Independence

Editorial decisions are made without approval from advertisers, partners, or ownership interests beyond the publisher. Commercial agreements do not determine coverage.

Transparency

We disclose relationships that could affect perception of a story. When a writer has a personal or financial connection to the subject, it is noted.

Conflicts of interest

Staff and contributors must disclose potential conflicts before assignment. If a conflict is significant, the assignment is reassigned or declined.

Accountability

Readers can raise ethics concerns at thedailyhugle@outlook.com. Concerns are reviewed by editorial leadership, and outcomes are communicated when appropriate.
