How we work
Represent the strongest case, then test it.
Investigations begin with original public sources wherever possible: official statistics, legislation, court findings, inquiry reports and published research. We distinguish measured facts from estimates, interpretation, testimony and value judgements.
- Serious opposing arguments are represented in their strongest reasonable form.
- Sources remain linked so readers can inspect them directly.
- Uncertainty and important missing evidence are stated openly.
- Automated tools may assist screening and research, but human judgement controls editorial decisions.
Reader contributions
Experience can reveal what averages miss.
Readers can submit concerns, sources and lived experience privately. Nothing is published automatically. Contributions are screened for safety and abuse, reviewed in context and, where appropriate, checked against supporting and challenging evidence.
Corrections policy
Material changes should remain visible.
When reliable new evidence changes a number, context or conclusion, the relevant investigation will be updated and dated. Material errors will be corrected openly rather than quietly rewritten. Readers can flag a possible error through the contribution form by selecting the relevant topic and linking the source.
Independence
Advertising cannot buy editorial influence.
Middle Ground Media is independently published. Any future sponsorship or paid promotion will be clearly labelled. Advertisers will not select investigations, approve wording, suppress findings or receive favourable evidence ratings.
