Family Court CorruptionThese standards describe the process we intend to apply as reporting is developed.
Identify the source
Cite documents and exact locations. A filed allegation, transcript statement, and court finding are different types of information.
Preserve context
Retain relevant contrary records, responses, dismissals, reversals, and later outcomes.
Protect children and private information
Keep children’s identities and sensitive personal details out of public material. Review redactions before publication.
Review professional claims
Verify identity and source support. Do not publish unsupported accusations as facts. Seek relevant responses when preparing named reporting.
Correct the record
Provide a way to request corrections, record material changes, and update reporting when outcomes change.
Disclose perspective
Identify advocacy and opinion as such. Disclose relevant founder involvement in reporting on the founder’s own litigation.
