My ethical standards are not complicated.

I am truthful. I strive to stay fully informed about the topics I cover. I am faithful to our readers, delivering news and analysis on the vital topics of the day. I develop and maintain solid sources for my reporting. If sources are misleading, deceptive or opaque, I write that. If evidence offers convincing data that contradicts what sources are saying or claiming, I write that.

I rarely cover breaking news. My focus is instead on conducting in-depth interviews and providing data/information that breaks down complicated stories in a matter that my audience will understand, whether or not they were previously aware of the issue before reading about it.

Ultimately, it is my objective to report in a manner that readers can be confident that all aspects of a topic have been considered, have been comprehensively reported, and the subjects of stories are treated and represented fairly.
