Editorial Policy & Code of Ethics

Draft for review.

Independence

Insight PH is run by students under the Campus Journalism Act (RA 7079). Editorial decisions are made by the editorial board without prior restraint.

Accuracy and sourcing

We verify before we publish, attribute information to named sources wherever possible, and explain when a source must stay anonymous.

Fairness

People criticised in a story are given the chance to respond. Read our Corrections and right of reply page.

Opinion vs news

Editorials, columns, and commentary are clearly labelled and reflect the views of their authors or the editorial board, not the school.

Conflicts of interest, minors, photos, AI

Staff declare conflicts of interest. We protect the identity of minors in sensitive coverage and obtain consent for photos of private individuals. We do not publish AI-generated text as reporting; any AI assistance is disclosed.
