OUR EDITORIAL MISSION
At The Third Leap, we’re driven by the belief that understanding the truth should be as engaging as it is enlightening. Our platform merges visual storytelling with deep journalistic integrity, aiming to engage young minds and challenge the status quo.
Every piece of content at The Third Leap—whether written, audio, or video—undergoes a strict process of reporting, editing, and fact-checking. This is to ensure that what we produce isn’t just engaging but also accurate and trustworthy. Here’s how we keep our content honest and fair:
- Balance and Fairness: Every story is vetted for balance and fairness.
- Source Diversity: We prioritize originality and diversity in our sources.
- Verification: All significant claims are double-checked.
Our journalists uphold the highest standards of honesty and respect in their work. They operate independently, free from external influence, committed solely to the mission of informing the public. We have zero tolerance for plagiarism and always credit our sources accurately.
TRANSPARENCY + ACCOUNTABILITY
Editorial decisions at The Third Leap are made independently of our investors, partners, and other external parties. We disclose any potential conflicts of interest that might affect how our reporting is perceived. Pre-publication content is strictly for the eyes of our team alone, and we do not accept any gifts or favors that could compromise our editorial integrity.
We engage actively with our stories’ subjects, reaching out for comments and noting when they haven’t responded. Our reporting aims to provide a well-rounded narrative by acknowledging all sides of the story, supported by robust data and analysis.
Correcting Errors
We strive for accuracy but acknowledge that mistakes can happen. When they do, we act swiftly to correct them in the original publication and note the correction publicly. If additional information emerges that enhances a story’s context, we update our content accordingly with a clarification note.
Editorial Independence
Political activity or affiliations that could undermine our impartiality are strictly avoided. If participation in certain events is essential for reporting, it does not influence our content’s neutrality. We are here to ensure that our journalism is not just a transmission of facts but a trustworthy source that sparks curiosity and drives dialogue.
