1. About Texas Hayom

Texas Hayom is a Jewish-owned news and media organization owned and operated by Hayom Media USA.

Our purpose is to investigate, identify, gather, verify, analyze, report, write about, and publish information concerning events, incidents, developments, people, organizations, issues, and matters that are happening now, have happened in the past, or that, based upon available information and responsible analysis, we believe may happen in the future.

Texas Hayom publishes news and information that we believe may be relevant, useful, informative, or of interest to our readers, with a particular focus on Jewish communities in Texas, Israel, Jewish life, and matters affecting Jewish people.

Our coverage may also include general secular news and information concerning Texas, the United States, international affairs, government, politics, public safety, business, culture, technology, education, community affairs, and other matters of legitimate public interest.

Texas Hayom may publish its reporting and other content through its website, newsletters, social-media accounts, affiliated publications, video, audio, digital platforms, printed materials, and other forms of media.

2. Ownership and Jewish Identity

Texas Hayom is a Jewish-owned news and media business.

Our Jewish identity is an important part of our mission and editorial focus. Texas Hayom seeks to provide Jewish readers in Texas with a source for general news, Jewish community news, Israel-related news, community events, announcements, business information, kosher resources, and other material relevant to Jewish life.

Texas Hayom’s Jewish identity does not mean that our reporting is limited exclusively to Jewish subjects, nor does it mean that every writer, contributor, employee, source, advertiser, reader, or person featured in our reporting is Jewish.

We welcome readers of all backgrounds.

3. Affiliation With Texas News Express

Texas Hayom is affiliated with Texas News Express, available at:

www.texnewsexpress.com

Texas Hayom and Texas News Express may share certain resources, reporting, information, personnel, technology, editorial resources, administrative services, news gathering, photographs, research, or other media-related services where appropriate.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, each publication maintains responsibility for its own published content and editorial decisions.

The existence of an affiliation does not necessarily mean that every article, editorial position, opinion, or statement published by one organization represents the position of the other.

4. Professional Media Memberships and Accreditations

Texas Hayom, Hayom Media USA, and/or their affiliated news operations are accredited with, members of, credentialed by, or professionally affiliated with news, journalism, press, media, and media-trade organizations in the United States of America, Israel, Canada, and other countries and jurisdictions.

These memberships, accreditations, credentials, and professional affiliations reflect our participation in the professional news and media industry and our efforts to operate according to recognized standards and practices associated with journalism and news media.

Professional memberships and media accreditations may include organizations that operate at the local, state, national, or international level.

Membership, accreditation, credentialing, recognition, or affiliation with a particular organization does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of Texas Hayom, Hayom Media USA, Texas News Express, any individual reporter, contributor, article, investigation, editorial position, political viewpoint, or opinion by that organization.

Similarly, membership in or accreditation by a news, journalism, press, or media organization does not give that outside organization editorial control over Texas Hayom.

Editorial decisions remain under the independent control of Texas Hayom and Hayom Media USA.

5. Our News-Gathering Purpose

The role of Texas Hayom is to gather and communicate information to the public.

In carrying out this purpose, our journalists, writers, editors, researchers, contributors, and affiliates may:

Investigate matters of public interest;
Review public records;
Conduct interviews;
Contact individuals, businesses, government agencies, organizations, and public officials;
Review photographs, video, audio, documents, reports, and other records;
Attend public meetings and events;
Review court records and government records;
Examine publicly available online information;
Receive and evaluate news tips;
Review statements, press releases, and official announcements;
Speak with witnesses, experts, community members, and other sources;
Conduct research;
Compare information from multiple sources;
Analyze developing events; and
Publish information we determine to be newsworthy or of legitimate public interest.

The fact that Texas Hayom investigates a person, organization, business, event, allegation, incident, or issue does not itself mean that wrongdoing has occurred.

6. News, Analysis, and Developing Stories

News is often developing and may change rapidly.

Texas Hayom seeks to publish information that is accurate based upon the information reasonably available to us at the time of publication.

However, information may later:

Change;
Be clarified;
Be corrected;
Be disputed;
Be supplemented;
Become outdated;
Be contradicted by new evidence; or
Be affected by later developments.

Texas Hayom may update, revise, clarify, correct, expand, supplement, or remove published material when we determine that doing so is appropriate.

A story may also be updated as additional information becomes available.

7. Opinion, Commentary, and Editorial Articles

Texas Hayom may publish opinion articles, editorials, commentary, columns, guest contributions, analysis, and other material that expresses a writer’s personal views.

When an article primarily represents opinion rather than straight news reporting, Texas Hayom will identify it in some manner as:

“Opinion,” “Editorial,” “Commentary,”

or through another reasonably clear designation indicating that the material contains opinion or personal interpretation.

