Bermuda Observer follows these core principles:

Accuracy first. We distinguish clearly between confirmed facts, officially released information, and analysis or interpretation. Unverified reports are labelled as such.

Attribution. Aggregated stories credit the original publisher and link to the source. Original reporting is bylined.

Sourcing. We rely on primary sources — government statements, official agencies, court records and verifiable data — wherever possible.

Independence. Advertising and house promotions are kept separate from editorial content.

Accountability. Errors are corrected promptly and transparently in line with our Corrections Policy.
