At The Beacon Post, our mission is to uphold the highest standards of journalism and public trust. Our Code of Ethics serves as a guiding framework for our editorial practices, ensuring that our work remains accurate, fair, independent, and transparent.
We are committed to verifying information before publication and strive to present all facts as clearly and completely as possible. Corrections are made promptly and transparently when errors are identified. We take responsibility for the accuracy of everything we publish.
The Beacon Post operates independently of political, commercial, or ideological influence. Editorial decisions are made without undue pressure from advertisers, stakeholders, or external interests. Our editorial team does not accept gifts, favors, or any form of compensation that could compromise their impartiality.
We strive to present all relevant sides of a story. Voices of those affected by events, policies, or actions are sought and respected. When publishing critical or controversial information, we provide context and allow space for responses.
We respect the privacy and dignity of individuals. Private information will not be published unless there is a compelling public interest. We avoid sensationalism and exploitation of grief or distress.
Where possible, we attribute sources and avoid the use of anonymous quotes unless there is a strong journalistic justification. We protect the confidentiality of sources when disclosure may put them at risk.
Our writers and editors must disclose any personal or financial conflicts of interest. Any potential conflict that could impact the credibility of our work must be managed transparently or avoided entirely.
Advertising content is clearly distinguished from editorial content. Advertisers do not influence our reporting or editorial direction. Sponsored or branded content will always be clearly labeled.
While we may use AI tools for editorial assistance or research, all final reporting, fact-checking, and publishing decisions are made by human editors. We are committed to transparency about the role of automation in our workflows.
We seek to represent diverse perspectives and communities in our journalism. Our newsroom values inclusivity and aims to challenge stereotypes and systemic bias wherever it exists.
We welcome feedback from readers and encourage the public to alert us to any errors or concerns. Corrections and clarifications will be issued clearly and promptly when warranted.
