Editorial Standards and Publishing Principles

News and Insights is the publishing arm of the Courtney Jordan Foundation. It reports on the Foundation’s programmes, people and regional foundations, and publishes perspectives and research on development, enterprise and philanthropy. These principles govern everything published on courtneyjordanfoundation.org.

Who is responsible

Publishing is overseen by the Foundation’s leadership. The Spokesperson and Communication Strategist leads the Foundation’s global messaging and public engagement. Articles are reviewed before publication by a member of the leadership team who did not write them. The people responsible are listed on our Leadership page, and every author has a profile.

What we publish, and how it is labelled

• Foundation News and Announcements: factual reporting on the Foundation’s activities, appointments and programmes.
• Press Releases: official statements issued by the Foundation, labelled as such.
• Perspectives: commentary and analysis. Perspectives represent the views of their named authors and are clearly separated from news.
• Research: long-form papers, with abstracts and references where applicable.
• Stories: first-hand accounts from people and communities, published with their consent.

Accuracy and attribution

We report what we can verify. Figures about the Foundation’s work are checked against Foundation records and, wherever they appear, are shown with the period they cover and their source. Quotations are attributed to named people and are not altered in meaning. Material from other organisations is credited and linked. See our Verification and Fact-Checking Policy.

Bylines, dates and updates

Every article carries a byline, the date it was first published and, where it has been changed, the date of the last update. Original publication dates are never altered. Articles written collectively are credited to the Courtney Jordan Foundation.

Images and film

Photographs and films show real people, places and events and are captioned accurately. We obtain consent before publishing identifiable images of the people we work with, and take particular care with images of children. Illustrations and graphics are clearly decorative and are never presented as documentary evidence of Foundation work.

Independence and disclosure

The Foundation does not publish paid or sponsored content. Several leaders hold roles with Neyius, the family office that manages Courtney Jordan’s holdings; where an article concerns Neyius or an affiliated company, the relationship is disclosed. Our funding and governance are described on our Ownership, Funding and Governance page, and our approach to conflicts of interest in our Ethics Policy.

Corrections and feedback

We correct errors promptly and transparently. Read our Corrections and Feedback Policy or write to info@courtneyjordanfoundation.org.
