How we tell stories
Good storytelling begins with careful verification
01
Before sharing photos or interviews, we explain how they will be used and obtain consent.
02
When we describe a change, we include the recording date and the length of the observation period.
03
We share medical details and facility locations only when safety and privacy allow.
