Ethics
We adhere to a set of journalistic principles to ensure fairness, transparency, and accuracy.
- Fairness. We give people, companies, or organizations that are publicly accused or criticized a chance to respond before we publish those criticisms or accusations. We make a genuine and reasonable effort to contact them, and if they decline to comment, we say so.
- Accuracy. Our reporting is fact-based, non-partisan, and accurate. When we make a mistake, whether in fact or in context, we correct it promptly and in a transparent manner, acknowledging the nature of the error.
- Transparency. We’re clear with readers about our funding and revenue sources. We clearly label advertising and sponsored content. Readers can easily find out who we are and how to get in touch with us.
We are further guided by the ethics guidelines published by the Canadian Association of Journalists.
