Editorial standards

Why we publish

Nia sits inside the daily reality of industrial migration, the housing, the payroll, the travel, the paperwork. That vantage point creates an obligation. We publish what we see so that employers, policymakers, and workers can make decisions on evidence rather than assumption.

Accuracy first

Every number we publish is traceable to a system of record, our own operations data, a named external source, or a government dataset we cite in full. We do not round in our own favor. When we estimate, we say so, and we show the basis for the estimate.

Sourcing

We prefer named, on-the-record sources. When we protect a source's identity, often a worker who could face retaliation, we explain why anonymity was granted and what we did to verify the account independently. A single anonymous account is never the sole basis for a factual claim.

Independence

Commercial relationships never dictate coverage. When we write about a partner, a customer, or our own performance, we disclose the relationship in the piece. Reporting that reflects poorly on Nia is published to the same standard as everything else.

The people we cover

We report on migrant workers with dignity and precision. We do not publish images or details that would expose someone to harm, and we give people a meaningful chance to respond before we publish claims about them.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it in the open and log it on our corrections page. We do not quietly edit the record.
