Editorial Standards

Accuracy and attribution

Published information should be supported by identifiable sources, records or direct reporting. Material claims should be attributed, and uncertainty should not be presented as established fact.

Fairness and independence

Coverage should distinguish reporting from comment, provide relevant context and give people or organisations a reasonable opportunity to respond to significant criticism where practical.

Advertising and sponsorship must remain distinguishable from editorial coverage.

Production tools

Automated tools may support research, drafting, production and distribution. Their use does not remove the publication's responsibility to meet these standards or correct inaccurate material.

Corrections

Material errors should be corrected promptly once established. Requests are handled through our corrections and complaints process.
