Publishing Principles

Accuracy

Every story is verified with at least two sources; unverified information is attributed and clearly labelled as a claim.

Independence

Editorial decisions are free from the influence of advertisers, political parties and interest groups. Sponsored content is clearly labelled.

Accountability

We correct our mistakes and mark corrections visibly on the story. Correction requests go to —.

Personal rights

We respect the presumption of innocence, protect the identity of children and do not publish private information without public interest.
