Editorial Standards

Accuracy, fairness and independence are the foundations of Bushletter's journalism. These standards apply to every piece of content we publish.

Accuracy and verification

Facts are traced to primary sources: official documents, court records, regulator statements, company filings, transcripts and data releases. Quotes are checked verbatim against the record before publication; where a quote cannot be verified, it is converted to reported speech or cut. Numbers are cited to the body that produced them. Claims that have been individually verified are marked in the article with a verification badge showing the source of the check.

Sourcing

Every article carries a source list. We link to the primary source rather than another outlet's retelling wherever one exists. Wire and broadcast reporting may guide what we look at, but it is not the basis for a claim of fact.

Independence

Bushletter is independently owned. Advertisers, sponsors and rankings subjects have no influence over editorial decisions, and inclusion in any Bushletter ranking cannot be bought.

News, analysis and opinion

News reports what happened. Opinion and feature essays argue a view and are labelled as such. Market and finance coverage that could touch investment decisions carries a general-advice disclaimer and is never personal financial advice.

How we produce our journalism

Bushletter uses modern editorial technology, including AI-assisted research and production tools, under editorial direction and review. The standards above are enforced regardless of how a draft is produced: facts verified against primary sources, quotes checked against the record, and a human decision before anything is published.

Corrections

When we get something wrong we fix it quickly and visibly, under our corrections policy. Requests reach us via the contact page or [email protected].
