Women’s Agenda Editorial adheres to the code of ethics established by the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA), applicable across all platforms, including social media.

Our ethical obligations include:

• Reporting and interpreting truthfully, with accuracy, fairness, and the disclosure of all essential facts. We avoid suppressing relevant facts or distorting emphasis. Fair opportunity for reply is provided.
• Avoiding unnecessary emphasis on personal characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, family relationships, religious beliefs, or disabilities.
• Striving to attribute information to its source. When anonymity is requested, we assess the source’s motives and seek alternatives where possible. Confidentiality is respected when agreed upon.
• Ensuring personal interest, beliefs, gifts, or payments do not compromise accuracy, fairness, or independence. Relevant shareholdings are disclosed.
• Disclosing conflicts of interest that could affect our accuracy, fairness, or independence. Journalistic positions will not be used for personal gain.
• Maintaining editorial independence from advertising and other commercial considerations.
• Clearly disclosing any payments made for interviews or information.
• Using fair and honest methods to gather material, identifying ourselves and our employer. We do not exploit vulnerabilities or lack of media knowledge.
• Presenting images and sound accurately; disclosing any manipulations that may mislead.
• Avoiding plagiarism.
• Respecting privacy and private grief, and upholding the right to resist intrusion.
• Correcting errors fairly.
