Accuracy before speed
We verify names, dates, data, quotes, translations, and material claims before publication. Where uncertainty remains, we say so clearly.
04 / Principles
Trust is the method.
These principles guide our reporting, production, editing, and relationships with contributors, clients, and audiences.
Our Commitment
We pursue the truth with independence, humility, and care. Public interest guides our choices; accuracy gives them weight.
Independence
Editorial conclusions are not shaped by sponsors, commissioners, political interests, or access. Any material relationship relevant to a story is disclosed.
Informed participation
Contributors receive a clear explanation of the project, its intended audience, and foreseeable risks. Consent is treated as an ongoing conversation.
Minimise harm
We weigh public interest against potential harm, particularly when working with children, survivors, marginalised groups, and people in insecure situations.
Context and fairness
People and organisations facing significant criticism are given a meaningful opportunity to respond. Editing must preserve the substance and context of what was said.
Transparency and correction
We distinguish reporting from opinion, label reenactments or reconstructed material, and correct substantive errors promptly and visibly.
Responsible imagery
Images, sound, archives, and AI-assisted material must not mislead audiences about what happened. Manipulation that changes factual meaning is not acceptable.
Guided by these principles.
