Editorial Standards and Corrections
About The Rio Times
The Rio Times is an independent, English-language news publication covering Brazil and Latin America for an international readership. Founded in 2009 and based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, The Rio Times is owned and operated by Matthias Camenzind, who serves as Publisher and Editor-in-Chief.
The publication is funded through premium memberships, advertising, and commercial partnerships. These arrangements do not influence editorial decisions, which are made independently by the editorial team.
Sourcing and Verification
Our reporting is independently written and sourced by The Rio Times editorial team. We do not publish machine translations or republished content from Portuguese-language media.
Articles are based on original reporting, primary sources, official data, public records, and reputable local and international media. On complex or sensitive topics, we seek confirmation from multiple independent sources whenever possible. Facts, figures, names, dates, and quotations are verified before publication.
Editorial Independence
The Rio Times maintains editorial independence from political parties, governments, corporations, and advocacy groups. Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, or external partners.
Opinion and analysis pieces are clearly labelled and distinguished from straight news reporting.
Accuracy and Fairness
We present information in context and reflect relevant viewpoints where appropriate. Our goal is to inform readers clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism or distortion.
Corrections Policy
Factual errors identified after publication are corrected promptly. Corrections are made directly in the article, and a note is added when the change materially affects the meaning or interpretation of the story.
We maintain a record of significant corrections. Readers who believe an error has occurred are encouraged to contact the editorial team.
Use of Technology
Digital tools may be used to assist with research, translation support, or editorial workflows. All editorial content is reviewed and approved by human editors before publication. Responsibility for published material rests with the editorial team.
