Our Standards
STT News is committed to accurate, fair, and independent journalism. These standards guide everything we publish.
Accuracy
We verify facts before publishing. When we make an error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted on the original article.
Fairness
We seek comment from all parties in a story before publishing. When subjects decline to comment or do not respond, we note that in the story.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, government officials, or any outside interests. We accept no government advertising to maintain complete editorial independence.
Sourcing
We attribute information to its source whenever possible. We use anonymous sources only when the information is critical to the public interest and the source faces genuine risk of retaliation.
Transparency
Some of our reporting is assisted by technology tools that help us monitor public records, government releases, and community sources. All content is reviewed and edited by our editorial team before publication. We clearly label opinion and editorial content separately from news reporting.
Corrections
If you spot an error in our reporting, please contact us immediately. We take corrections seriously and will address them promptly.
These standards are reviewed and updated as needed by the Editor-in-Chief.
