BroadNews
Code of practice
The rules to which every BroadNews edition is published.
1. Accuracy
Every story rests on published reporting. Reports name their sources at the foot of the text; a claim that could not be verified is attributed to the person or body that made it.
2. Order of the paper
BroadNews reports every subject and region. Page one carries the stories reported most widely; each section is then laid out day by day, the most important first.
3. Opinion
The news pages carry no opinion. Where a matter is disputed, the paper says who holds which view.
4. Signatures
Reports carry the name of their author and are read and approved by the editor before publication. The brief entries of the daily record are unsigned.
5. Payment
No story is published, moved or withheld in return for payment, advertising or favours, and press releases are not printed as news.
6. Corrections
Errors are corrected promptly, and a corrected report states the date of its correction.
