At Charity Journal, we strive for the utmost accuracy, objectivity, and fairness in reporting on charities, non-profits, and acts of good. These standards guide every story we publish.
Accuracy and Verification
We verify and double-check all information before publication. Our journalists are required to support all facts, figures, and claims with credible sources from public records or independently confirmed data. Our journalists understand that their reporting can affect individual and non-profit reputations, and they adhere strictly to journalism ethics.
AccountabilityÂ
All factual errors in published articles will be corrected promptly upon discovery. All corrections will be disclosed in a note at the end of the article. In rare cases where the central idea requires a correction, we will place a disclosure at the top of the article and share the amendments across our social media channels.
Transparency
We disclose how information is obtained and clearly identify our sources on all stories unless anonymity is required for safety. However, we are careful not to rely entirely on anonymous sources in our reporting, opting for corroboration from another source with firsthand knowledge of the information.
Fairness and Balance
All sides are represented fairly. Non-profits and individuals mentioned in critical reporting are given a right of reply. We understand that there are two sides to any story, and Charity Journal will remain diligent in seeking a broad spectrum of perspectives.
Ethical Treatment of Subjects
We protect the dignity of individuals featured in all our reporting. Our journalists are required to obtain informed consent for interviews and features, especially for vulnerable groups. In situations where disclosure can cause harm, identities are protected while avoiding exploitative imagery.
Impact-Focused Reporting
At Charity Journal, our work prioritizes measurable outcomes and real-world impact. We highlight beneficiaries, community results, and data-driven insights while steering away from promotional storytelling.
