educate, not sensationalize.
• News updates summarize key developments without unnecessary speculation.
• Opinion or analysis pieces, if published, will be clearly labeled.

Reader Trust

We believe Texans deserve journalism that respects their intelligence and their time.

• Articles include “Last Updated” timestamps.
• FAQs and related‑article sections help readers explore topics in depth.
• We maintain a glossary to ensure clarity around Texas political terminology.
