Átlátszó Erdély is an investigative journalism project aiming to increase the transparency of the public life of the Hungarian community of Transylvania, Romania.
We’d like to gain and maintain the confidence of our readers by observing the values of journalism, which are universally accepted by the professional community: robust evidence, critical analysis, accuracy and fairness.
Transparency is another value that defines our work. We lay out in the following paragraphs a set of rules we observe, offering an opportunity to our readers to check our activity and to decide whether we live up to our principles at each stage of our work.
These rules do not cover every possible situation. Whenever we have to ponder the answers, we take into consideration the Ethical Principles of the Editor-in-Chief’s Forum (Főszerkesztők Fóruma) and The Guardian editorial guidelines in addition to our procedures.
All staff members, and also freelancers working for Átlátszó Erdély are required to follow the guidelines below.
