Credibility
Editorial standards
Burlington News publishes source-backed local information. It does not invent reporters, quotes, dates or neighbourhood crime rankings.
Independence
The site is resident-built. It is not operated by the City of Burlington, Halton Region, a political party, candidate or campaign. It does not endorse candidates.
Evidence
Official records outrank campaign claims. Campaign promises stay labelled as promises. Public comments can raise a question; they are not proof. If a fact cannot be verified, the page says so.
Bylines
Use a named reporter only when that person did the work. Otherwise the byline is Burlington News or Burlington News Staff.
Images
Images must match the story and have a legal basis to publish. Editorial visuals are labelled. Photographer names are not invented.