The opinions, views, conclusions, interpretations, and statements expressed in an opinion article are those of the individual writer or contributor and do not necessarily represent the views of Texas Hayom, Hayom Media USA, Texas News Express, or any of their owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates, contractors, representatives, advertisers, or other contributors.

Publication of an opinion article does not mean that Texas Hayom endorses every statement, argument, conclusion, or position contained in that article.

Texas Hayom may publish differing or opposing viewpoints concerning matters of public interest.

8. Analysis and Predictions About Future Events

Texas Hayom may report on or analyze events that have not yet occurred.

Such content may include:

Political forecasts;
Election analysis;
Economic projections;
Geopolitical analysis;
Security assessments;
Weather-related developments;
Business projections;
Legal developments;
Community developments; or
Other possible future events.

Reporting or analysis concerning future events may be based upon available evidence, historical patterns, current developments, expert opinions, official statements, public records, research, statistical information, or other sources.

A prediction, projection, estimate, forecast, or analysis of a future event is not a guarantee that the event will occur.

Future events are inherently uncertain, and circumstances may change after publication.

9. Corrections and Accuracy

Texas Hayom seeks to report factual information accurately and responsibly.

When we become aware of a material factual error and are able to reasonably verify the error, we may publish a:

Correction;
Clarification;
Update;
Editor’s note;
Revised article; or
Other appropriate modification.

Individuals, businesses, organizations, government agencies, or other persons who believe a factual statement concerning them is materially incorrect are encouraged to contact Texas Hayom.

A request for correction does not automatically require Texas Hayom to modify, retract, or remove an article.

We may review available evidence, documentation, recordings, public records, source information, and other relevant material before determining whether a correction or clarification is appropriate.

10. Editorial Independence

Texas Hayom retains editorial control over the content it publishes.

Decisions concerning:

What stories to investigate;
Which stories to publish;
Article placement;
Headlines;
Photographs;
Interviews;
Sources;
Editorial priorities;
Corrections;
Commentary;
Investigative methods;
Story updates; and
Publication schedules

are made by Texas Hayom and its authorized editorial personnel.

Advertisers, sponsors, businesses, organizations, political figures, public officials, outside groups, and professional associations do not automatically receive editorial control because of a commercial, professional, membership, accreditation, or other relationship with Texas Hayom.

11. Political Reporting

Texas Hayom may report on:

Political candidates;
Political parties;
Elections;
Government agencies;
Elected officials;
Legislation;
Public policy;
Government actions;
Political organizations;
Political controversies; and
Other political matters.

Reporting about a candidate, party, official, or political position does not by itself constitute support for or opposition to that person, party, or position.

Unless clearly designated as an opinion, endorsement, editorial, or commentary, political news reporting should not be interpreted as representing an official political position of Texas Hayom.

Texas Hayom may publish information and perspectives representing different political viewpoints.

12. Sources and Third-Party Statements

Texas Hayom may obtain information from many different sources, including:

Government agencies;
Law-enforcement agencies;
Courts;
Public officials;
Businesses;
Organizations;
Attorneys;
Witnesses;
Experts;
Researchers;
Community members;
Press releases;
Public statements;
Other news organizations;
Public records;
Social media;
Interviews; and
Other lawful sources.

The fact that Texas Hayom quotes, references, links to, interviews, or reports information provided by a person or organization does not mean that Texas Hayom endorses that person’s or organization’s views.

Statements attributed to outside persons or organizations represent the statements of those sources.

Texas Hayom may report allegations when the allegations themselves are newsworthy. Reporting an allegation does not necessarily mean that Texas Hayom has concluded that the allegation is true.

13. Compliance With Applicable Law

Texas Hayom and Hayom Media USA intend to conduct their news-gathering, publishing, advertising, business, privacy, intellectual-property, and other activities in compliance with all applicable laws.

These may include applicable:

Federal laws;
Texas laws;
Local laws;
Copyright and intellectual-property laws;
Privacy laws;
Advertising laws;
Media and publishing laws;
Court orders; and
Other legal requirements applicable to our operations.

Nothing published by Texas Hayom is intended to encourage or facilitate unlawful conduct.

14. Opposition to Antisemitism

Texas Hayom unequivocally opposes antisemitism.

We oppose hatred, discrimination, harassment, intimidation, threats, or violence directed against Jewish people, Jewish communities, Jewish institutions, Jewish organizations, synagogues, or persons because they are Jewish or are perceived to be Jewish.

We believe Jewish people should be able to:

Live safely;
Practice their religion;
Express their Jewish identity;
Participate in public life;
Attend religious institutions;
Operate businesses;
Obtain education;
Participate in government and civic life; and
Enjoy the same rights and protections as other members of society

without unlawful discrimination, intimidation, harassment, or violence.

Texas Hayom may report extensively on antisemitism, threats to Jewish communities, discrimination, hate crimes, Israel-related matters, and other subjects that affect Jewish people.

15. Commitment to Equal Rights

Texas Hayom believes in equal rights under the law and equal treatment throughout society.

