The Editorial Team

Our Editorial Team

TheHansFordReview’s newsroom is led by an Editor-in-Chief, working with a Managing Editor and section editors for Politics & Policy, Business & Economy, and Culture & Ideas. Fact-checkers and copy editors support rigorous review. Contributors are chosen for subject expertise and are edited to a consistent style.

Editorial Line

We publish evidence-led reporting, analysis, and commentary with a UK focus and global context. Verifiable facts, clear sourcing, and contextual explainers underpin our coverage. Editorial independence is paramount: commercial interests do not shape our choices, and advertising is kept strictly separate from editorial content.

Journalistic Values

Accuracy, fairness, and integrity guide our work. We seek diverse perspectives, offer a right of reply where appropriate, and correct material errors promptly with transparent, dated notes. Source protection is respected where anonymity is justified in the public interest.

Journalistic Ethics and Deontology

We adhere to the Editors’ Code of Practice and the spirit of the NUJ Code, and comply with UK law, including the Defamation Act 2013, Data Protection Act 2018/UK GDPR, copyright, and contempt restrictions. Conflicts of interest are disclosed; gifts and inducements are refused.
