Transparent leadership, independent judgment, zero tolerance for hidden agendas.​

​

As founder of The Truthline Network, I, Karen Hartley-Nagle—former President of New Castle County Council—set the tone: rigorous fact-finding, clear accountability, and clean lines between reporting, commentary, and advocacy. Editors and contributors disclose potential conflicts, prioritize verifiable documents, and follow a two-source rule for contested claims. Opinion is labeled. News is sourced. When we say something, it’s because we can prove it.

 

Share widely, credit clearly,

ask before you republish.​​​​

​

You can quote brief excerpts with a visible link back to the original page and clear attribution to The Truthline Network and the author. Full reprints, translations, or commercial use require written permission. Do not alter headlines, context, or meaning; if you add edits or emphasis, label them. Images, graphics, and video may have separate rights—assume they’re not cleared unless we say so.

 

Accuracy first, accessibility always.​

​​

​Errors are corrected prominently with time-stamped notes describing what changed and why. We provide accessible formats wherever possible—alt text for images, transcripts for audio/video, readable PDFs, and plain-language summaries for complex topics. If you need an accommodation or see an error, contact us via the site form; we review promptly and respond on the record.

Primary documents first;

every claim has a trail.

​

We privilege public records, official data, and firsthand documents. Long-form reports include citations and links so you can check the work yourself. Anonymous sources are rare and used only with corroboration and clear public interest. We upload key documents when lawful and safe to do so—because sunlight shouldn’t require a subpoena.
