Case reporting
Cybercrime case reporting and coverage standards
CyberCrimeToday uses careful language when reporting on active investigations. Terms such as accused, suspect, alleged, according to police and authorities reported are used before a final court judgment is reached. This prevents misinformation and keeps the publication fact-based.
Coverage includes
- Date and location when verified
- Authorities involved
- Allegations and investigation status
- Court status if applicable
- Sources and timeline
Editorial guardrail
We do not describe someone as criminal merely because an accusation has been made. When a final court judgment exists, we accurately describe the judgment and its consequence.
