How we work
We work from primary sources: official figures and guidance from the ONS, HMRC, Ofgem, gov.uk, the Bank of England and the FCA, alongside company announcements and the people affected. Where we learn of a story from a press release or another publication, we treat it as a lead and go back to the original source before we write.
We do not republish press releases as articles, and we do not rewrite other publications' reporting. Where a claim rests on a dataset, a filing or an official announcement, we link to it.
Some of our reporting is produced with the assistance of AI tools. Every story is reviewed by a human editor before it is published. We publish under the name of the publication rather than under individual bylines.
Our approach
Daily News Blog is a new title, launching in 2026. We are building a running record of what is happening to household money: the energy price changes, the tax and benefit shifts, the movements in prices and inflation, and the banking and savings decisions that shape what people pay and what they keep.
Our reporting is journalism about money, not regulated financial advice. It is published for general information and is no substitute for advice tailored to your own circumstances.
We would rather publish fewer stories and get them right than chase every headline.
Corrections
If we have got something wrong, tell us at editor@dailynewsblog.co.uk. We will correct it, and the article will say that it has been corrected and when. Our editorial standards set out how we handle this.
