Disclaimer

What this site is, and what it is not

BROAD BROWSE publishes journalism for general information. We report what happened, who said it, and where the document or the figure came from. Nobody reads a disclaimer for pleasure and we have not tried to make this one enjoyable, but the distinction it draws is one our readers act on, so it is worth setting out properly.

Nothing here is professional advice. A story about a court ruling is not legal advice about your situation. A story about interest rates or a company’s results is not financial advice about your money. Coverage of a health study is not medical advice about your body. We are not your lawyer, your adviser or your doctor, and a news article cannot become one no matter how carefully it is written.

News changes fast, and this page ages faster

The single most important thing on this page is also the simplest. News is a moving picture, and any given story is a photograph of one moment in it. The early casualty figure rises. The first named cause turns out to be something else. The official statement is walked back, the market moves the other way by the afternoon, the study is qualified once other researchers get their hands on it.

So a page that was accurate when we published it can be overtaken within the hour, and an old page found later through a search can be flatly out of date without anything on it having been wrong at the time. Check the date on the story. Before you act on anything time sensitive, whether that is travel, money, health or safety, confirm it against the primary source, the official channel, or a qualified professional. We update developing stories and correct mistakes, but we cannot reach back into a decision you made on an old version.

On advice, and the difference from information

We explain things because a general news reader deserves to understand them, not only to be told they happened. Explaining is not advising. When we report what a central bank did, we are describing an event, not telling you what to do with your savings. When we cover a treatment, we are reporting a finding, not prescribing anything. Your circumstances are yours, and only someone who knows them and is qualified to judge can turn general information into a decision that fits you.

Other people’s sites, other people’s claims

We link out to sources, official pages and further reading. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for what they publish or collect, and a link from us is not an endorsement of everything on the other end. If a linked page has changed or vanished by the time you reach it, that is outside our hands.

The same caution applies to material we quote. When we report that an official, a company or a study said something, we are telling you accurately what was said. That is not the same as us vouching that the claim itself is true, and where we can test a claim we say what we found, which is the job of our fact-checking policy.

Opinion, analysis and forecasts

Some of what we publish is opinion or analysis, and it is labelled that way and kept off the news pages, a separation described in our editorial standards. Opinion is an argument, not a fact, and you are free to disagree with all of it. Any forecast, projection or expectation we report, whether ours or a source’s, is a view about an uncertain future and not a promise about it. The future has a long record of ignoring confident predictions.

Getting it wrong, and putting it right

We make mistakes, because everyone reporting at speed does. This disclaimer is not a shield against that, and it is not an excuse for it. When we are wrong we fix the story with a dated note rather than editing it away in silence, and the way that works, and the way you can push it, is in our corrections policy. If something here has harmed or misled you, we want to know: write to support@broadbrowse.com and tell us exactly what and where.

The rules that govern your use of the site sit alongside this page in our terms of service. Read the two together, and when in doubt about anything you plan to act on, treat the news as the beginning of your checking rather than the end of it.
