Independent Human Rights & Legal Intelligence

Publication disclosure

Masthead & Disclosure

HeadlinesMagazine.com is an independent journalism and legal-intelligence publication covering human rights, civil liberties, LGBTQIA+ rights, international law, and social justice.

Editorial status: this publication is building its contributor and editorial-review structure. Until a named person has consented to be listed and their role, contact route, and disclosure have been verified, we do not publish a personal byline, staff credential, press accreditation, or third-party certification claim. The publisher identity and address are disclosed below.

Editorial structure

HeadlinesMagazine.com operates as an editorially independent newsroom. The publisher (XCOM.DEV) finances the publication and defines its broad mission; the publisher does not control editorial decisions. Final editorial authority rests with the Editor-in-Chief. See the Editorial Independence Charter.

Editorial firewall: the publisher, any affiliated organization, and any commercial partner are separated from editorial decision-making. No representative of these parties may direct, edit, approve, suppress, or veto editorial content.

Coverage of the publisher or any affiliated organization is governed by the Related-Party Reporting Protocol, which requires an independent editor, external sources, right of reply, and a visible relationship disclosure.

Editorial Accountability

Source-led legal briefings

Published legal briefs must distinguish primary material, secondary reporting, and analysis. Each brief should identify the source title, publisher or court, source date, URL, and the date the source was reviewed.

Bylines and authors

Only real, consenting contributors with a public author profile may receive a byline. A profile will include the contributor's editorial role, biography, relevant disclosures, contact route, and a list of published work. Author profiles live at /authors/<slug>/ and contain: name, role, beats, biography, professional background, articles, contact method, editorial affiliations, and conflict disclosures.

The default byline HeadlinesMagazine News Desk is reserved for genuine collaborative desk reporting and short briefings — it is not used as the default byline for the majority of the site. Named journalists are preferred for original reporting.

Corrections and conflicts

Errors should be corrected with a dated note on the affected page. Contributors must disclose material conflicts before publication. See the Corrections Policy and Ethics Policy.

Conflict-of-Interest Disclosure

HeadlinesMagazine.com has an organizational connection to GayJustice.org, an LGBTQIA+ rights project operating under the same publisher (XCOM.DEV). This relationship is disclosed here for transparency.

When a briefing covers an event involving GayJustice or any affiliated organization, the connection is disclosed on the article page. GayJustice does not exercise editorial control over HeadlinesMagazine.com. Editorial decisions are made independently by the publication's editorial process.

The publisher identity and address above are provided for publication transparency. HeadlinesMagazine.com does not claim accreditation, certification, or a staffed newsroom beyond what is documented on this page.
