Editorial standards

1. Accuracy and context

We take care to represent each contributor’s account faithfully and to distinguish what a person told us from information independently established elsewhere.

2. Sensitivity

• No child abuse, child endangerment or violence against children as a hook or plot device.
• We handle sensitive details with care and avoid adding unsupported claims.
• We do not present a contributor’s account as independently verified when it has not been.
• We respect the privacy of the people featured in our stories.

3. Corrections

If you believe a story contains an error or misrepresents an account, tell us via the contact page. We will review the concern and correct material errors.
