Media and publication organizations

Decision-use posture

For Media and publication organizations, the public purpose is Provide attributable records, distinguish fact from scenario, correct errors publicly, and tolerate adversarial questioning. The evidence threshold is Canonical public records, release notes, correction history, and source boundaries. Potential reciprocal value includes direct answers; source traceability; correction visibility. None of those benefits is treated as consent, recognition, representation, authority, or obligation without competent evidence.

The relationship must not be used for information laundering; manufactured consensus; threatening access for unfavorable coverage. The governing non-domination rule is explicit: No essential dependency, hidden leverage, retaliation for exit, or manufactured inability to substitute. Any disagreement about this public record remains correctable through /state/information-rights/corrections/.
