This is a draft of the editorial policy. The final policy will be published after review and approval by the editorial leadership.
Accuracy and fact-checking
Before publication, the facts in every story are checked against at least one reliable source. Where information is unconfirmed, we say so clearly.
Fairness
In stories involving a dispute, every party concerned is given the opportunity to state its position.
Sources and confidentiality
A source's identity is kept confidential only where their safety is at stake and an editor approves it.
Separating advertising from editorial content
Sponsored or advertising content is clearly labelled and does not influence editorial decisions.
