We consider these guidelines to be a “living document” that we will continually modify and update based on feedback from our journalists, from our readers and from our perceptions of our changing needs. Because the circumstances under which information is obtained and reported vary widely from one case to the next, these guidelines should not be understood as establishing hard and fast rules or as covering every situation that might arise.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Conflict of interest</b></p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">This news organization is pledged to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict of interest wherever and whenever possible. We have adopted stringent policies on these issues, conscious that they may be more restrictive than is customary in the world of private business. In particular:</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We pay our own way.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We accept no gifts from news sources. We accept no free trips. We neither seek nor accept preferential treatment that might be rendered because of the positions we hold. Exceptions to the no-gift rule are few and obvious — invitations to meals, for example, may be accepted when they are occasional and innocent but not when they are repeated and their purpose is deliberately calculating. Free admissions to any event that is not free to the public are prohibited. The only exception is for seats not sold to the public, as in a press box, or tickets provided for a critic’s review. Whenever possible, arrangements will be made to pay for such seats.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We do not accept payment — either honoraria or expenses — from governments, government-funded organizations, groups of government officials, political groups or organizations that take positions on controversial issues. A reporter or editor also cannot accept payment from any person, company or organization that he or she covers. And we should avoid accepting money from individuals, companies, trade associations or organizations that lobby government or otherwise try to influence issues the newspaper covers. Broadcast organizations, educational institutions, social organizations and many professional organizations usually fall outside this provision unless the reporter or editor is involved in coverage of them.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">It is important that no freelance assignments and no honoraria be accepted that might in any way be interpreted as disguised gratuities. We make every reasonable effort to be free of obligation to news sources and to special interests. We must be wary of entanglement with those whose positions render them likely to be subjects of journalistic interest and examination. Our private behavior as well as our professional behavior must not bring discredit to our profession or to The Post.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We avoid active involvement in any partisan causes — politics, community affairs, social action, demonstrations — that could compromise or seem to compromise our ability to report and edit fairly. Relatives cannot fairly be made subject to Post rules, but it should be recognized that their employment or their involvement in causes can at least appear to compromise our integrity. The business and professional ties of traditional family members or other members of your household must be disclosed to department heads.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Fairness</b></p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Reporters and editors of The Post are committed to fairness. While arguments about objectivity are endless, the concept of fairness is something that editors and reporters can easily understand and pursue.

A word offensive to the last generation can be part of the next generation’s common vocabulary. But we shall avoid prurience. We shall avoid profanities and obscenities unless their use is so essential to a story of significance that its meaning is lost without them.

For example, we may link to a Web page that contains material that does not meet standards for Post original content, but we let users know what they might see before they click the link by including a warning, such as “Warning: Some images on this site contain graphic images of war.”</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Finally, we do not link to sites that aid or abet illegal activity.

Stories are subject to review by one or more editors. The Post has a multilevel structure for the review and editing of stories that may include fact-checking. These include assignment editors (department heads, their deputy editors and assistant editors) who collaborate with reporters on the origination of stories and typically provide initial review when a story is submitted by a reporter; multiplatform editors (also called copy editors) who often provide initial review on breaking news stories and routinely provide second-level review on print and other less-time-sensitive stories; and senior editors who have overall oversight of the daily and weekend report for digital publication throughout the day as well as The Post’s print editions. Editors who oversee digital platforms also may be involved in the presentation of stories as well as headlines, news alerts and newsletters. The number of editors who review a story prior to publication and the extent of their involvement varies depending on a range of factors, including complexity, sensitivity and the pressure of time.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><div class="undefined raw-html" data-qa="raw-html"><div><a name="corrections"></a></div></div></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><h3 data-qa="article-header" class=" pb-sm pt-md" id="DYQ2OA2QDVFVZFFI7MFXY5K6PU"><div>Corrections policy</div></h3></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">The Washington Post strives for a nimble, accurate and complete news report.

We realize that in many circumstances, sources will be unwilling to reveal to us information about corruption in their own organizations, or high-level policy disagreements, for example, if disclosing their identities could cost them their jobs or expose them to harm.