We believe that all people should receive the rights, protections, opportunities, due process, and legal safeguards provided by applicable law.

Texas Hayom opposes unlawful discrimination.

Our opposition to antisemitism is part of a broader belief that people should not be denied equal rights or equal protection because of characteristics protected by law.

Texas Hayom’s Jewish identity and commitment to Jewish communities do not diminish our belief in the civil and legal rights of other people.

16. Jewish and Israeli Editorial Focus

Texas Hayom maintains a particular editorial focus on issues affecting Jewish people, Jewish communities in Texas, Israel, Israeli culture, Jewish organizations, synagogues, kosher businesses, antisemitism, Jewish education, community life, and related subjects.

This focus reflects the mission and intended audience of Texas Hayom.

However, Texas Hayom is also a general news organization and may report on ordinary secular subjects that have no specific religious connection.

These may include:

Breaking news;
Texas news;
National news;
International news;
Business;
Crime and public safety;
Government;
Politics;

It should not necessarily be interpreted as an official halachic ruling or individualized religious advice.

Readers seeking a formal halachic determination should consult an appropriate rabbi or recognized religious authority.

18. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Texas Hayom may receive revenue from:

Advertising;
Sponsorships;
Promoted listings;

Affiliate arrangements;
Commercial partnerships; or
Other lawful sources.

Where appropriate, paid editorial-style content will be identified as:

The acceptance of advertising or sponsorship does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the advertiser, its owners, its products, its services, its political positions, or its business practices.

with the organizer.

21. Kashrut and Kosher Information

Texas Hayom may report or publish information concerning restaurants, grocery stores, caterers, products, and other businesses represented as kosher.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Texas Hayom is not a kashrut-certification authority and does not itself certify food, restaurants, businesses, kitchens, or products as kosher.

Kosher status, supervision, certification, and standards may change.

Readers for whom kashrut is important should independently confirm current certification or supervision with the business and the appropriate rabbinical or kosher-certification authority.

22. Reporting Does Not Constitute Endorsement

The fact that Texas Hayom:

Reports about a person;
Interviews someone;
Publishes someone’s photograph;
Links to an organization;
Covers an event;
Lists a business;
Quotes a public official;
References another publication; or
Discusses a product or service

does not necessarily mean Texas Hayom endorses that person, organization, business, product, event, viewpoint, or service.

Likewise, critical reporting concerning a person or organization should not automatically be interpreted as hostility toward every person affiliated with that organization.

23. No Guarantee of Completeness

No news organization can report every event or issue.

Texas Hayom cannot guarantee that it will report every:

News event;
Jewish community event;
Business;
Kosher restaurant;
Synagogue;
Organization;
Political viewpoint;
Incident;
Public controversy; or
Matter affecting Texas or Jewish communities.

The absence of coverage should not be interpreted as a judgment about the legitimacy, importance, credibility, or value of a person, event, organization, business, or issue.

Editorial decisions regarding coverage remain within the discretion of Texas Hayom.

24. Photographs, Video, and Multimedia

Texas Hayom may publish photographs, video, audio, graphics, maps, illustrations, screenshots, and other multimedia material in connection with its reporting.

Some multimedia may be:

Created by Texas Hayom;
Supplied by contributors;
Provided by government agencies;
Supplied by businesses or organizations;
Licensed from third parties;
Obtained from publicly available sources where legally permitted; or
Used pursuant to applicable copyright law.

Where reasonably appropriate, source or attribution information may accompany such material.

25. Artificial Intelligence and Technology

Texas Hayom may use technology, including artificial-intelligence-assisted tools, for administrative, research, transcription, translation, editing, formatting, data analysis, image processing, or other newsroom-support functions.

Where such tools are used, editorial responsibility for content published under the Texas Hayom name remains with Texas Hayom.

Automated technology should not be interpreted as replacing the editorial responsibility of the organization.

26. Changes to Published Content

Texas Hayom reserves the right to modify published material when appropriate.

Correcting typographical errors;
Correcting factual errors;
Updating developing stories;
Adding additional information;
Changing headlines;
Replacing photographs;
Adding source information;
Clarifying language;
Adding editor’s notes;
Updating links; or
Removing content where legally or editorially appropriate.

An article may therefore differ from an earlier version.

27. Requests for Retraction or Removal

Texas Hayom considers reasonable requests concerning published material.

However, the fact that a person dislikes, disagrees with, is embarrassed by, or considers an article unfavorable does not automatically require removal or retraction.

Texas Hayom may consider factors including:

Accuracy;
Newsworthiness;
Public interest;
Historical value;
Fairness;
Legal obligations;
Subsequent developments; and
Relevant documentation.

Editorial decisions concerning removal or alteration remain with Texas Hayom except where otherwise required by law.

Nevertheless, news reporting necessarily involves information that may develop, change, or be disputed.
