Editorial Standards
RealAtlantaTV is committed to accurate, verified, fair and accountable local journalism. These standards guide how we report, source and correct our work.
Accuracy
We verify facts before publication and strive for precision in every story we publish.
Verification
Information is checked against primary sources, official records and firsthand reporting whenever possible.
Attribution
We clearly attribute information to its source so readers can evaluate where our reporting comes from.
Sources
We rely on credible, named sources whenever possible and use anonymous sources only when necessary and justified.
Conflicts of Interest
Our journalists disclose potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from coverage where appropriate.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it. Confirmed material errors are corrected with an editor's note where appropriate. Readers can submit a correction request via our Corrections process.
Editorial Independence
Advertising relationships do not determine RealAtlantaTV editorial coverage.
RealAtlantaTV separates independent news reporting, labeled opinion and commentary, and sponsored content. Opinion and commentary reflect the views of the individual author and do not necessarily represent RealAtlantaTV or MegaMedia LLC. Sponsored content is labeled Sponsored, Paid Partnership, Advertisement or Paid Political Advertisement, and is promotional material rather than independent editorial reporting. Acceptance of paid political advertising does not constitute an endorsement.
