Our Values
At the Freelancer Press our work is guided by a steadfast commitment to principles that shape our journalism and our relationships with colleagues, sources, and readers.
Honesty
We seek the truth, report it with integrity, and communicate it plainly—even when the truth is unpopular.
Curiosity
At the Freelancer Press curiosity is a strength, not a liability. We approach every story with an open mind, knowing that thoughtful inquiry is vital to meaningful journalism.
Respect
We operate on the presumption of good faith. Whether interacting with colleagues, sources, or readers, we uphold the highest standards of respect and dignity.
Hard Work
Exceptional journalism demands dedication. We embrace the grind, relying on empathy, courage, ingenuity, and perseverance to uncover and report the stories that matter.
Independence
Our newsroom is proudly independent, fostering diverse perspectives. Independence drives not just our editorial stance but also the way we run our business.
Excellence
We strive for nothing short of excellence. By focusing on delivering exceptional work every day, we earn the trust and loyalty of our audience.
Common Sense
We treat our readers as thoughtful adults, encouraging intellectual independence and growth. We adapt and evolve as new information arises, embracing nuanced thinking.
