Ethical Guidelines

• Seek the truth and report it- We strive for honesty, fairness and openness. We never publish inflammatory statements. We always seek the best expert. We do not favor a source over another for personal reasons. We do not stereotype. We report relevant sides to the best of our ability.
• Do no harm- We make a concerted effort to be positive. We are not purposefully combative for the sake of being combative. We do good. We are compassionate. We are not a tabloid.
• Act Independently- Our content is created for students by students. We stay free from conflicts of association. If an association cannot be avoided, we fully disclose it. We hold sources and subjects accountable at all times.
• Be Accountable- We are students and professionals. We owe it to our listeners to report stories accurately. If a mistake is published, we swiftly correct it.
