"Our goal is to provide our listeners and readers at WNYC
the highest-quality independent, fact-based news and
information about the New York City metro region.
Making sure we are giving our listeners and readers the best
local journalism is our top priority. That includes
selecting stories based on what our community needs to know
to be informed and engaged, and providing information that
enables individuals to make decisions that benefit
themselves, their families and their communities.
Our newsroom takes several steps to ensure what we publish
and broadcast is timely, accurate, clear, thorough, fair and
relevant. Here are some of the ways we make sure of it:
-
To craft a single story, journalists with combined
decades of experience use official reports, interviews,
data, and other sources to verify our information is
accurate.
-
-
Our audio reports and written stories are reviewed by a
minimum of three journalists and by as many as six or
seven editors. The journalists involved are making sure
the stories are accurate, fair and provide context for
people who may not know much about the topic. This
process also helps to ensure different perspectives are
included and that we aren’t causing any unnecessary
harm.
-
-
Reporters and producers often check several sources to
verify a single fact. Most stories have a handful of
sources to make sure we are representing all sides. Even
if we don’t use the quotes of someone we interviewed,
that information is still used to craft each story.
-
-
When practical, we provide links within text stories so
readers can see where we obtained the information. As
much as it is possible, we describe and cite our sources
and avoid using unnamed sources except in rare
circumstances.
-
However, despite our diligent efforts to make sure
everything published by our newsroom is timely, accurate,
clear, thorough, fair and relevant, we occasionally make
mistakes. When we do, we will correct them. Your trust in
our journalism is paramount, and we know owning up to when
we get things wrong is important to keeping that trust.
