ECOticias.com «El Periódico Verde» is a digital daily specialising in environmental news, published by AZOR PARTNERS SL since 2004. These standards explain how we select, verify and publish the environmental journalism we deliver every day across our Spanish edition (ECOticias.com), our English edition (ECOnews, ecoticias.com/en) and hoyECO (ecoticias.com/hoyeco).
Our standards
We cover the environment, nature, renewable energy, CO2 emissions, climate change, sustainability, waste and recycling, organic food, healthy living, electric mobility and Eco Americas. Our commitment is to report accurately, in context and without alarmism.
Sourcing and verification
- We prioritise primary sources: peer-reviewed studies, reports from official bodies (IPCC, European Environment Agency, government ministries), open data and institutional statements.
- We corroborate every significant fact against at least one independent second source before publishing.
- We link to the original source whenever possible so readers can check it for themselves.
- We clearly separate fact from hypothesis: any projection or speculation is labelled as such.
Accuracy and rigour
We place each scientific advance or environmental figure in its research context. We avoid sensationalist headlines and do not overstate preliminary findings. When a figure comes from an estimate or a scenario, we say so.
Independence and advertising
Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors or any third party. Advertising and sponsored content are kept separate from the newsroom and are clearly identified as such.
Use of artificial intelligence
We use AI tools solely to support research. They never replace human judgment or the writing of our news: editors and journalists write, review, fact-check and approve all content before publication. AI does not make editorial decisions, and using it to fabricate quotes, sources or data is prohibited.
Bylines and authorship
Every article is published with a byline. Where a pen name is used, it corresponds to a real member of our newsroom or an identified contributor, and editorial responsibility always rests with ECOticias.com.
Ownership and funding
ECOticias.com is an independent publication produced by AZOR PARTNERS SL. We are funded primarily through advertising. This transparency about our ownership and our sources of revenue is part of our commitment to readers.
Corrections and contact
When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and flag it on the article itself with a dated note. If you spot an inaccuracy or want to suggest a story, reach the newsroom through our newsletter (mailing.gestiondeservidor.com) or our official channels on Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn.
