When you make a
new product every 24 hours, you are bound to make a few mistakes along the way.
At “The Post” we will always strive to produce a newspaper that is accurate,
fair and balanced. I’d like to share with you the principles of our policy upon
which we stand.
First, balance
and fairness. There is more than one side to every story out there. We will
make every attempt to present a balanced and comprehensive view of every story
that we report and we will put it in its proper context.
Second, accuracy.
We will make every attempt to verify the accuracy of facts reported. Deadlines
and uncooperative source sometimes make it difficult, but our aim is to get
every fact right and all the right facts.
Third,
corrections and clarifications. When we make an error, we aim to fix it,
without hesitation or excuse.
Fourth, using
anonymous sources. We will not use anonymous sources in local reporting unless
the information is absolutely unavailable in any other way.
Fifth,
advertising. We believe in the honesty and reputation of our advertising
clients. We will not, knowingly, publish advertisement for a product or service
that is illegal or fraudulent.
That is what we
stand for at “The Post”. You might have question about these policies or you
might want to talk to us when you think that we have failed to live up to these
principles. I’m Humaira Shahid, Editor of “The Post” and I will be happy to talk
with you.
