We believe in always giving credit where it’s due. We ensure that all sources are properly attributed, and if we paraphrase any material, we are careful not to distort the meaning or context. Direct quotes are used whenever possible to preserve the original message.
6. Right to Respond
Whenever we cover individuals, companies, or organizations, we make an effort to reach out to them for comment, particularly when addressing critical issues, questions, or allegations. This ensures that all sides of a story are fairly represented.
