Unverified: a report is circulating, and here's what we will and won't publish
When an unconfirmed personal claim spreads, our default is restraint. We say what is known, what is unconfirmed, and who would have to speak for the story to change.

Unverified reports, especially about anyone's private life, travel faster than the facts behind them. Our policy is simple: we do not repeat an unconfirmed personal claim as if it were established, and we never build a gallery whose only purpose is to capitalize on one.
When something is genuinely newsworthy but unconfirmed, we say plainly what is known, what is not, and who would have to confirm it for the story to change. The 'Unverified' label exists so that status is never ambiguous.
