Editorial Policy / Code of Ethics

The standards that govern how our journalists report, verify and publish.

Independence

Our editorial team operates independently of commercial and political interests. Advertising and sponsored content are always clearly labelled.

Accuracy

We verify information with at least two independent sources where practicable. Corrections are issued promptly and displayed transparently.

Fairness

We give subjects of critical coverage a genuine opportunity to respond before publication.

Sources

We protect confidential sources rigorously and use anonymous sourcing sparingly and only where the public interest requires it.

Conflicts of interest

Journalists declare and recuse themselves from stories where a personal or financial conflict may exist.

Corrections

Errors are corrected on the affected article with a clear correction notice and the date of the correction.
