Editorial Mission Statement
Policies and Standards Ethics policy These policies govern the behaviour and/or the conducts of our journalists and guide Techeconomy activities as we deliver news and information in a rapidly changing media environment. We consider these principles to be a “living document” that we will continually modify and update based on feedback from our journalists, from our communities (readers) and from our perceptions of our changing needs. Because the circumstances under which information is obtained and reported vary widely from one case to the next, these guidelines should not be understood as establishing hard and fast rules or as covering every situation that might arise.
Conflict of interest
Techeconomy is pledged to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict of interest wherever and whenever possible. We have adopted stringent policies on these issues, conscious that they may be more restrictive than is customary in the world of private business.
In particular:
We neither seek nor accept preferential treatment that might be rendered because of the positions we hold; becloud our judgment of issues or objectivity and fairness.
A reporter or editor also cannot accept payment from any person, company or organization that he or she covers.
Conflict of interest
It is important that no freelance assignments and no honoraria be accepted that might in any way be interpreted as disguised gratuities. We make every reasonable effort to be free of obligation to news sources and to special interests. We must be wary of entanglement with those whose positions render them likely to be subjects of journalistic interest and examination. Our private behavior as well as our professional behavior must not bring discredit to Techeconomy or to our profession.We avoid active involvement in any partisan causes — politics, community affairs, social action, demonstrations — that could compromise or seem to compromise our ability to report and edit fairly.
Fairness
Reporters and editors of Techeconomy are committed to fairness. While arguments about objectivity are endless, the concept of fairness is something that editors and reporters can easily understand and pursue. Fairness results from a few simple practices: No story is fair if it omits facts of major importance or significance. Fairness includes completeness.No story is fair if it includes essentially irrelevant information at the expense of significant facts. Fairness includes relevance.
No story is fair if it consciously or unconsciously misleads or even deceives the reader. Fairness includes honesty — leveling with the reader.
No story is fair if it covers individuals or organizations that have not been given the opportunity to address assertions or claims about them made by others. Fairness includes diligently seeking comment and taking that comment genuinely into account. Read More
