Alongside our original journalism, we report on major national and international developments using official information, identifiable sources and relevant background material.

Our Editorial Principles

Truth Times is guided by the following principles:

Accuracy and Verification

We seek to verify information using reliable and, where possible, primary sources. Facts, quotations and significant claims are checked before publication.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial decisions are guided by journalistic judgement, factual evidence and the public interest, rather than political, commercial or external influence.

Originality and Public Interest

We value original journalism, exclusive interviews and independently sourced reporting that contributes meaningful information and new perspectives to public understanding.

Clarity Over Clickbait

Headlines are written to accurately represent the content of the article. We aim to inform readers rather than deliberately mislead, exaggerate or sensationalise.

Context Matters

We provide relevant background and context to help readers understand developing stories and significant events.

Clear Distinction Between Fact and Opinion

News reporting, analysis, commentary and opinion are distinguished appropriately. Opinions and allegations are not presented as established facts.

Accountability

When we identify a material factual error, we seek to correct it promptly and transparently.

Responsible Sourcing

Where appropriate, we identify the sources of facts, quotations, documents, official statements and other information used in our reporting.

Confidential sources may be protected where legitimate journalistic considerations justify anonymity.

Corrections

Truth Times is committed to correcting material factual errors when they are identified.

Readers who believe an article contains an error are encouraged to contact our editorial team with the relevant details.

Corrections are reviewed by the editorial team and, where appropriate, reflected directly in the relevant article.

Further information about our corrections procedures is available in our Corrections Policy.
