747</p>
748
749
750<p><strong>Why did you create </strong><strong><em>The Wire</em></strong><strong>?</strong></p>
751
752
753
754<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a lot of terrific reporting on China, and yet there is no English language publication singularly devoted to chronicling China’s economic rise and the country’s influence on global politics, business, labor, the environment and the financial markets. We hope to set a high standard for reporting on China, creating a forum for new voices and seasoned experts as well as a platform to showcase deeply reported stories and investigative journalism.</p>
755
756
757
758<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How would you describe </strong><strong><em>The Wire’s</em></strong><strong> approach to journalism?&nbsp;</strong></p>
759
760
761
762<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We aim to pursue big stories, and to search for answers — and solutions — with honesty, integrity and humility; all the while striving to be the very best at what we do. We seek to educate readers in order to help citizens and governments make better decisions and deepen cultural understanding. We also hope that our work will help make businesses and entrepreneurs more efficient. And like the best journalism organizations, we seek to hold people in power accountable.</p>
763
764
765
766<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How do your reporters gather and verify information?</strong></p>
767
768
769
770<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We get on the ground, visit companies, factories, labs and businesses. We comb through research reports and government documents. We also encourage our journalists to find and listen to as many sources as possible, ideally at least 25 interviews for a cover story, before writing. Every source and subject ought to be approached with respect and fairness. We are open to tipsters and whistleblowers, but we shy away from the use of anonymous sources. We take great care in verifying information. On our site, we provide links and footnotes to help readers understand where much of our information originates and what background research we have conducted. We’d like readers of our articles to conclude that a tremendous amount of work went into producing them, and that we strived to be fair and judicious.</p>
771
772
773
774<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Do you have a corrections policy?</strong></p>
775
776
777
778<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes. Accuracy is one of our top priorities. If you notice a factual error in one of our stories, please reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected], and we will work with the story&#8217;s editor and reporter to review the matter and publish a correction, as needed. Corrections are published in italics at the bottom of the article. For typos and broken links, we will correct the error without appending a correction.</p>
779
780
781
782<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How do you differ from other media outlets?</strong></p>
783
784
785
786<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In our pursuit of data and documents. Most newsrooms have laid off researchers and closed their libraries. Publishers refrain from building document archives or a permanent collection to house what they collect in the course of reporting. At<em> The Wire,</em> we have established an in-house library and archive to help our reporters and editors deepen their understanding of issues, share contacts and engage in investigative journalism. We also have access to a unique data platform called <a href="http://www.wirescreen.ai">WireScreen</a> ([email protected]), run by our sister company, which has comprehensive data on corporations and business elites in China. We consider data and documents central to our mission.</p>
787
788
789
790<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What’s the focus of your news coverage?</strong></p>
791
792
793
794<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We cover China largely from beyond its borders, so we are focused on looking at the country from a global perspective. How do China-based businesses invest and operate outside of the country? How do multinationals operate inside China? Who are China’s leading entrepreneurs and startups, and how have they succeeded or failed? How do cross border deals work? How do Americans, Europeans and others&nbsp;invest in China, and how do Chinese businesses invest overseas? When it comes to business, what happens at the intersection of China and the rest of the world? And is there a way to put today’s dynamics in perspective with a historical piece, looking back at the origins of a conflict or development? These are the types of stories we are pursuing.&nbsp;</p>
