Editorial Standards
Trivia Insight publishes general-knowledge stories about science, history, geography, entertainment, literature, art, and the world around us. These standards explain who makes that content, how we research it, and how we fix things when we get them wrong.
Who we are
Trivia Insight is an independent publication produced by a small in-house editorial team. There is no single celebrity byline here — every article carries the shared responsibility of our editors, who plan the topics, check the facts, and approve each piece before it is published. You can always reach a human: see Contact.
How we research and write
Every article starts from a clear question or topic, not a keyword. We gather information from reputable, verifiable sources — reference works, academic and museum material, primary documents, and established news outlets — and we prefer primary sources over second-hand summaries. Where a claim is disputed or uncertain, we say so rather than smoothing it over. The sources that informed each article are listed at the bottom of the page so you can check our work.
How we use AI
We use AI tools to help with early drafting, structuring, and copy-editing — the same way other newsrooms use research and writing software. AI never has the final word. Every article is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a person before it goes live, and a human editor is accountable for everything we publish. We do not publish unreviewed machine output, and we do not use AI to fabricate quotes, sources, or images presented as real.
Fact-checking and sources
Before publishing, we verify names, dates, numbers, and surprising claims against at least one reliable source — and usually more than one. Direct quotations are checked against their original context. If we cannot stand a fact up, we cut it. Our aim is simple: everything stated as fact on Trivia Insight should be something a curious reader could confirm from the sources we cite.
Corrections and updates
We get things wrong sometimes, and when we do we fix them promptly and openly. If an article is changed in a way that affects its meaning, we note that it was updated. If you spot an error, email us and we will review it quickly — accuracy matters more to us than being right the first time. Reach us through the Contact page.
Advertising and independence
Trivia Insight is supported by advertising and by our free newsletter. Ads are clearly distinguishable from editorial content, and advertisers have no say over the topics we cover or the conclusions we reach. Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship.
