We recognize that journalism is shaped by human judgment. To minimize bias and conflicts:
- Independence — No advertiser, sponsor, or donor influences editorial decisions.
- Conflict disclosure — When conflicts exist, we disclose them prominently.
- No anonymous authorship — Every story carries a byline linked to a verifiable profile.
- Respect for subjects — We distinguish between public figures (subject to scrutiny) and private individuals (who retain privacy protections).
- Corrections — When we err, we correct quickly, visibly, and permanently.
Accountability is not negotiable.
