Editorial Standards

Accuracy

Rhode Island Harbor strives for accuracy in every report. When we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently, as described on our Corrections page.

Independence

Our newsroom operates independently of advertisers, political parties and government agencies. Advertising and sponsored content, where present, is clearly labeled and separated from editorial coverage.

Sourcing

We attribute information to named sources wherever possible and avoid unsupported or sensational claims, particularly in coverage of public policy, business and consumer issues.

Fairness

We seek comment from all relevant parties in stories involving disputes, allegations or competing interests, and we distinguish clearly between news reporting and opinion content.
