Our Commitment to Honest and Reliable Journalism
At ceec-haiti.org, we understand the power and responsibility that come with publishing financial content. Our editorial team is guided by the principles of accuracy, independence, fairness, and public interest. Whether we’re covering government policies, tax changes, or investment tips, our priority is to ensure that our content helps readers make well-informed financial decisions.
This Editorial Policy outlines how we create, edit, and manage content at ceec-haiti.org to maintain the highest level of integrity and reader trust.
Purpose of This Policy
This policy exists to:
- Define the standards and ethics our editorial team follows
- Ensure transparency in how we gather and share information
- Clarify how we deal with advertising, sponsorships, and conflicts of interest
- Explain our approach to corrections, updates, and reader feedback
Our Editorial Principles
1. Accuracy Above All
We fact-check every article before it goes live. Writers must verify all data, figures, and claims using trusted sources such as:
- Official government websites
- Reports from recognized financial institutions
- Press releases and verified policy documents
- Interviews with qualified professionals
We include citations or references wherever possible to allow readers to trace the source of the information.
2. Independence and Impartiality
We maintain a strict separation between editorial and commercial teams. Our editors and writers are not influenced by advertisers, affiliates, or political agendas. Opinions expressed are those of the author, backed by logic and evidence—not promotional bias.
3. Clarity and Simplicity
We write for everyone—not just finance experts. Our editorial tone is:
- Clear and simple, avoiding jargon
- Educational, offering context with every concept
- Respectful, never assuming or undermining readers’ knowledge
We believe that personal finance is for everyone, regardless of income, education, or location.
Editorial Process
Our editorial workflow includes the following steps:
Topic Selection
- We choose topics based on relevance, reader interest, and timeliness
- We prioritize subjects that directly impact our audience such as taxation, subsidies, savings, or business advice
- We also cover international finance where it affects the Haitian economy or diaspora
Content Creation
- Writers research using official documents, live data, and expert analysis
- Financial terms are explained in layman’s language
- Visual aids such as tables or bullet points are used to improve clarity
Editorial Review
- Every article undergoes review by an experienced editor
- Factual data, grammar, structure, and tone are checked
- Errors or unverified claims are removed or rephrased
Final Approval
- The content is checked against our Fact Check Policy
- Metadata, categories, and tags are added before publication
- Links and sources are validated for credibility
Sponsored and Affiliate Content
At times, ceec-haiti.org may publish sponsored content or affiliate recommendations, but these are:
- Clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Partner Article”
- Reviewed by our editorial team to ensure value for the reader
- Published only if they align with our core mission and audience needs
We never allow paid influence over our opinions or reporting. Revenue-generation does not compromise content quality or accuracy.
Corrections and Revisions
We understand that content, especially related to finance, may become outdated or require correction.
Our Correction Approach
- Minor typos or grammatical errors are corrected silently
- Factual corrections are updated with a note or timestamp
- For major updates, a correction box is placed at the beginning or end of the article
- We encourage readers to flag issues by emailing
ceechaiti@gmail.com with the article title and details of the concern.
Reader Feedback and Suggestions
We consider our readers as part of our extended editorial team. You are welcome to:
- Share your experience with a financial scheme or app
- Suggest topics or areas of confusion we should cover
- Report inaccuracies or outdated information
All emails are reviewed and, when relevant, discussed during our editorial meetings.
Authorship and Attribution
Every article is written by qualified contributors who:
- Have knowledge in finance, economics, or journalism
- Commit to factual and ethical writing
- Are regularly trained in compliance with editorial standards
Where applicable, guest writers or experts are credited with full transparency. We do not allow anonymous publishing of articles with financial claims.
Language and Tone
We maintain a tone that is:
- Respectful and inclusive
- Supportive, especially when discussing economic hardship or policy limitations
- Neutral, without promoting or defaming any political entity or institution
- Content is regularly updated to remain culturally sensitive and locally relevant.
Editorial Independence Statement
Our editors and writers work independently of any government, advertiser, or third party. We do not accept compensation for favorable coverage or product mentions unless explicitly labeled as sponsored.
We operate with a reader-first philosophy, ensuring that the information you receive is built on facts, not influence.
Final Word
The success of ceec-haiti.org depends on credibility, consistency, and connection with our readers. Our editorial policy is designed to protect those values. Whether you are reading about budgeting, taxes, or social benefits, you can trust that our information is guided by ethics, not agendas.
