Editorial Standards
The newsroom standard is accuracy, clarity and independence. These rules apply to reporting, analysis, opinion and data presentation.
Accuracy policy
Names, dates, figures and quotations are checked before publication. Material claims should be supported by primary documents or clearly identified, reputable sources. Unverified claims are not presented as fact.
Corrections policy
Material errors are corrected promptly and transparently. A correction note states what changed, when it changed and why. Minor spelling or formatting fixes do not alter the record.
Sourcing standards
Primary sources—regulatory filings, official releases, public data and direct interviews—take priority. Anonymous sourcing is reserved for information that serves the public interest and cannot reasonably be obtained on the record.
News, analysis and opinion
Each format is labeled. News reports facts and attributed context. Analysis interprets evidence and explains mechanisms. Opinion reflects the named author’s judgment and is kept separate from reported news.
Conflicts and commercial independence
Advertisers do not review or approve editorial coverage. Sponsored material, if introduced, will be clearly labeled and visually distinct from newsroom work.
