At The Bandera Review, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalism. Our code of ethics guides our work to ensure accuracy, fairness, and transparency in all reporting. We aim to build trust with our readers by adhering to the following principles:
We strive to provide accurate, truthful, and fair reporting at all times. We verify information through reliable sources before publication and seek to present a balanced view of all stories. We aim to present the facts in a way that allows readers to form their own opinions.
We are committed to maintaining editorial independence and objectivity. Our reporting is not influenced by outside interests or personal biases. We will not let financial, political, or personal interests interfere with our commitment to providing unbiased news coverage.
We will clearly distinguish between news stories and opinion pieces. Articles of opinion will be clearly labeled to avoid confusion, and the views expressed will belong to the author and not represent the views of The Bandera Review or its staff.
We take full responsibility for our work and the information we present to our readers. We acknowledge that mistakes may happen and, when they do, we correct them promptly and transparently. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our reporting by addressing errors in a timely manner.
We respect the privacy and dignity of individuals, especially when reporting on sensitive matters. We will strive to minimize harm and avoid unnecessary intrusion into people's private lives. Our reporting will be considerate and sensitive to the impact it may have on those involved.
We value our readers' perspectives and welcome their feedback. We believe that engagement with the community helps us stay informed and improve our reporting. Readers are encouraged to submit questions, concerns, or comments to editor@thebanderareview.com.
While we accept articles from local politicians and other community members, we will not endorse or oppose their views. Our goal is to provide a platform for diverse opinions and keep the community informed without promoting a specific agenda.
This code of ethics is the foundation of our journalistic practice, and we are dedicated to maintaining these standards in all aspects of our work. We believe that by adhering to these principles, we can foster trust, uphold the public's right to know, and contribute to a more informed and engaged community.
