Editorial Values

The principles that guide our newsroom

Our editorial standards are among the most rigorous in the industry. Every story published on westwoodtimes.com has been reported, verified, and edited by trained journalists who hold themselves to a clear set of principles.

Accuracy First

We do not publish information we cannot independently verify. When we are wrong, we correct the record promptly and transparently.

Independence

Our journalism is free from commercial influence. Advertisers have no say in our editorial coverage — full stop.

Accountability

We hold the powerful accountable regardless of political affiliation, nationality, or institutional relationship.

Fairness

We seek comment from all parties before publishing and represent multiple perspectives on complex issues.

Transparency

We tell readers how we know what we know, clearly label opinion and analysis, and disclose potential conflicts of interest.

Courage

We publish stories that matter even when they are uncomfortable, controversial, or politically inconvenient.

Leadership

The Westwood Times' editorial leadership brings together decades of experience across broadcast, digital, and investigative journalism.
