Editorial Policy
Jewish Dispatch is committed to publishing accurate, fair, independent, and responsible journalism. This Editorial Policy outlines the principles, standards, and practices that guide our editorial decisions and help ensure that our readers can have confidence in the content we publish.
Editorial Independence
Jewish Dispatch maintains editorial independence from governments, political parties, advertisers, sponsors, and other external interests. Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team based upon newsworthiness, public interest, accuracy, and relevance to our readership. Commercial relationships, advertising arrangements, sponsored content, and press release submissions do not influence our news reporting or editorial coverage.
Accuracy and Verification
We strive to ensure that all factual reporting is accurate and based upon reliable sources. Journalists, contributors, and editors are expected to verify information before publication and to distinguish clearly between established facts, allegations, opinions, and speculation. Where information cannot be independently verified, we will endeavour to make this clear to readers.
Fairness and Balance
We seek to present information fairly and responsibly. Where appropriate, individuals and organisations who are the subject of criticism, allegations, or significant claims may be given an opportunity to respond before publication. We recognise that complete neutrality is not always possible, particularly in opinion and commentary content, but we expect all contributors to adhere to standards of honesty and fairness.
News, Opinion, and Sponsored Content
Jewish Dispatch publishes a variety of content types, including news articles, analysis, features, opinion pieces, sponsored articles, and press releases. We aim to clearly distinguish between these content categories so that readers can understand the nature and purpose of the material they are reading. Sponsored Articles and Press Releases are clearly identified and do not constitute editorial endorsements.
Sources and Attribution
We encourage the use of credible and identifiable sources whenever possible. Anonymous sources may be used where there is a legitimate public interest and where disclosure of identity could expose a source to harm or significant disadvantage. The use of anonymous sources is subject to editorial review and approval.
Corrections and Transparency
When errors are identified, we are committed to correcting them promptly and transparently. Readers who believe content contains a factual error are encouraged to contact us in accordance with our Corrections Policy. Significant corrections may be accompanied by an explanatory note where appropriate.
User-Generated Content
Comments, submissions, letters, and other user-generated content reflect the views of their respective authors and do not necessarily represent the views of Jewish Dispatch. We reserve the right to moderate, edit, refuse, or remove user-generated content that breaches our policies, applicable laws, or community standards.
Legal and Ethical Standards
All contributors, journalists, editors, and publishers are expected to comply with applicable laws and recognised standards of ethical journalism. We do not knowingly publish defamatory, unlawful, misleading, or plagiarised material and reserve the right to remove or amend content where concerns arise.
Editorial Discretion
Jewish Dispatch retains sole editorial discretion regarding the publication, amendment, correction, promotion, suspension, or removal of any content appearing on our websites and platforms.
