JTribune’s editorial standards are built around accuracy, independence, fairness, transparency and accountability.
Accuracy and sourcing
Writers are expected to verify factual claims, distinguish confirmed information from allegation or analysis, and attribute material derived from other reporting. Anonymous sourcing should be used only when the information is newsworthy and there is a legitimate reason a source cannot be named.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently from advertising and commercial relationships. Sponsored or affiliate-supported material should be labeled so readers can understand the relationship.
Headlines and images
Headlines, thumbnails and social copy should accurately reflect the substance of the underlying story. Images should be credited when required and should not be manipulated in a way that changes the factual meaning of a news event.
Updates and corrections
Material errors are corrected under our Corrections Policy.
