Editorial Standards

Our standards

Follow the money. Explain the economics. Report what the evidence supports.

Accuracy and sourcing

We verify material facts before publication, use primary documents wherever possible and link to relevant sources. We provide context and make significant uncertainties clear.

Fact, analysis, and opinion

We distinguish reporting from analysis and opinion. Allegations are identified as allegations, findings as findings, with the current status of relevant legal or regulatory proceedings.

Independence

Our editorial judgments are independent of advertisers and sponsors. We label paid content and disclose material sponsorships and conflicts of interest.

Corrections

We correct material factual errors and explain substantive corrections in the affected story. Report an error to hello@thedarkanchor.com with the story link and supporting information.
