Editorial Standards
How we report, what we hold to, and the lines we do not cross.
Every dispatch starts from a document, a dataset or a first-hand account. We report the trip — what it costs, who it admits and where it goes — not the brochure.
Figures carry their source. Where a filing, index or price table exists, we cite it so a reader can check the claim for themselves.
No advertiser, destination or tourism board directs what we cover. We refuse paid travel and hosted trips.
We grant anonymity only when the information is in the public interest and cannot be obtained on the record, and we explain why in the story.
Every reporter's conflicts are disclosed on their profile. Where a conflict is unavoidable, we disclose it in the dispatch.
English is the source edition; other languages mirror the meaning, not the words. Datelines, figures and sources stay identical across every language.
