COMMENT | Original editorial opinion. Attribution is necessary, but original analysis is what makes a publication worth reading.
The context
News organisations serve readers best when they contribute reporting, verification or a distinctive interpretation rather than repackage another publisher's work.
Our analysis
THE BUSINESS TIME will link to original reporting where it provides the factual starting point, describe what remains unknown and make clear which judgments are our own. Respect for other publishers and transparency with readers are compatible with confident independent commentary.
What to watch
We will not present third-party photographs or reports as newsroom originals.
Editorial note: This is an original opinion column, not a report of a newly investigated incident. It should not be read as a finding about any particular person or company.
We assess factual corrections and substantive responses. Verified changes are reflected in our reporting.
