Staff members are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. We avoid situations that could compromise our impartiality or appear to do so.
Transparency
Sources
Whenever possible, we identify the sources of information in our reports. We are committed to protecting the confidentiality of sources who wish to remain anonymous but have vital information.
Funding
We clearly disclose any funding sources for our content. Our audience deserves to know if any external parties have financed specific projects or investigations.
