Editorial standards

Transparent standards separating fact from commentary

Factual news is reported and sourced separately from signed commentary. Opinion pieces are labeled as opinion so readers can tell at a glance when a writer is offering a perspective rather than reporting events. Our editors review sourcing before publication, and we state clearly where a claim rests on a single account.

Editorial independence guides every dispatch we publish. When an error is found, we correct it openly and note the change on the piece. Readers who spot a mistake, or who have a story tip, can reach the editorial desk through our contact page.
