Editorial policy

newportstories.uk aims to publish fair, clearly labelled and independently judged local journalism. Reporting should distinguish verified facts from claims, comment and analysis.

Sources

Stories should rely on direct observation, public records, documents, named sources or clearly attributed statements wherever possible.

Opinion

Opinion pieces are labelled as opinion and kept separate from straight news reporting.

Conflicts

Any meaningful personal, financial or political conflict should be disclosed to readers when it is relevant to a story.
