We treat people we write about fairly and openly. We work hard to avoid surprising anyone about what they may read about themselves in the AJC.
We tread lightly into someone's personal life and reveal no more than is absolutely necessary.
We don't pay sources for tips or story subjects for interviews. We don't trade favorable coverage for any consideration including access.
Our journalists reveal their affiliation with the AJC when reporting.
