True. The founding principles of the Correspondent(with some additions by me) mirror this:
- We are your antidote to the daily news grind (Chris Coolsma: publication only after thorough research, checked sources)
- We do not take ad dollars of any kind (Chris Coolsma: no bias from sponsors)
- We fight stereotypes, prejudice, and fearmongering : (Chris Coolsma: can only be done with reference to fact checked knowledge and science)
- We don’t just cover the problem, but also what can be done about it
- We collaborate with you, our knowledgeable members (Chris Coolsma: the members are critical evaluators)
- We don’t take the view from nowhere. We tell you where we’re coming from
- We protect your privacy, by minimizing the personal data we collect
- We want to be as inclusive as possible
- We always put journalism before financial gain
- We believe in transparency and continued self-improvement
