Effective date: July 12, 2026
At bronxville.news, we hold ourselves to clear ethical standards and a disciplined fact-checking process. Here is what that means in practice.
How We Behave
The people behind our journalism are expected to follow these principles:
- Honesty and accuracy in all reporting
- Independence from advertisers, sponsors, and political interests
- Fair treatment of the subjects of our coverage
- Respect for privacy where there is no overriding public interest
- No plagiarism, fabrication, or misrepresentation
Fact-Checking Standards
Ahead of publication, we check factual claims against reliable, ideally primary, sources. Important information is confirmed with more than one source where we can, and we always separate verified fact from analysis and opinion.
Conflicts of Interest
We steer clear of situations in which personal, financial, or political interests might undermine — or seem to undermine — our reporting, and we disclose any conflict that cannot be avoided.
Source Protection
We prefer named, on-the-record sources. We grant anonymity only when there is a genuine reason, such as risk to a source, and where the information is in the public interest. We honor commitments made to sources.
Plagiarism and Attribution
Our content is original, and we credit the reporting, data, and ideas we draw from others. Passing off someone else’s work as our own is never acceptable.
