Editorial Guidelines

Mexico Affairs is an English-language publication focused on Mexico’s public and private sectors. Our aim is to give readers clear, accessible coverage of developments that shape the country’s political, economic, and cultural direction.

These guidelines outline how we approach our journalism and the standards we apply to our work.

Accuracy and verification

We strive to ensure that all facts, figures, and quotations are accurate at the time of publication.
Where possible, we rely on primary documents, official data, expert analysis, and on-the-record statements.
When information is uncertain, disputed, or still developing, we aim to say so clearly.

If we discover a significant error, we correct it as quickly as possible and, where appropriate, acknowledge the change in the article.

Independence and transparency

Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial considerations.
Sponsored projects, branded content, or partner material are clearly labeled so readers can distinguish them from our regular coverage.
Writers and editors are expected to avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise, or appear to compromise, their work.

Use of AI-assisted tools

Mexico Affairs may use AI-assisted tools for research support, translation, drafting, and editing. These tools are used under human supervision and do not replace editorial judgment.

Editors are responsible for reviewing, revising, and fact-checking material before publication.
We do not knowingly publish confidential, personal, or sensitive information that has been obtained improperly.
Readers should treat our content as editorial analysis and reporting, not as legal, financial, or medical advice.

For more detail on data use and AI-related practices, please see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Corrections, feedback, and right of reply

We welcome feedback, clarifications, and additional context from readers, institutions, and individuals mentioned in our coverage.

If you believe we have made a factual error, please contact us with a link to the article and a description of the issue.
Where appropriate, we may publish clarifications, corrections, or updates.
We may also offer a right of reply or publish responses when they add relevant context to a story.
