The site is published by the association named above, registered under VR 42283 at Amtsgericht Wittlich. It is not a commercial news outlet and carries no advertising. Its purpose is to document the proposed Gewerbepark project in Maring-Noviand and to report dated news items with their sources attached.
That scope is deliberate. A commercial outlet answers to an owner, an advertiser base or a subscriber count. This site answers to a membership that votes, and its record can be checked against minutes, filings and published documents. Because the association is also a party to the debate, the site separates reporting from advocacy instead of presenting both as one voice.
Everything published here falls into one of three categories, and each item says which one it is: a confirmed fact drawn from a named source, a plan that is proposed but not yet decided, or a position adopted by the association and minuted at a general meeting. Where the category is unclear, the item is labelled as context rather than as a finding.
Two jobs run side by side here, and they are kept apart on purpose so neither is mistaken for the other.
Job one — documentation
Dated entries about the project, each labelled as confirmed, planned, or an association position. The record runs forward in time, so a statement made in one month can be read against the decision taken in the next one.
Job two — news coverage
Reports on current events, each attributed to the outlet that filed it and dated. Where an outlet cites an authority, the article names that authority and does not upgrade the claim to a fact of this site’s own.
A news article here is a summary of someone else’s reporting, and it says so. The steps below are the ones every article follows before it is published.
1
Whoever filed the original report is named in the first paragraph, together with the date the report appeared.
2
Nothing is presented as independently verified when it repeats someone else’s reporting. Where a figure comes from authorities cited by that outlet, the article says so.
3
The original report and any document it rests on are linked below the text, so a reader can reach the source without searching for it.
4
The publication date stays with the item, and later changes are appended rather than folded into the original text.
A reader should be able to tell, from the page alone, whether a line is a finding, a proposal or an opinion. The labels below are what each one means.
The association’s own views are published only in sections marked as association positions and are attributed to the association by name. They are adopted at general meetings and minuted.
The site prefers original documents and the publishing body’s own copy. Where a filing, a decision notice or an association minute exists, that document is linked directly rather than described from memory.
Where only a secondary summary is available, that is stated on the item. A reader should never have to guess whether a line came from a primary document or from a report about one.
Verification of images or footage is reported as the source outlet reported it, with the verifying organisation named — as in the case of BBC Verify. This site does not perform its own forensic verification, and it does not claim to.
When a claim cannot be traced to a document or to a named outlet, it does not appear as a finding. It is either left out or placed in context with a note that it is unconfirmed.
Corrections are appended to the affected item with the date and a note on what changed. Nothing is silently removed.
Where an outlet corrects its own report, the change is noted on the corresponding page here, because readers may have shared the original version. The note says what the outlet changed, on which date, and what the earlier text said.
The original wording stays in the record rather than being overwritten. If a figure is revised, both the earlier and the current figure remain readable, with the date of the revision between them.
If you believe an item on this site is wrong, or that a source has been misread, send the page address and the source you are referring to. Corrections that affect the record are published on the item itself, not only in a reply.
Do
Expect
Anyone named in coverage may submit a reply. Replies are published alongside the original item, and the association does not edit them beyond formatting.
A reply is not a comment thread. It is the named party’s own statement, set next to the report it answers, so a reader sees both without hunting for one of them.
Complaints about accuracy, labelling, or fairness can be sent to the email address above or by post to the association’s address. Include the page and the source you are referring to.
The association aims to respond within a few working days and to publish the outcome where it affects the record. Where a complaint is upheld, the correction follows the same rule as any other correction on this site: appended with a date, never quietly deleted.
