We are passionate about truthful, independent, fair, non-biased reporting of stories and issues that impact the communities we serve.  We work daily to uncover and discover news that matters and are committed to recognizing and celebrating the differences that make each of our markets unique.  We work to strengthen and support our communities through public service projects addressing various needs, for example, clothing and food drives, foster care/adoption initiatives, drug take back events, blood drives, emergency telethons. We work to be leaders in the markets we serve and the media industry as a whole.  </p><h2 class="body-h2">Our People</h2><p>Our team of journalists reflects the very diverse communities we serve in 26 different local television markets.  We are committed to encouraging, cultivating and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. Hearst Television actively supports and recruits from minority journalists organizations and employs a Director of Veteran Recruiting. We celebrate and support the differences among our team members, never discriminating based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disabilities or other personal characteristics.   We believe the differences among our team allow us to offer the most relevant, reflective and meaningful news coverage to our communities. </p><h2 class="body-h2">Our Commitment to Ethical Standards &amp; Practices </h2><h3 class="body-h3">Ethics Statement</h3><p>Hearst Television news operations seek the truth, remain independent, ensure accuracy and report with respect. We commit to checking facts, questioning information, providing context and remaining transparent with our reporting, our affiliations and potential conflicts of interest.</p><p>We operate independently and without influence of outside organizations or internal pressures.</p><h3 class="body-h3">Fact-checking Standards</h3><p>In an effort to ensure every story we produce and publish is accurate, we approach each with a healthy dose of skepticism and operate by the premise that ‘first is desired, right is required.’  That means taking time to research a subject and identify experts who can confirm facts or clarify information.  We seek multiple sources to corroborate claims. We structure our newsrooms to allow for multiple sets of eyes to read or view a story before it is published or broadcast.  </p><h3 class="body-h3">Sourcing Policy</h3><p>Hearst Television typically doesn’t rely on single sources and avoids using unnamed sources unless necessary to protect the source from the threat of real or perceived retaliation.  </p><h3 class="body-h3">Corrections &amp; Clarification Policy &amp; Practice</h3><p>Hearst Television is committed to accuracy and transparency in reporting.

347  "articleBody": "Hearst Television News Policy Statements Our Purpose Hearst Television operates under the premise that first is desired, right is required in everything we do. Our purpose is one of service, providing quality news and information to the local television markets in which we operate. We are passionate about truthful, independent, fair, non-biased reporting of stories and issues that impact the communities we serve. We work daily to uncover and discover news that matters and are committed to recognizing and celebrating the differences that make each of our markets unique. We work to strengthen and support our communities through public service projects addressing various needs, for example, clothing and food drives, foster care/adoption initiatives, drug take back events, blood drives, emergency telethons. We work to be leaders in the markets we serve and the media industry as a whole. Our People Our team of journalists reflects the very diverse communities we serve in 26 different local television markets. We are committed to encouraging, cultivating and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. Hearst Television actively supports and recruits from minority journalists organizations and employs a Director of Veteran Recruiting. We celebrate and support the differences among our team members, never discriminating based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disabilities or other personal characteristics. We believe the differences among our team allow us to offer the most relevant, reflective and meaningful news coverage to our communities. Our Commitment to Ethical Standards &amp; Practices Ethics Statement Hearst Television news operations seek the truth, remain independent, ensure accuracy and report with respect. We commit to checking facts, questioning information, providing context and remaining transparent with our reporting, our affiliations and potential conflicts of interest. We operate independently and without influence of outside organizations or internal pressures. Fact-checking Standards In an effort to ensure every story we produce and publish is accurate, we approach each with a healthy dose of skepticism and operate by the premise that ‘first is desired, right is required.’ That means taking time to research a subject and identify experts who can confirm facts or clarify information. We seek multiple sources to corroborate claims. We structure our newsrooms to allow for multiple sets of eyes to read or view a story before it is published or broadcast. Sourcing Policy Hearst Television typically doesn’t rely on single sources and avoids using unnamed sources unless necessary to protect the source from the threat of real or perceived retaliation. Corrections &amp; Clarification Policy &amp; Practice Hearst Television is committed to accuracy and transparency in reporting. When mistakes are identified, we seek to quickly and thoughtfully acknowledge and address errors. Stories published to our websites note when a correction has been made. Use of Technology in Editorial Efforts Hearst Television journalists originate all editorial content. We do use technology, including Artificial Intelligence, to assist in some production processes, for example, content surfacing, translation, re-construction of original reporting for alternate platforms, and distribution. Consistent with our existing multiple set of eyes policy, all content is reviewed by journalists for accuracy, appropriate context, and lack of bias before publishing or broadcasting. Our Commitment to Communication Actionable Feedback/Public Engagement activities We encourage our audience to offer input and ideas, interacting b
