Verification
Material factual claims should be supported by attributable evidence, authoritative records or multiple credible sources where feasible.
Unverified material
Social-media footage, anonymous claims and circulating documents are labelled as unverified until authenticity and context can be established.
News and opinion
Opinion is clearly labelled and does not represent a newsroom finding. Analysis may interpret established facts but should make its reasoning and evidentiary basis clear.
Right of reply
People or institutions facing significant allegations should be given a meaningful opportunity to respond before publication whenever practicable.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected promptly and transparently.
