Editorial Policy
This policy outlines the editorial standards Tassie Times aims to follow as a Tasmanian news and digital-magazine publication. It is an initial public statement and is subject to final legal review.
Last reviewed: July 2026
Accuracy
We aim to publish accurate, fair and useful information. Where facts are uncertain, we prefer careful wording over unsupported claims.
Mock or development content used during site build-out is clearly treated as temporary layout material and is not a substitute for verified reporting.
Editorial and sponsored content
Editorial coverage and commercial content should remain clearly distinct.
Sponsored, promotional or partner material will be labelled so readers can recognise it. Opinion and advertising should also be presented in ways that are not easily confused with independent news reporting.
Corrections
If you believe something we published is inaccurate or unfair, please email us with the page address, the issue you have identified and any supporting detail you can provide.
We will review concerns in good faith and update content where a correction is warranted. We do not promise a fixed response time.
Right of reply and fairness
Where appropriate, we aim to give people or organisations meaningful opportunity to respond to significant allegations or characterisations made about them in our coverage.
Conflicts of interest
Editorial decisions should not be driven by undisclosed personal or commercial conflicts. Relevant interests that could influence a story should be managed transparently.
Privacy, sensitivity and supplied material
We aim to treat private individuals and community matters with care, especially where reporting could cause unnecessary harm.
Images, documents and tip information supplied by readers or organisations should be used responsibly and only where we believe we have a reasonable basis to publish.
