Metina lista is committed to creating independent, in-depth, and thoughtful content based on verified information, professionalism, and a critical approach to social, political, scientific, and cultural topics. Our work adheres to the principles of responsible journalism and intellectual integrity, ensuring editorial autonomy from external influences.

1. Editorial Autonomy

Editorial and content-related decisions at Metina lista are based solely on professional criteria, public interest, and the values of independent and critical journalism. In selecting topics, interpreting data, and shaping content, we operate freely and do not succumb to the expectations of funders, political actors, or interest groups.

2. Independence from Political and Financial Interests

Metina lista is a non-governmental organization that operates in full compliance with applicable laws. Funding sources do not influence our editorial decisions, content, or reporting approach. All sponsorships or project collaborations are clearly separated from editorial policy, and we avoid situations that could create conflicts of interest. Our financial operations are transparent and conducted in accordance with relevant financial and accounting standards, with reports accessible to the appropriate institutions.

3. Commitment to the Public Interest

Our primary mission is to provide content that contributes to an informed, reasoned, and open public space. We adhere to high professional and ethical standards and respect the diversity of opinions, particularly when addressing complex societal issues.

4. Separation of Editorial and Commercial Interests

When partnering with external organizations or receiving funding for specific projects, this does not in any way influence our editorial independence or content decisions. Sponsored content, where applicable, is clearly labeled, and we avoid any practices that could mislead our audience.

5. Internal Mechanisms for Safeguarding Independence

The editorial team at Metina lista adheres to self-regulation and journalistic standards. In cases of external pressure or attempts to interfere with editorial policy, we discuss the matter internally and take appropriate measures to safeguard our independence.

6. Accountability and Transparency

We are committed to responsible and fair reporting and openness to the public. Errors are corrected promptly and transparently. We recognize that credibility is our most valuable asset, and we uphold principles of accuracy, fairness, and intellectual curiosity in all our work.
