Membership: Power Real Accountability

Dues from supporting members underwrite travel, records fees, secure data storage, and pro-bono legal challenges that unlock hidden information. At this time, CW is not admitting new members in order to protect ongoing investigations.

Corner Watch Code of Ethics

We adopt the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics and tailor it to our investigative model.

Seek Truth and Report It

Verification first. We confirm facts with at least two independent sources or primary documents.

Context matters. Statutory text, data methodology, and raw excerpts accompany major findings.

Labeling. Analysis and opinion pieces carry clear “Commentary” tags.

Minimize Harm

Withhold personal identifiers (addresses, SSNs, medical details) unless essential to the story.

Act Independently

Corner Watch accepts no income from sponsorship.

All material funding comes from PMA membership dues and small-donations from those in the general public who appreciate our works.

Staff, contractors, and volunteers must display the highest ethical and moral standards at all times and refrain from partisan endorsements.

Be Accountable and Transparent

Corrections policy. Factual errors are corrected within 48 hours.

Open door. Concerns may be sent to [email protected]; encrypted options available on request.

Source Security & Confidentiality

First contact: Tips may be submitted anonymously via our email address (provided above).

Privilege assertion: We will assert shield-law protections for any confidential source absent a voluntary waiver.

Data retention: Original materials are retained in encrypted cold storage for a minimum of six years, then re-evaluated for public-interest value.
