We go after a story until we are satisfied we have all the details. We believe in good and bad, right and wrong, and we bring that to our publications.
FOUR – INDEPENDENCE
We fiercely guard our independence against all undue influence and external pressure. We are the press. We cannot be bought, sold or traded.

We own our work and face criticism head on. We are accountable for what we do, and how we do it. We owe that to our readers. We will deliver.
SIX – TRUTHFULNESS
Truth is the cornerstone of journalism. We will expose the truth no matter how ugly it is.
SEVEN – ACCURACY
Accuracy is an important part of truth, but it is much more. We will be accurate in our reporting at all times. Every detail counts.
EIGHT – CREDIBILITY
Credibility is key to our business. We hang our hat on our work. We can be relied upon. Credibility is something that must be earned.

Fairness is more than just two sides of an argument. Fairness is all sides and all perspectives. We remain open to investigate any position or view.

We publish in the public interest and for no other reason. We are loyal to the truth.
