Financial Investor 24 is committed to accurate, fair and responsible business journalism. This policy sets out the principles and standards that guide what we publish, including how we handle contributed and paid-for content.
1) Accuracy and Integrity
- We strive to ensure all information we publish is factually accurate, verified and up to date.
- Sources are evaluated for reliability and, where possible, we seek more than one confirmation.
- Errors, when identified, are corrected promptly and transparently.
2) Independence and Impartiality
- Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial, political or personal interests.
- Sponsored and contributed content is clearly labelled to distinguish it from our own editorial content.
- We aim to provide balanced coverage that gives voice to a range of perspectives.
3) Transparency and Accountability
- Articles carry a byline to show authorship and accountability.
- When an article is updated or corrected, we add a note to inform readers.
- We welcome feedback, clarifications and corrections from readers through our Contact page.
4) Ethics and Responsibility
- We report with respect, fairness and without discrimination.
- Sensitive topics are handled with care to avoid harm while respecting the public’s right to know.
- We do not knowingly publish false or misleading information.
5) Editorial Independence from Advertising
- Our editorial team works separately from our advertising and commercial activity.
- Editorial content is not influenced by advertisers, sponsors or partners.
- Any conflict of interest is disclosed openly.
6) Plagiarism and Originality
- All published work must be original or properly attributed to its source.
- We do not tolerate plagiarism and use editorial checks to prevent it.
7) Diversity and Inclusivity
- We are committed to inclusive reporting that reflects the business community we serve.
- We seek to highlight voices from different backgrounds, sectors and regions.
8) Privacy and Sensitivity
- We respect the privacy of individuals unless disclosure is clearly in the public interest.
- We avoid unnecessary intrusion into personal grief or distress.
- We comply with applicable laws on privacy and data protection.
9) Corrections Policy
- Readers may report errors through our Contact page.
- Significant factual corrections are made in the original article with a clear note of correction.
- Minor changes, such as typographical errors, may be corrected without formal notice.
10) Contributed and Paid-for Content
- Financial Investor 24 publishes articles from our own editorial team and from third-party contributors. Articles marked “Contributed content” are written by a third party, who may have paid a placement fee for publication. They are published because our editors judged them relevant and useful to readers; they do not necessarily reflect the views of Financial Investor 24.
- What we check. Every contributed article is checked before publication for originality (plagiarism screening), accuracy of stated facts and figures, suitability for our readers and compliance with our content rules. Links included by contributors are reviewed for relevance and safety and are re-checked after publication.
- What we do not accept. Content promoting pharmaceuticals, adult services, weapons, payday loans, essay writing services or schemes promising guaranteed returns; content that is misleading, defamatory or infringes copyright; and any topic outside the site’s editorial scope.
- Advertising. Placement fees do not buy editorial endorsement. Our editorial team keeps the right to edit, decline or remove any contributed article. If you believe a contributed article is inaccurate or breaches this policy, please tell us through our Contact page.
