TheMarker.com operates in compliance with the ethics and journalistic principles practiced in the Ha'aretz group, publisher of the daily broadsheet Ha'aretz. TheMarker.com's editors, writers, copy-editors and translators undertake to make every effort to present news in a fair and accurate manner while observing the highest journalistic ethics.
TheMarker.com's editorial policy is based on the following principles:
|
- To eliminate any doubt as to the potential involvement of personal or business considerations, none of the editorial members of TheMarker.com may have any holdings in shares, bonds, warrants, options or in any securities whatsoever, whether trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange or elsewhere. To the best of our knowledge, the restrictions applying at TheMarker.com are the strictest in the entire Israeli business-journalism community.
-
Employees of TheMarker.com may invest in mutual funds and in government bonds. In the event that a TheMarker.com employee writes about a mutual fund or bond in which he or she has invested, full disclosure will appear at the bottom of the article.
- All employees of TheMarker.com are constantly on the alert to avoid conflicts of interest. No employee may accept gifts of any kind of more than symbolic value, including leisure or entertainment services, or involving travel or sporting events.
- TheMarker.com publishes articles, commentary and columns by external writers who are not employees of TheMarker.com, and are therefore not subject to its policies. All pieces supplied by external writers bear a full disclosure at the bottom describing the writer's employment and personal interest in the subjects mentioned in the article, including holdings in shares or other securities mentioned in the article.
- TheMarker.com sells advertising space to companies and to its business partners, in the form of banners, buttons, sponsorships and advertorials. The site makes every effort to avert misunderstandings and to distinguish between editorial and advertorial content.
- TheMarker.com does not sell products and therefore in any case does not receive commissions of any kind from any business for selling products via the site.
- TheMarker.com's employees are all committed to an editorial policy of absolute, uncompromising impartiality.
- TheMarker.com is careful to cite the source of information and/or data presented in the site in any case where information not compiled in-house is presented to readers.
- TheMarker.com is committed to correcting any errors published on the site. Any error discovered by TheMarker.com or brought to its attention is corrected immediately. TheMarker.com also publishes corrections and clarifications as necessary according to the policy in practice at Ha'aretz.
- In the course of their work, employees of TheMarker.com are likely to receive samples of products, hardware, software, or access to interactive services. To preclude the possibility of such samples being considered gifts, the products or services are returned to their source once no longer needed for journalistic purposes.
- News, articles and analysts appearing in TheMarker.com may contain links to other sites, in the interests of supplying full, comprehensive information services. TheMarker.com does not attest to the quality of the linked sites, whether they be to companies or products, nor does the TheMarker.com endorse nor identify with nor agree with the content thereof.
