Editorial independence

Decisions about what we cover and how we cover it are made by our editors.

• Investors. No outside investor has any influence over our editorial decisions.
• Owners. The owners' other business interests have no say over our coverage.
• Advertisers. Advertisers cannot buy coverage, do not see articles before publication and have no influence over what we report. Sponsored content is always labeled and is never written by the newsroom.

Disclosure of owners' interests

The owners of Capital Times have other business interests. When we report on a company, organization or matter connected to those interests, we disclose the connection in the article.

Owners are also bound by the trading and disclosure rules in our Ethics Policy. They may not trade securities that Capital Times is writing about around publication, and they must disclose relevant holdings to the editor in chief.

If this changes

If the ownership of Capital Times or the way it is funded changes, we will update this page and note the date of the change.
