Accuracy and verification

We aim for factual accuracy on every story. Numbers, names, dates, and quotations are checked against primary sources before publication. For market-moving information — earnings, guidance, M&A terms, regulatory actions — we cite the underlying filing or release and link to it where available.

When we cannot independently verify a claim, we say so. When a story relies on a single source, we tell readers that explicitly.

Sourcing and attribution

Our preference is on-the-record sourcing with a named person and their role. We use unnamed sources only when the information is demonstrably in the public interest, the source has direct knowledge, and the person would face material professional or legal risk for being identified. Anonymous sources are described as specifically as the situation allows (for example, “a person involved in the negotiations” rather than “a source”).

We do not fabricate quotes, composite characters, or illustrative scenes. Direct quotations are reproduced as delivered, with edits limited to grammar and clarity and noted where material.

Use of automation and AI

Our newsroom uses automated tools to surface signals from regulatory filings, press releases, and market data, and to draft routine market summaries. Machine-assisted drafts are reviewed and edited by a human journalist before publication. We do not publish quotations, attributions, or claims of fact generated by an AI system without human verification against a primary source.

When a story is substantially produced by automation — for example, a templated earnings recap — we label it as such.

Independence and conflicts of interest

Cayman Journal is editorially independent of any company, fund, or political organization we cover. Our journalists do not trade individual stocks in companies they cover, do not accept paid speaking engagements from sources, and disclose any financial relationship that could reasonably affect their reporting.

Sponsored content, partner content, and any commercial relationship that affects what we publish is clearly labeled. Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct it. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the story with the date and a brief description of what changed. Reader-flagged errors should be sent to [email protected]. See our Corrections page for the full log.

Bylines and accountability

Every story carries a byline identifying the journalist responsible. Each byline links to that journalist’s biography, beats, and contact details. If you have a question about a specific story, the byline is the right place to start.
