Our approach

Context is part of accuracy.

Official documents are valuable primary sources, but their purpose and limits matter. A filing records what a company submitted, not independent verification. A forecast describes probability, not certainty. A criminal charge describes an allegation, not a verdict.

EZ News guides do not replace complete filings, emergency instructions, court records, financial or legal advice, or professional forecasts. They give readers a reliable frame for understanding what an official source says—and what it does not say.
