Code of Conduct

We take our responsibility very seriously and as such we adhere to a strict code of conduct.  We are in a challenging position because we are trying to keep the community informed in real time without undermining the authorities. Our reporters, are very strict about confirming sources and have rigorous guidelines about what we publish and more importantly, what we don’t.

We rely on many modern technologies to deliver factual information to the public as fast as possible without sacrificing quality.  Our reporters use an internal messaging system to discuss the situation in real-time before we post anything publicly.  It is of the utmost importance that we keep the trust of the community but also that of the authorities.
