Russian American Media — Ethics & Corrections Policy
Editorial Standards and Ethics
Russian American Media (RAM) is committed to producing accurate, fair, responsible, and fact-based journalism that serves the informational needs of the communities we cover.
Our editorial work is guided by the principles of accuracy, transparency, fairness, independence, and accountability.
We strive to:
Verify facts and information before publication using reliable and appropriate sources.
Clearly distinguish news and editorial content from advertising, sponsored, promotional, or other commercial content.
Provide appropriate context and avoid knowingly publishing false, misleading, or materially incomplete information.
Attribute information to its sources whenever appropriate and identify sources clearly unless there is a legitimate journalistic reason to protect confidentiality.
Seek accuracy and fairness when reporting on individuals, organizations, public institutions, and matters of public interest.
Maintain editorial judgment independently from advertisers, sponsors, business partners, and other outside interests.
Respect intellectual property and appropriately credit third-party materials and sources.
Avoid undisclosed conflicts of interest that could compromise the integrity of our journalism.
Corrections Policy
Russian American Media is committed to correcting significant factual errors promptly and transparently.
When we become aware of a potential error in published editorial content, we review the information and, when appropriate, consult relevant sources or documentation to determine whether a correction is necessary.
If a material factual error is confirmed, we will correct the content as promptly as reasonably possible. Depending on the nature and significance of the error, we may add a correction or editor’s note explaining what was changed.
Minor typographical, grammatical, formatting, or other non-substantive errors may be corrected without a separate correction notice when they do not alter the meaning or substance of the content.
Requests for corrections may be submitted to Russian American Media through the contact information provided on our website. Correction requests should identify the publication or article in question and provide sufficient information to allow us to review the matter.
Transparency and Accountability
Russian American Media recognizes that public trust depends on transparency and accountability. We welcome good-faith questions and concerns regarding the accuracy of our editorial content and review such matters in accordance with these standards.
These principles apply to original journalistic content produced and published by Russian American Media across its print and digital platforms.
