About Us

Commitment to Ethical Journalism

San Diego Post is committed to accurate, independent, ethical, and responsible journalism. We report fairly, attribute sources clearly, and correct mistakes transparently. Our editorial policies uphold these values to ensure trust with our audience.

Editorial Independence & Integrity

All San Diego Post journalists must identify themselves clearly and never use deception to obtain information. They cannot accept remuneration of any kind in exchange for coverage and must disclose any conflicts of interest related to financial holdings or affiliations.

Reporters must remain independent from political activities—they may vote but must not campaign, donate to, or fundraise for political candidates or causes. Opinion writers are expected to be transparent about financial conflicts of interest.

Our newsroom operates with full editorial independence from company management, ensuring unbiased reporting in service of our audience.

Fact-Checking & Sourcing

San Diego Post journalists are responsible for verifying all facts before publication. This includes checking names, dates, statistics, and claims. Superlatives (e.g., “first,” “worst,” “only”) must be validated.

Sources must be clearly identified whenever possible. Anonymous sources are only permitted in rare cases where editors determine that public interest outweighs risks and disclosure could endanger the source. Only credible third-party sources should be cited, and reliance on anonymous sources by other publications requires editorial approval.

San Diego Post does not pay sources for information.

Fairness & Balance

• Right of Reply: Any party subject to allegations must be given a chance to respond.
• Context Matters: We provide relevant background to avoid misleading interpretations.
• Clarity & Objectivity: Reporters should clearly state what is known, what is uncertain, and what is open to debate.
• No Editorializing: News articles should remain fact-based and avoid inserting personal opinions.
• Race & Ethnicity: These identifiers are included only when directly relevant to the story.

Corrections Policy

San Diego Post corrects factual errors promptly and transparently. Any corrected stories will be labeled as such.

If an article is so flawed it cannot be corrected, it will be formally retracted, not unpublished or hidden. We do not remove articles that were accurate at the time of publication but will update them with clear notes if needed.

Plagiarism & Fabrication

San Diego Post has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism or fabrication. Any violation may result in immediate termination.

• Fabricating sources, events, or information is prohibited.
• Writers must produce original content—modifying another publication’s wording or structure is unacceptable.
• If a fact cannot be independently verified, it must be attributed to the original publication.
• Reusing content from past San Diego Post articles is allowed only with proper citation and linking.

These policies ensure that our journalism remains ethical, factual, and trustworthy.
