Nothing carries our name until it carries a source.

Every factual claim is traced to a source we can name or a record we can point to. If it can't be sourced, it doesn't run — not in our titles, and not in a client release that carries our dateline.

A client announcement is held to the same standard as a story our own reporters file. We don't soften the check because someone is paying for distribution — that's precisely what makes the distribution worth buying.

Reporting carries a place, a date and a byline. Editors trust copy they can attribute and quote; anonymous, undated text reads as marketing and gets treated as such.

Commercial relationships never decide what's true. Advisory and distribution work is kept distinct from the editorial judgment of what's reportable and how it's framed.

When we get something wrong, we fix it visibly and note what changed. A correction is not an embarrassment to hide; it's the receipt that proves the rest can be trusted.
