ETHICS & STANDARDS POLICY

---

The Mitchell Report adheres to strict editorial and ethical standards to preserve independence, integrity, and public trust.

Independence
We do not accept payment, gifts, or incentives in exchange for coverage. Opinions expressed in commentary are based solely on the writer’s analysis and judgment.

Accuracy
We verify factual claims before publication and avoid speculation, rumor, or unverified assertions.

Fairness
We present issues with clarity and intellectual honesty, and we avoid misleading framing, selective quotations, or distortions.

Transparency
If a story involves a potential conflict of interest, we disclose it. If an article includes opinion or analysis (rather than straight reporting), it is clearly labeled.

Accountability
If we make a mistake, we correct it. If we fall short of our standards, we acknowledge it publicly.
