Our Standards

Hudson County Truth adheres to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. Our editorial policy is based on the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics:

• Seek Truth and Report It: We verify information before publication and take responsibility for the accuracy of our work.
• Minimize Harm: We balance the public’s need for information against potential harm to sources and subjects.
• Act Independently: We avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any potential biases.
• Be Accountable: We invite and respond to public criticism and correct errors promptly.

Sources and Attribution

All sources are verified to the best of our ability. We protect confidential sources when disclosure is necessary for accountability. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and when the information cannot be obtained on the record.
