Hey Media’s editorial team strives every day to deliver accurate, thoughtful, and impactful news to communities across the Southland. In the digital media world, misinformation is pervasive, and now, more than ever, journalists need to form the vanguard who maintain the balance of truth wherever news is disseminated. Hey Media leads with its principles and always prioritizes integrity in its reporting.
To abdicate honesty is to be undone.
Hey Media holds its staff to the utmost standards of professionalism and ethics because integrity on the front page starts with integrity in the newsroom.
Our goal is to inform the populace. In order to do so, accuracy will always remain at the front of our minds. Every aspect of our publication, from front page to back, lede to kicker, will be gathered, confirmed, and inked with truth.
The stories we tell will not undergo a chemical change in between the interview on the street and the feature on the homepage. Bearing this guiding precept in mind, our newsroom will also safeguard the wellbeing of our subjects.
Our publication will always empower and never punch down.
We will protect those who are marginalized and respect those whose voices are too often drowned out.
We will deliver the news with balance, carving a path free from the magnetism of any one chamber of influence.
The intention of a published work will always be made clear.
Speech, especially on one’s own behalf, will always be preserved.
HeySoCal editors periodically utilize HeyWire AI’s tools for research and writing assistance for some articles. No article is ever published without human editorial supervision and approval.
This ethics document will be reviewed and readily available for all members of the HeySoCal staff.
