Editorial Policy & Standards

Our Standards

Florida Keys Market Update reports local news and market information accurately, fairly and with clear attribution. Stories are written by named reporters, grounded in identifiable sources, and carry a publish date. We aim to give Keys readers reporting they can act on and trust.

Sourcing & Attribution

We attribute facts to their origin — local outlets, public records, government meetings, named officials and primary data — and we link out to those sources so readers can verify the reporting for themselves. We re-report facts in our own words rather than republishing others' work.

Fact-Checking & Corrections

Stories are checked for accuracy before publication. When we get something wrong, we fix it: email us through our contact page with the article URL and the issue and we will review and correct it promptly. Significant corrections are noted on the page.

Independence & Affiliate Disclosure

Our news coverage is editorially independent. Some pages on this site — for example consumer guides — may contain affiliate or sponsored links, and where they do we disclose it. Those commercial relationships never influence our news reporting or what we choose to cover.

Our Team

Our reporters are named, with published bios and beats on our authors page, so you always know who stands behind a story.
