- We write what we believe to be true. If we get something wrong, we correct it.
- We take personal responsibility for the accuracy of our stories.
- We allow opinion, but we seek to be fair.
- We know people appreciate candour so we try to be straightforward.
- We will not publish ad hominem attacks but we allow criticism where we believe it is justified.
- We understand some people require the protection of anonymity. We prefer transparency but allow anonymity where it is justified.
- We never knowingly publish false names. If a pseudonym is used, you will be advised.
- We believe passion is important and partisanship is inevitable. While not embarrassed to admit to either, we commit to truth-telling at all times.
- The editorial team’s decisions are final but we always do the best we can to be fair.
- As writers and publishers, more important to us than anything is our integrity.
