What Good Content Means Here
Zenith Compass publishes content for general readers who want clear, dependable and enjoyable reading. These content standards apply to every article, guide and page on the website, whoever writes it. They sit alongside our Editorial Policy, which explains how editorial decisions are made and how corrections are handled.
If a piece of content cannot meet these standards, it should be revised — or not published at all.
Accuracy and Honesty
- Factual claims must be checked before publication and must not be exaggerated for effect.
- Statistics, research findings and quotations must come from identifiable, reliable sources. We never invent them.
- Headlines and introductions must reflect what the article actually delivers. Clickbait is not acceptable.
- Where a topic is debated or evidence is incomplete, the article should acknowledge uncertainty in plain language.
- Product or service mentions must be fair and specific. We do not publish fake reviews, invented testimonials or undisclosed paid endorsements.
Originality and Attribution
All content must be original to Zenith Compass. Plagiarism, close paraphrasing of another publication’s work, and republishing material without permission are prohibited. Ideas and facts drawn from external sources should be credited or linked where that helps the reader verify or explore further.
Quotations must be accurate and attributed to the person or organisation who actually said or published them. Images, illustrations and other media must be properly licensed or original, and must not be copied from competitor websites.
Reader-First Writing
Articles should be organised around the reader’s questions, not around keywords. Our writing standards include:
- One clear main heading and a logical structure of subheadings.
- Short paragraphs and plain, natural British English.
- Technical or specialist terms explained on first use.
- Practical examples and actionable steps where the topic allows.
- Bullet points and tables only where they genuinely improve clarity.
- A concise conclusion that summarises the main points without repeating the whole article.
- Frequently asked questions only where they answer real reader queries.
We avoid keyword stuffing, repetitive paragraphs, padded introductions and content produced solely to target a search phrase without helping the reader.
Sourcing and Evidence
Writers should prefer primary and authoritative sources: official guidance, recognised standards, original documentation and reputable reference works. Secondary reporting may be used for context, but important claims should not rest on a single weak source. Dates matter — guidance that may have changed should be checked against the most recent available version.
For Health & Wellness and Business & Finance content, writers must be especially careful: include appropriate cautions, avoid promising outcomes, and make clear that the content is general information, not personal advice.
Images and Media
Featured and in-article images should be relevant, high quality and consistent with the magazine’s editorial style. Images require descriptive file names and meaningful alternative text for readers who cannot see them. Decorative images should not carry misleading captions, and photographs must not be presented as evidence of something they do not show.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Content should be readable by as wide an audience as possible. That means clear heading structure, descriptive link text rather than “click here”, sufficient colour contrast in design, and language that is respectful and inclusive. We avoid stereotypes in both writing and image selection.
Review and Maintenance
Published content is reviewed periodically. Articles may be updated, expanded, corrected or, where they are no longer accurate or useful, removed. Content quality is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-off check at publication.
