Editorial policy

We publish public-interest journalism for citizens. Accuracy, fairness and clarity come before speed or virality.

We prefer named sources and primary documents. Anonymous sourcing is used only when necessary and with editorial oversight. Wire or agency material is rewritten and labelled where relevant.

News, Stories, Research and Opinion are separate channels. Opinion and analysis are marked so readers can tell advocacy or argument from straight reporting.

Homepage and section rails keep Opinion and Stories distinct from News. We do not pad empty opinion rails with wire copy.
