Caribbean Television Network (CTN) Ethics and Editorial Policy Statement
At Caribbean Television Network (CTN), our purpose stems from an unwavering dedication to authenticity, fairness, and visibility. We serve to elevate Caribbean and immigrant voices traditionally overlooked by conventional media outlets. As a network owned by Black immigrants, our ethical principles emphasize openness, responsibility, and uncompromising journalistic standards.
Editorial Independence
CTN preserves absolute editorial autonomy. Our coverage remains independent from political organizations, commercial interests, or advocacy groups. We base our content decisions purely on community impact and significance to our target audiences.

Community-Centered Journalism
Our content reflects genuine immigrant perspectives. We emphasize multiple language coverage and culturally sensitive reporting to deliver content that resonates with, includes, and strengthens our viewers. We stand against rhetoric that diminishes or vilifies migrants.
Equity and Anti-Bias
CTN deliberately confronts damaging prejudices, addresses systemic barriers, and celebrates the achievements, determination, and impact of marginalized groups. We examine each story through anti-racist and decolonial perspectives, acknowledging interconnected social inequities.
Source Responsibility
We safeguard vulnerable sources from potential harm or consequences. We neither compensate for interviews nor publish unconfirmed information. We prioritize varied, reliable perspectives while avoiding sensationalized coverage that perpetuates harm.
Corrections and Transparency
Upon discovering factual errors, we implement corrections immediately. We value community input and view accountability as fundamental to our public service mission.
