Accuracy
Every factual claim is sourced. Where a figure comes from a party with an interest in it, we say so. Where we cannot verify something, we do not publish it — or we publish it clearly labelled as a claim rather than a fact.
Corrections
When we get something wrong we correct it on the article, with a dated note explaining what changed. We do not quietly edit published copy to fix errors of fact.
Sources
We prefer named sources. We grant anonymity only when the information is in the public interest and the source faces a real professional or legal risk — never as a courtesy, and never to let someone attack a competitor without attribution.
Conflicts of interest
Journalists disclose holdings in companies and funds they cover and do not trade in securities they report on. Any commercial relationship between Estate News and an organisation we cover is disclosed within the article.
Advertising and sponsored content
Commercial content is labelled at the top of the item and is visually distinct from editorial. Advertisers receive no advance sight of editorial coverage and no influence over it.
Use of AI
We may use machine assistance for research, transcription and data processing. Every published article is reported, written and checked by a named human journalist who is accountable for it.
