Everything to run
Russian California is committed to accurate, fair, transparent, and responsible journalism. We serve California communities with a particular focus on Russian-speaking and other immigrant audiences while providing news and public-interest information relevant to the broader community.
Accuracy and Verification
Russian California strives to publish information that is accurate and supported by reliable sources. Before publication, we make reasonable efforts to verify names, dates, locations, quotations, statistics, documents, and other material facts.
When information cannot be independently verified, we seek to clearly identify its source and provide appropriate context. We distinguish factual reporting from commentary, opinion, sponsored material, and other non-news content whenever applicable.
Fairness and Transparency
We seek to present news fairly and in appropriate context. When reporting involves allegations, disputes, or significant criticism of an individual or organization, we make reasonable efforts to obtain relevant perspectives and responses.
Russian California does not knowingly publish false or misleading information. We strive to disclose significant conflicts of interest that could reasonably affect the credibility of our reporting.
Corrections Policy
If Russian California discovers that published reporting contains a significant factual error, we will correct it as promptly as reasonably possible.
Corrections may include updating the article, correcting inaccurate information, adding clarification or context, or publishing a correction notice when appropriate. Significant corrections should be made transparently so readers can understand what was changed.
Minor typographical, grammatical, formatting, or technical changes that do not alter the meaning of an article may be corrected without a separate correction notice.
Reader Requests for Corrections
Readers, sources, and members of the public are encouraged to contact Russian California if they believe we have published inaccurate information.
A correction request should identify the article or publication, explain the information believed to be incorrect, and, when possible, provide documentation or another reliable source supporting the requested correction.
Correction requests may be sent to:

Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently based on journalistic judgment and the public interest. Advertising, sponsorships, business relationships, political interests, or personal relationships do not determine the conclusions of our news reporting.
Sponsored or promotional content, when published, should be identified in a manner that distinguishes it from independent editorial reporting.
Sources and Attribution
Russian California seeks to appropriately identify and attribute information obtained from other publications, government agencies, public records, organizations, interviews, and other sources.
Anonymous or confidential sources may be used when there is a legitimate journalistic reason to protect a source and the information is considered important to the public.
Updates to This Policy
Russian California may update this policy as our publication and editorial practices develop. The current version of this policy will remain publicly accessible on our website.
