Spain in English is committed to independent, accurate, and fair journalism. This policy sets out the principles that guide every piece of content we publish.
Our editorial decisions are made entirely by our editorial team, free from the influence of advertisers, funders, or external parties. Commercial relationships have no bearing on what we choose to cover or how we cover it.
We strive to ensure all published information is accurate and verified. Our reporters and editors are required to check facts before publication. Where errors occur, we correct them promptly and transparently.
On matters of public controversy and political debate, we present a fair range of perspectives. We do not take sides in party-political matters, and our reporters are expected to keep personal opinions separate from their reporting.
Analysis and opinion pieces are clearly labelled and distinguished from news reporting.
We identify our sources wherever possible. When sources request anonymity, we consider the public interest carefully and apply it only where necessary. We do not publish unverified claims or rumour as fact.
We recognise the potential impact of our journalism on individuals and communities. We approach sensitive topics — including crime, mental health, and tragedy — with care, and follow industry guidance on responsible reporting.
Readers who believe our coverage has fallen short of these standards are encouraged to contact the editorial team. We take all complaints seriously and respond in a timely manner.
