Every investigative claim we publish is grounded in documents, official records or first-hand accounts, and wherever possible we publish the underlying evidence alongside the story so readers can judge it for themselves.
The people and institutions we report on are given a fair opportunity to respond before publication, and their responses are reflected in the piece. We distinguish clearly between what the record establishes and what remains an open question.
When we get something wrong, we correct it visibly and note what changed. We do not quietly edit the record.
