Ethics

Editorial charter

Global South Watch is committed to the highest ethical standards in journalism. This charter guides every publication from our newsroom.

Independence

Our content is produced with full independence. Advertisers, institutional partners, and shareholders never influence topic selection, editorial angle, or the line of an article.

Accuracy and verification

Every published fact is rigorously verified. Sources are cross-checked and figures are validated. When a proven error occurs, a visible correction is published as soon as possible.

Pluralism and fairness

We give voice to all stakeholders on a subject and strive to represent the diversity of legitimate opinions. Our investigations respect the right of reply and the presumption of innocence.

Source protection

Source confidentiality is a non-negotiable principle. We never disclose the identity of a protected source without their explicit consent.

Reporting

To report an error, inappropriate content, or a violation of this charter, contact our ombudsman at deontologie@globalsouthwatch.com.
