Culture and identity
Reporting should expose dehumanization without helping it travel farther.
The newsroom can explain a racist message, identify its origins and show its consequences without repeating the most harmful frame for clicks.

Editorial standard
Clear sourcing. Visible perspective. No manufactured certainty.
Sources remain visible
Reports identify the records, releases, institutions and credited images used to build the story.
Reporting and perspective are distinct
Verified information is not presented as opinion, and FMB reflection is not disguised as neutral reporting.
Corrections remain possible
New evidence can change the record. The newsroom should correct clearly rather than defend an avoidable error.
People are not content objects
Images, language and framing must protect dignity, especially when reporting on communities facing harm.
From the founder
Context is not decoration. It is the difference between information and understanding.
FMB News Center is designed to slow down the parts of a story that deserve care: the source, the people affected, the history around the event and the difference between what is known and what is being argued.
