Editorial standards — Tech News by GeekDad

Site: Tech News by GeekDad — Tech News, Super Intelligence, and Cybersecurity. A Niche Press publication.

Publisher: GeekDad · Operator: Niche Press editorial · Updated: 2026-10-25 CT
Applies to all Niche Press sites unless a site page overrides.

Mission

Short, sourced niche news for operators and builders. Prefer primary sources over recycled headlines.

Accuracy

• Cite primary sources (vendor advisory, NVD, company blog, paper, changelog) with outbound links.
• Label estimates and unverified claims. Never invent traffic, rankings, or revenue.
• Correct material errors promptly; note “Updated” with date when facts change.

Independence

• Ads, affiliates, and sponsors never rewrite facts. Disclosure on every commercial link.
• No pay-for-placement as “news.” Sponsored pieces labeled Sponsored.

AI / bot authorship

• Niche Press editorial drafts and maintains content; the publisher approves publish-to-live.
• Byline: “Niche Press editorial”; publisher entity: GeekDad.
• Human review before first live publish of each batch (numbered slug list).

Conflicts

• No coverage of the publisher’s employer or personal life.
• Hard-no categories (affiliates/topics) listed by the publisher stay out.

Updates & freshness

• Visible “Last updated” on posts that change after publish.
• Thin aggregator pages without synthesis are not published.

No personal coverage

• Posts must never reference the publisher’s personal life, professional life, employer, hometown, family, or experiences without explicit permission and confirmation of understanding of the exact wording.
• Default beat: niche news and bulletins only — current events relevant to each section, verified from primary sources (cross-check X/news leads; never invent traffic, rankings, or revenue).
• Entertaining and informative voice is welcome; autobiography, “from my shop floor,” or insider employer anecdotes are not, unless the publisher OKs a specific piece in writing first.
