editorial policy
Content decision framework
Editorial policy is the set of principles and standards guiding what a publication will publish, how content is selected, and what positions it takes.
It covers everything from political stance to fact-checking standards to advertising boundaries: The newspaper's editorial policy forbids endorsing candidates.
Distinct from individual editorial decisions, it's the framework those decisions operate within.
