Editorial Guidelines

At The Defense Post, we are committed to delivering accurate, impartial, and accessible reporting and insights on defense, international security, and foreign policy for industry professionals, decision-makers, and everyday readers worldwide.

Below are the core principles that guide everything we publish.

Accuracy and Reliability

We prioritize fact-based, well-researched journalism by rigorously verifying and citing our sources.

Our reporting is built on primary sources, including government press releases, defense agency reports, and statements from credible institutions.

We provide context through a historical background and geopolitical factors that shape current events.

Lastly, we continuously update our content and strive to avoid errors or outdated information.

Editorial Independence

We maintain full editorial independence, operating free from external influence, including governments, defense contractors, and advertisers. 

Sponsored content and partnerships are transparently disclosed.

Clarity Without Compromise

Defense and security are complex topics, but our reporting makes them accessible without sacrificing depth or accuracy.

We avoid unnecessary jargon while ensuring readers, whether policymakers, industry experts, or the general public, can engage with our content meaningfully.

Transparency and Accountability

Trust is at the core of our publication. We clearly distinguish editorial content from advertising and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Errors are promptly corrected, and we remain committed to providing the most current and accurate information.

Expertise and Credibility

Our writers and contributors have deep knowledge of defense and security matters. When featuring external experts, we present their credentials clearly, allowing readers to assess their perspectives with confidence.
