JD Transcription is an independent news site. This page explains how we choose, report, write and update stories. Readers can use it to judge our work.
Our mission
We report with care and fairness. We cover transcription news. We cover captioning and court reporting. We also cover translation. We cover localization news too. We write for the people who buy, manage and work in these fields.
Sourcing and verification
- We rely on primary sources wherever we can. These include court filings, laws and rules, and agency notices. They also include tender and contract documents, company filings and news, and published research.
- We link to our sources so readers can check them.
- When we build on another outlet’s reporting, we name and link to that outlet. We summarize in our own words and quote short passages.
- Company claims about accuracy, speed or market share are credited to the company. We present a claim as fact after we verify it ourselves.
- We publish a claim from an unnamed source after we verify it. We explain why a source stays unnamed.
Use of AI tools
AI tools may help with research and drafts. Our editor reviews every article. The editor checks it against its sources before we publish. Our editor stands behind everything we publish. Every quote, source and image of a real event is checked by our editor.
Independence
- JD Transcription publishes news. We cover transcription, captioning and court reporting. We also cover translation and interpreting work.
- Our editors choose every story on its news value. Payment, gifts and favors stay separate from coverage.
- Advertisers, sponsors and companies see a story after we publish it.
- We cover providers as news subjects. Readers choose their own vendors.
Disclosing interests
- Anyone who writes or edits for JD Transcription must share outside interests. This includes a financial or personal interest in a company they cover. A writer with such an interest steps away from that story.
- If an interest is relevant to a published story, we disclose it in the story.
- Our publisher will disclose any financial interest that is relevant to a story.
Advertising and sponsored content
The site is free of ads and sponsored content today. Future ads or sponsored posts will carry a clear “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” label. They will stay separate from news coverage.
Fairness
When a story makes major claims about a person or company, we try to contact them for comment before publishing. We note when a reply is still pending when we publish.
Dates, bylines and updates
Every article shows its author and the date we published it. When we make a major change, we add the date of the change and a note that describes it.
Corrections
We update facts quickly and we show the change. See our Corrections Policy.