We prefer sources with firsthand or direct knowledge of the information. A relevant document can sometimes serve as a second source. There are situations in which we will publish information from a single source, but we should do so only after deliberations involving the executive editor, the managing editor and the appropriate department head.

Assertions that something actually happened although it was unseen by the reporter should be attributed, so the narrative device of describing an event as it was recounted to us by witnesses must include attribution. If we reconstruct statements or exchanges between people based on the recollections of those people or witnesses who heard them speak, we must attribute those recollections transparently.

This means explaining our ground rules to sources, and giving readers as much information as possible about how we learned the information in our stories. If a source is not on the record, it is important to establish ground rules at the beginning of a conversation. In a taped interview, it is preferable for the discussion of ground rules to be on the tape. We strongly prefer on-the-record interviews to all other types, but we recognize that getting sources on the record is not always possible. When it is not, we owe readers explanations as to why not, as discussed above.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We should start virtually all interviews with the presumption that they are on the record.

People use these terms to mean different things, so if your dealings with a source are going to be anything other than “on the record,” you should have a discussion to clarify the terms before you begin an interview.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>On the record</b>: For quotation, attributable to the source by name.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>On background</b>, or <b>not for attribution</b>: These both mean the same thing: information that can be attributed to “a police department official” or “a player on the team” who is not named. We must be careful, when dealing with sources who say they want to provide information “on background,” to explain that to us that means we can quote the statement while maintaining the confidentiality of the source. Some sources will try to negotiate the terms of art in “background” attribution — for example, a State Department official may ask to be identified as “an administration official.” We should try to put the reader’s interest first. In a story about a fight between the Pentagon and the State Department, for example, quoting “an administration official” is useless to readers. Use good judgment and press for maximum revelation in attribution.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Deep background</b>: This is a tricky category, to be avoided if possible. Information accepted on “deep background” can be included in the story but not attributed. That means there is no way to help readers understand where it is coming from, which is why we discourage the use of deep background. You can also use information received on deep background as the basis for further reporting.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Off the record</b>: This is the trickiest of all, because so many people misuse the term. By the traditional definition, off-the-record information cannot be used for publication or in further reporting. But many sources, including some sophisticated officials, use the term when they really mean “not for attribution to me.” We must be very careful when dealing with sources who say they want to be “off the record.” If they mean “not for attribution to me,” we need to explain the difference, and discuss what the attribution will actually be. If they really mean off the record as the term is traditionally defined, then in most circumstances, we should avoid listening to such information at all. We do not want to be hamstrung by a source who tells us something that becomes unusable because it is provided on an off-the-record basis.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">A source may be willing to give us information for our guidance or to prompt further reporting, on the understanding that we will not use his or her comments as the basis for publication.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Quoting sources and sharing information</b></p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Our objective in quoting people is to capture both their words and intended meaning accurately. That requires care in negotiating ground rules with sources. We do not allow sources to change the rules governing specific quotations after the fact. Once a quote is on the record, it remains there.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Sometimes, a source will agree to be interviewed only if we promise to read quotations back to the source before publication. We should not allow sources to change what was said in an original interview, although accuracy or the risk of losing an on-the-record quote from a crucial source may sometimes require it. A better and more acceptable alternative is to permit a source to add to a quotation and then explain that sequence to readers. If you find yourself in this gray area, consult your editor.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Some reporters share sections of stories with sources before publication, to ensure accuracy on technical points or to catch errors. A science writer, for instance, may read to a source a passage, or even much of a story, about a complex subject to make sure that it is accurate. But it is against our policy to share drafts of entire stories with outside sources prior to publication, except with the permission — which will be granted extremely rarely — of the executive or managing editors.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">In negotiating terms of engagement with a source, reporters and editors should be prepared for everything they say or write, in any medium, on the telephone or in person, to become public.

Clarity and straightforwardness in our communications with sources is essential.</p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md"><b>Expert sources</b></p></div><div class="article-body grid-center grid-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">We quote a lot of people in The Post. We’re always interviewing men and women on the street, and we seem to depend ever more on “experts” to provide context for stories, make interpretive points or offer judgments about subjects we are covering.

