Cafelam is a general-interest digital magazine covering Technology, Business, Finance, Health, and Lifestyle. This page sets out the standards our writers work to and the process behind how articles reach the reader.
Accuracy
Our first obligation is to the reader. Facts in Cafelam articles are checked against primary sources where possible: published research, named clinicians for health stories, public filings for finance and business stories, and named engineers or company documentation for technology stories. Where a claim is disputed we say so rather than picking a side and presenting it as settled.
Secondary reporting from other outlets is cited as secondary, with a link to the original. We do not present quotes pulled from another outlet as if our writers collected them directly.
Sourcing and attribution
Quoted material names the speaker. Unattributed claims that could be controversial are either removed or supported with a public source. When an article relies on an interview, the interview circumstances are described briefly so the reader can judge the weight of the quote. Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when identifying them would put them at meaningful risk.
Corrections policy
Mistakes happen. When we are told about a factual error we check the claim against our sources. If the article is wrong, we correct it promptly and add a brief correction note at the bottom of the article explaining what changed and when. We do not silently edit articles to remove errors once they have been published. Typographical fixes and broken links are handled silently and do not require a note.
Report suspected errors to hello@cafelam.com with the article URL and the specific claim in question.
How we use AI
Some articles on Cafelam are drafted with the assistance of large language models. We are open about this because readers deserve to know. The rules we follow:
- Every AI-assisted article is reviewed by a human editor before publication. No article goes live without human review.
- Factual claims in AI-assisted drafts are checked against primary sources the same way as any other article. We do not treat model output as a source.
- Bylines identify the responsible human writer. We do not publish articles under the name of a non-existent person.
- We do not use AI to generate quotes, interviews, or statistics that were not collected or published elsewhere.
This is an evolving area. If our practice changes we will update this page.
Conflicts of interest
Writers disclose material conflicts in the article when relevant, for example a personal holding in a company they are covering, or a paid relationship with a product they are reviewing. When a conflict would make coverage untenable, someone else writes the piece.
Sponsored content
Cafelam does not currently accept sponsored content or paid guest posts. If that changes, sponsored items will be clearly labeled as such at the top of the article and in the byline, and they will be excluded from category feeds that are presented as editorial.
Comments
Comments are moderated. We welcome disagreement and pushback on our reporting; we do not publish harassment, spam, or content that violates the law. Moderation decisions are final but good-faith appeals can be sent to the main address.
