.. you will become involved in a community based on four core principles for advancing quality information

Accuracy

Accuracy always comes first and covers data, people, places and events. A story must provide proper and accurate context, quoting, data, identities and facts.
A true story with factual errors loses its credibility.

Independence

Transparency is king: readers should always know about a possible conflict of interest and you should refrain from posting when such a conflict arises.
Disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Impartiality

You must always avoid taking side and partisanship. Each story should be told as fully as possible: Reality is often more nuanced than just black and white.
Avoid biases and make a well rounded story.

Legality

You must respect the right to personal privacy and the rules for the protection of minors. Always protect your sources according to the law.
Respect the right to personal privacy and fundamental liberties.