This means avoiding dependence on the same academics or public figures for reactions to stories. We all must look for new specialists — especially women, younger people, people of color, unconventional thinkers and people who aren’t routinely quoted by us and other media outlets, but who constitute a large part of our readership, and of the general population. This won’t happen unless we make an effort.

Editors who oversee digital platforms also may be involved in the presentation of stories as well as headlines, news alerts and newsletters.

We expect Washington Post reporters to see as much as they can of the story they are reporting and to talk to as many participants as possible. Reporters should consider the advantages of reporting from the scene of events they are covering whenever that is possible.","type":"text"},{"_id":"53EPFOZTWZD65LYOGFVWFPDNFY","additional_properties":{},"content":"If a reporter was not present at a scene described in a story, the story should make that clear. Assertions that something actually happened although it was unseen by the reporter should be attributed, so the narrative device of describing an event as it was recounted to us by witnesses must include attribution. If we reconstruct statements or exchanges between people based on the recollections of those people or witnesses who heard them speak, we must attribute those recollections transparently. If you are unsure about the application of these guidelines in a particular situation, discuss it with your editors.","type":"text"},{"_id":"7S3AUIJ7BVBGJHANNAXDFZVLJQ","additional_properties":{},"content":"In some circumstances where a source has allowed us to see something that reporters would not otherwise be able to observe, special problems of attribution may arise.

This means explaining our ground rules to sources, and giving readers as much information as possible about how we learned the information in our stories. If a source is not on the record, it is important to establish ground rules at the beginning of a conversation. In a taped interview, it is preferable for the discussion of ground rules to be on the tape. We strongly prefer on-the-record interviews to all other types, but we recognize that getting sources on the record is not always possible. When it is not, we owe readers explanations as to why not, as discussed above.","type":"text"},{"_id":"YDXQNRWHWFAL3HZPIGHNER6XYU","additional_properties":{},"content":"We should start virtually all interviews with the presumption that they are on the record. Inexperienced sources — usually ordinary people who unexpectedly find themselves the news — should clearly understand that you are a reporter and should not be surprised to find themselves quoted in the newspaper.","type":"text"},{"_id":"5S2KEMNU7ZG6ZPO7N35J75FQZY","additional_properties":{},"content":"In establishing ground rules, the following are The Washington Post’s definitions of various forms of attribution. People use these terms to mean different things, so if your dealings with a source are going to be anything other than “on the record,” you should have a discussion to clarify the terms before you begin an interview.","type":"text"},{"_id":"5V7XBKBR45CGTITC27FBJMGQ2E","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eOn the record\u003c/b\u003e: For quotation, attributable to the source by name.","type":"text"},{"_id":"ZB67ERWEH5HXXKUBEGQ3LSCSLA","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eOn background\u003c/b\u003e, or \u003cb\u003enot for attribution\u003c/b\u003e: These both mean the same thing: information that can be attributed to “a police department official” or “a player on the team” who is not named. We must be careful, when dealing with sources who say they want to provide information “on background,” to explain that to us that means we can quote the statement while maintaining the confidentiality of the source. Some sources will try to negotiate the terms of art in “background” attribution — for example, a State Department official may ask to be identified as “an administration official.” We should try to put the reader’s interest first. In a story about a fight between the Pentagon and the State Department, for example, quoting “an administration official” is useless to readers. Use good judgment and press for maximum revelation in attribution.","type":"text"},{"_id":"7E5HTY6KQRGHFFFG5TNJYEXGRE","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eDeep background\u003c/b\u003e: This is a tricky category, to be avoided if possible. Information accepted on “deep background” can be included in the story but not attributed. That means there is no way to help readers understand where it is coming from, which is why we discourage the use of deep background. You can also use information received on deep background as the basis for further reporting.","type":"text"},{"_id":"KMWQ6IGWZBAEXJY3FJJ3BYQSFY","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eOff the record\u003c/b\u003e: This is the trickiest of all, because so many people misuse the term. By the traditional definition, off-the-record information cannot be used for publication or in further reporting. But many sources, including some sophisticated officials, use the term when they really mean “not for attribution to me.” We must be very careful when dealing with sources who say they want to be “off the record.” If they mean “not for attribution to me,” we need to explain the difference, and discuss what the attribution will actually be. If they really mean off the record as the term is traditionally defined, then in most circumstances, we should avoid listening to such information at all. We do not want to be hamstrung by a source who tells us something that becomes unusable because it is provided on an off-the-record basis.","type":"text"},{"_id":"L5FNZQTURREBLPWVIXHL7W7AH4","additional_properties":{},"content":"A source may be willing to give us information for our guidance or to prompt further reporting, on the understanding that we will not use his or her comments as the basis for publication.","type":"text"},{"_id":"C7AM4FTANNFWDDBCYT3AUAGR4Q","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eQuoting sources and sharing information\u003c/b\u003e","type":"text"},{"_id":"J43VHZMXWVDXJLTFM7FQWEHNRE","additional_properties":{},"content":"Our objective in quoting people is to capture both their words and intended meaning accurately.

