How a story moves
Tip first. Checks before publication.
A reporter assesses the lead, seeks documents and sources, then puts relevant claims to the people involved before an editor reviews the story.

Our newsroom standards
Editorial standards and independence
Accuracy comes before speed. We correct the record when we get something wrong.
Check key facts against reliable sources.
Give people a fair right of reply.
Label opinion and distinguish it from reporting.
Protect editorial decisions from advertiser influence.
Corrections and complaints
Tell us what is inaccurate, where it appears and what evidence supports your concern. An editor will review the matter and respond by email.
Contact an editor
Fair hearing
Relevant parties can respond before publication.
Clear separation
Advertising is not editorial coverage.
We own our mistakes
Corrections stay visible
When a published story needs a material correction, we update the article and make the change clear to readers.
