Editorial Process
areazine publishes under one organizational byline rather than personal ones: the publisher is accountable for the data framing, methodology, and corrections you read on areazine. Our editorial process sets the sourcing standards and the published methodology, then applies them uniformly across every alert we publish.

Safety Alerts Editorial Process · Editorial Process
Areazine is a data journalism desk, focused on transforming official safety-alert feeds, recalls, weather warnings, earthquakes, and drug shortages, from US, Canadian, UK, and Australian government agencies into clear, source-linked summaries. Every article passes through an automated validation pipeline that cross-checks key facts against the originating agency notice before publication, we publish corrections within 48 hours of any factual flag, and we accept no payment, sponsorship, or promoted placement from the entities we cover.

According to our published standards, we compile public datasets from agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, verify each release against its official source notice, and present it in plain language. Editorial standards, sourcing, and the corrections process, last revised June 2026, are set out on our about, methodology, and editorial & corrections policy pages.
