Accuracy before speed
We check names, figures, dates and context, and rely on sources audiences can evaluate. In developing stories, we distinguish what is known from what remains unconfirmed.
Verification
We look for original sourcing or independent confirmation and clearly separate fact, opinion and analysis.
Fairness
Relevant parties receive a reasonable opportunity to respond, and headlines must not mislead or remove essential context.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly and clearly, with an update note when the meaning of a story changes.
Transparency and intelligent tools
Conflicts of interest and sponsored work are disclosed. AI tools may assist our work, but editorial responsibility, verification and final approval remain human.
