Our stories are accurate.
Development news must be accurate, fair, and clear if readers are to trust it. To build trust, WWY’s team will:
- Check facts; correct errors transparently and swiftly; and learn from mistakes so that they aren’t repeated. If you find an error, email mail@.
- Never plagiarize and never deliberately distort facts or context, including visual information. (Plagiarism and deliberate distortion are grounds for discipline, including termination.)
- Identify the sources of their reporting, whether the information comes from people, documents, or exclusive reporting that appeared elsewhere.
- Seek independent verification from multiple sources to confirm (or contradict) claims, especially those made by public officials or anyone with an agenda beyond merely reporting the truth.
- Work to the best of their ability to assess evidence and claims without bias, always examining ways in which personal experiences and values may shape our reporting.
- Provide context that readers need to make sense of the facts.
- Acknowledge areas of uncertainty, which will always exist despite our best efforts to resolve them.
