Accuracy and verification
Check names, dates, figures and primary documents before publication. Attribute claims to their sources and distinguish established facts from allegations.
Fairness and response
Seek a response from people or organisations criticised in a report. Present relevant context and explain when a response was requested but not received.
Corrections
Readers can request a correction through the contact page. A material correction should identify what changed and when. Updating a story should not obscure the original error.
Images and privacy
Captions must describe what an image actually shows. General editorial photography must not be presented as evidence of a specific event. Respect consent, privacy and the interests of children.
Commercial content
Paid placements must be distinguishable from editorial coverage. Commercial arrangements must not determine a reported conclusion.
