Our editorial standards are the foundation of everything we publish. This page explains exactly how we work — with full transparency.
OMGHive's editorial mission is to cover the internet's most viral and significant stories with accuracy, context, and genuine value for the reader. We believe viral news and high editorial standards are not opposites — they are complementary. A story can be fascinating and fact-checked at the same time.
We select stories based on the following criteria:
We do not publish rumors, unverified claims, or stories that exist only on social media without corroboration from a credible primary source.
Every factual claim in an OMGHive article must be traceable to at least one primary source. We link to original sources directly within the article so readers can verify our reporting independently.
We attribute all information to its source. When we quote, we quote accurately. When we paraphrase, we paraphrase fairly. We never misrepresent what a source said.
Our headlines are designed to be engaging, but they must accurately represent the content of the article. We do not use headlines that mislead, exaggerate, or make claims the article does not support.
OMGHive uses AI technology as part of our editorial workflow. We are transparent about this. Our AI systems assist with:
All AI-generated content is reviewed against our editorial standards before publication. Our editorial team is responsible for the accuracy and quality of every published article, regardless of how it was produced. We do not publish AI output without human editorial oversight.
OMGHive is funded through display advertising (Google AdSense). Our advertising relationships have absolutely no influence on our editorial decisions. We do not accept money to write about products, companies, or individuals. All advertising is clearly separated from editorial content and labeled as such.
We correct errors promptly and transparently. When we make a factual error:
To report an error, email corrections@omghive.com. We commit to responding within 24 hours.
We respect the privacy of private individuals. We do not publish identifying information about private citizens without their consent. Public figures are held to a different standard — their public actions and statements are fair subjects for coverage. Our full privacy policy is available at omghive.com/privacy.html.
