  3. VITON13 sells products and services and publishes VJOURNAL. The commercial-content section of the editorial policy sets out how the two are kept apart and how commercial content is labelled.
  4. Facts are attributed to the sources listed on each story; interpretation is marked as interpretation. A story that misses a checking gate is not published.
  5. Corrections: send the story URL and the disputed claim to viton13bussiness@gmail.com. The claim is checked against the sources the story cites.
