MYKONEA / THE PUBLICATION
Editorial standards
These standards govern Mykonea’s intended public operation and apply to human and AI-assisted production.
Accuracy, neutrality and Cyclades-focused public interest
Mykonea focuses on Mykonos and the Cyclades. A national or international development belongs in the publication only when it has a direct, material connection to the islands or the people and institutions that serve them. That focus never justifies hiding facts, distorting evidence or partisan advocacy. Political coverage uses consistent evidentiary standards and distinguishes verified facts, attributed claims, analysis and opinion.
Sources, rights and independent synthesis
We use sources whose identity and permitted use can be recorded. Sources are credited with links where appropriate; attribution alone is not permission to reproduce text or media. Mykonea creates independently worded summaries or syntheses and does not treat AI paraphrasing as a substitute for permission, documentation or original reporting. When photographs, artworks or another original visual work are themselves the subject of a story, authentic licensed media or an embed from the original public post is preferred; AI artwork is not used as a documentary substitute.
AI-assisted production and translation
AI-assisted drafting or translation is disclosed where relevant. Automated checks can miss errors. Sensitive political, legal, health, crime, allegation-based and other high-risk stories require stronger review and are not treated as independently verified merely because an AI system processed them. AI illustrations are labelled and must never be presented as documentary evidence of a real event.
Corrections
Material corrections should state what changed and when. Published article URLs should remain stable where possible, and revision history supports accountable editing. Send a correction request with the article link and supporting evidence. Contact the publication
