Accuracy First
Every published fact is checked against a primary source before it runs. We would rather be slow than wrong.
Fairness
Subjects of critical coverage are given the opportunity to respond before publication. Their response, or their declining to respond, is reflected in the story.
Clarity Over Jargon
We write for an informed general reader, not a specialist audience — technical and financial terms are explained in plain language.
Attribution
We name our sources wherever possible. Anonymous sourcing is used sparingly and only when a source faces genuine risk in being identified.
Separation of News and Opinion
Opinion and analysis pieces are clearly labelled and kept editorially distinct from straight news reporting.
