    Code of Ethics

    Premise

    Always attentive to respect for people and laws, MegaloPreneur establishes this Code of Ethics to reaffirm its principles, moral and social objectives, and trust in democratic institutions. This document underscores the commitment of our journalists, managers, and employees to conduct their profession with integrity and transparency. We recognize that all our behavior will be judged by the law and by the public.

    Mission

    MegaloPreneur’s mission is to create an informed, active public, encouraged to participate in public life through a better and more in-depth understanding of events, ideas, and cultures worldwide. To this end, MegaloPreneur collects, verifies, reports, produces, and distributes information and content that serve the public interest and help maintain a healthy collective living environment.

    Objectives

    MegaloPreneur is a secular news organization that carefully upholds respect for civil rights from all regions and governments. It advocates for inclusion and the valorization of differences, against obscurantist and anti-scientific tendencies. MegaloPreneur is a reference point for those seeking accountability from authorities, demanding transparency, and standing for those marginalized by society. Simultaneously, it reflects and anticipates changes in lifestyles, cultural interests, and societal trends in rapid evolution.

    Credibility and Trust

    The foundation of our work is the relationship with our readers, requiring continuous attention and collaboration based on the credibility of our journalism and the ambition to earn the trust of our community every day. MegaloPreneur adheres to the Trust Project, an international news trust initiative (www.thetrustproject.org), believing that ethical practices can enhance the reputation of MegaloPreneur and its journalistic products. All MegaloPreneur employees, from journalists to technicians, are committed to these ethical principles based on transparency and responsibility. These principles are designed not only to meet existing needs but also to anticipate new ones. Continuous dialogue about applying these principles will help us produce journalism worthy of MegaloPreneur and the public it serves.
