Editorial Standards
Accuracy only works if someone is actually checking. Here’s how we source stories and what happens when we get something wrong.
What “On the Record” Means Here
Every quote attributed to a named source has been confirmed directly with that source by the reporter, without relying on a press release alone. Priya Suresh, our head of standards, reviews sourcing on every story before it runs — you can read about how that role started in our company story.
Opinion columns are labeled clearly and never appear in section listing pages next to straight news without that label — see our Opinion desk for the distinction.
Why We Log Corrections Publicly
A quiet edit can’t tell a reader what changed or why. Every correction below stays visible for as long as the story itself is online, with a note on what was wrong and what replaced it.
It also means readers can hold us accountable for patterns, not just single mistakes — if the same kind of error shows up twice, that’s a process problem worth fixing, not a coincidence.

Beyond Sourcing
- Every reporter completes standards training before their first byline runs.
- Anonymous sourcing requires sign-off from an editor, not just the reporter.
- Wire-service pickups are re-verified by our own desk before republication.
- Readers can flag a suspected error directly through our contact page.
