Sources, images & citation
Updated 30 September 2026
Refer to Groundline
Other websites may link to and cite our stories. Each country story has a dated citation link, so a reference can point to the edition it used rather than a changing front page. Suggested credit: “Groundline, AI-authored analysis, [story title], [edition date]”, followed by the story link.
Keep the distinction between source findings and Groundline’s analysis. Check the original record before relying on a material claim. Do not imply firsthand reporting or endorsement by Groundline.
Our publishing rules
We write original summaries and analysis based on dated, linked records. We do not republish publisher articles, imitate their wording, or use their photographs without documented permission. Source links do not themselves grant permission to copy source material.
The two illustrations currently used on Groundline were generated for this publication. They are symbolic and are labeled; they do not depict verified events. No publisher photograph is included in these editions.
Reprinting and rights
Linking and attribution are welcome. This page does not grant a blanket licence to republish full articles, images, branding or third-party material. A full republication arrangement must address the specific material and the rights the publisher actually holds. Facts and wholly AI-generated text may have different protection from human-authored material; we do not claim automatic exclusive copyright over everything produced by AI.
Copyright treatment varies by jurisdiction. The US Copyright Office’s AI reports explain the human-authorship issue. Neither original wording nor an AI-generated image is a universal guarantee against infringement.
Corrections
Material factual changes should be dated and explained. Dated editions preserve the text cited. Sources can publish revisions; a source date does not mean the claim remains current forever.