We should not allow sources to change what was said in an original interview, although accuracy or the risk of losing an on-the-record quote from a crucial source may sometimes require it. A better and more acceptable alternative is to permit a source to add to a quotation and then explain that sequence to readers. If you find yourself in this gray area, consult your editor.","type":"text"},{"_id":"IEHQJFS5OZH2FJHOK3EX7BVBC4","additional_properties":{},"content":"Some reporters share sections of stories with sources before publication, to ensure accuracy on technical points or to catch errors. A science writer, for instance, may read to a source a passage, or even much of a story, about a complex subject to make sure that it is accurate. But it is against our policy to share drafts of entire stories with outside sources prior to publication, except with the permission — which will be granted extremely rarely — of the executive or managing editors.","type":"text"},{"_id":"PZSOUHQ3MBC6RHTMSEDJKI2JLE","additional_properties":{},"content":"In negotiating terms of engagement with a source, reporters and editors should be prepared for everything they say or write, in any medium, on the telephone or in person, to become public. They should make no promises, agree to no compromises and offer no concessions that aren’t compatible with this policy and The Post’s standards. Clarity and straightforwardness in our communications with sources is essential.","type":"text"},{"_id":"XEAQ4ICQNND25LDABJXLYANKVQ","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eExpert sources\u003c/b\u003e","type":"text"},{"_id":"2L2JGRIQVFBABMA2NR4G3HI4VQ","additional_properties":{},"content":"We quote a lot of people in The Post. We’re always interviewing men and women on the street, and we seem to depend ever more on “experts” to provide context for stories, make interpretive points or offer judgments about subjects we are covering.

But it is important to think about who we are quoting, either for citizen reaction or for expert guidance.","type":"text"},{"_id":"KZOWH6EANZD2JEREOWVDGAAEIQ","additional_properties":{},"content":"We must strive always to get a rich variety of voices into our work. This means avoiding dependence on the same academics or public figures for reactions to stories. We all must look for new specialists — especially women, younger people, people of color, unconventional thinkers and people who aren’t routinely quoted by us and other media outlets, but who constitute a large part of our readership, and of the general population. This won’t happen unless we make an effort. Reporters need to expand their universe of sources.","type":"text"},{"_id":"XZBJYVLTUBB2BIMLO5CWXNYPCU","additional_properties":{},"content":"Similarly, we need to remember to talk to a broad range of individuals who are affected by the events we cover. When we write about a new school board policy, we should talk to students, teachers and parents about its impact. When we cover a company’s sale or move, we should hear from affected employees. The voices of ordinary citizens of all ages should be a regular part of our journalism — more than they have been in the past.","type":"text"},{"_id":"IBRCQPKTJVCJHLTPMIQQQLHG6Y","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003ca name=\"diversity\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e","type":"raw_html"},{"_id":"ZJ5KFHDG7FAHXHPQSD5QRJ24FY","additional_properties":{},"content":"\u003cb\u003eDiversity policy\u003c/b\u003e","level":3,"type":"header"},{"_id":"SKKS5YOGJFCMBE2C4TPEE4EMTE","additional_properties":{},"content":"Diversity is at the core of Washington Post journalism.
