Diverse Voices

Its policy dictates that the selection and promotion of its employees will be based on the skills and performance of their professional functions and on the technical and competence criteria defined in the requirements of each job.
Corrections
Any reader can contact the newspaper if they believe the information published is inaccurate and causes them harm. The correction will always be evaluated based on that information, not on published opinions or value judgments that, in many cases, are not the responsibility of the newspaper. Confirmed errors are to be corrected as quickly as possible and to be added at the bottom of the article.
Unnamed Sources
Reporters have the right to keep the identity of their source secret if the source requests confidentiality. However, the policy only allows for anonymity in necessary cases that can be clearly argued. The publication typically publishes all its sources to guarantee the veracity and transparency. It believes failure to provide the identity of these sources can undermine the credibility of the information provided. The editorial board are the only individuals capable of granting anonymity.
