Ethics and Editorial Conduct

Independence

HoyMX's newsroom makes editorial decisions. Not advertisers, not political actors, not government entities.

Conflicts of interest

Journalists declare relevant personal or financial interests. Confirmed conflicts result in reassignment.

Accepting gifts and hospitality

We don't. Third-party-funded press trips are disclosed in the relevant coverage.

Source protection

We protect the identities of confidential sources. Given Mexico's security environment, source protection is treated with particular seriousness by our team.

Reporting on crime and violence

We follow established safety protocols for covering organised crime, cartels and politically sensitive investigations. We do not expose sources, informants or individuals to increased risk through our reporting.

Presumption of innocence

We are careful to distinguish between allegations, charges and convictions in criminal coverage.
