01Accuracy
We aim to report accurately and distinguish verified facts from analysis and opinion. Headlines and summaries must reflect the substance of the story. Unconfirmed information must be clearly identified and must not be presented as established fact. Facts, quotations and sources must not be fabricated.
02Editorial Integrity
We make editorial decisions in the interests of our audience. Commercial relationships must not be presented as independent editorial judgment. Relevant conflicts of interest must be disclosed, and advertising must be distinguishable from editorial coverage.
03Sources
We identify sources where appropriate and preserve the context of quotations, statistics and official statements. Claims must be supported by reliable information and attributed where necessary. A press release represents the position of its issuer; its claims must not be presented as independently verified unless they have been verified.
04Editorial Responsibility
Vancouver Television is responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the material it publishes. Headlines, summaries, statistics and article text must agree with the underlying evidence. Unverified details must be withheld or clearly qualified. Substantive errors require a visible correction. Readers can raise concerns through our correction form.
05Photography & Visuals
We use visuals to inform audiences and represent the subject accurately. Images must not be presented in a misleading context. Illustrative, materially altered or generated visuals must be identified when their nature could otherwise mislead. Usage rights, required credits and licensing conditions must be respected.
06Sponsored Content
Paid or sponsored material must be clearly labeled so audiences can distinguish it from editorial coverage. Relevant commercial relationships must be disclosed in a way readers can readily understand.
07Corrections & Complaints
We review reported factual errors and editorial concerns and correct verified inaccuracies. Substantive corrections must be clearly identified so readers understand what changed; routine spelling or formatting fixes do not require a correction notice. To report an error or raise a concern, include the article link, the disputed detail and supporting information. Use Submit a Correction or Editorial Complaints.
