Tervuren+ is committed to high standards of journalism. Our editorial policies guide how we gather, verify and publish news. These standards ensure transparency, fairness and accuracy in our reporting.

Core Principles and Guidelines

Commitment to truth

We aim for full, correct and unbiased reporting so readers receive relevant and essential information about Tervuren.

Transparency and integrity

We are open about our editorial processes, funding sources and any potential conflicts of interest. Where relevant we will disclose funding, partnerships or sponsorships associated with content.

Local and community-focused

We concentrate on stories that matter to Tervuren residents, such as municipal decisions, neighbourhood initiatives, cultural activities and local businesses.

Fair and respectful reporting

Our reporting is non-sensational, respectful and balanced—suitable for readers of all ages.

Independent and objective

Tervuren+ operates free from external influence; editorial choices are not dictated by political, commercial or other interests.

Journalism in the public service

We support the Tervuren community by promoting civic engagement and informed decision-making.

Craftsmanship and quality

We adhere to professional standards in sourcing, verification and attribution.

Protection of minors

We follow ethical principles and all relevant European, Flemish and federal rules for the protection of minors in the media. When publishing images of minors we apply consent and due-diligence procedures.
