1. Purpose and Scope
Mission
The Super Prime delivers research-led, authoritative coverage of the global prime and super-prime residential property markets. Our reporting is designed to inform high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, investors, developers and industry professionals operating at the highest levels of the international property sector.
Scope
This policy applies to all contributors, including directors, editors, staff writers, freelance journalists and commissioned specialists. It outlines the standards that govern all editorial content published by The Super Prime.
2. Editorial Integrity & Ethical Standards
Accuracy & Verification
All content must be based on verifiable facts, credible research and responsible sourcing. Market data, financial figures and transaction references are cross-checked against reputable reports, institutional research or primary documentation where available.
Speculation is avoided in news reporting. Opinion-led or analysis pieces are clearly framed as commentary.
Fairness & Balance
We aim to present market developments with appropriate context and balanced insight. When coverage involves reputationally sensitive matters, relevant parties are given a reasonable opportunity to respond.
Attribution & Originality
The Super Prime credits all data sources, quotes and referenced research appropriately. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. All contributors are expected to produce original work and adhere to professional journalistic standards.
3. Editorial Independence
The Super Prime maintains a clear separation between editorial decision-making and commercial operations.
While we collaborate with agencies, developers and institutional partners across global markets, advertising relationships and commercial partnerships do not determine the substance of independent editorial reporting or research-led analysis.
Sponsored features, paid collaborations and commercial placements are clearly identified to distinguish them from editorial content.
4. Commercial Transparency
The Super Prime operates a hybrid media and marketing model, generating revenue through:
- Advertising partnerships
- Premium property listings
- Campaign management services
- Sponsored editorial features
All paid content is transparently labelled. We do not publish undisclosed advertorial material.
5. Corrections and Accountability
The Super Prime is committed to accuracy and transparency. If a factual error is identified, we will review and correct it promptly where appropriate.
Correction requests may be submitted via our Contact page and should include sufficient detail for editorial review.
Where coverage involves reputationally sensitive matters, relevant parties are given a reasonable opportunity to respond. In cases of significant inaccuracies or ethical concerns, content may be amended, clarified or removed following internal review.
6. Use of Anonymous Sources
Anonymous sources are used only when the information is of material importance and cannot be obtained through on-the-record channels.
Where anonymity is granted, editors must understand the source’s identity and assess credibility prior to publication. Anonymous quotations are used sparingly and with clear explanation where appropriate.
7. Responsible Market Reporting
Given the financial sensitivity of prime and super-prime property markets, contributors must:
- Avoid exaggerated claims regarding investment performance
- Refrain from publishing unverified transaction rumours
- Clearly distinguish between data-led reporting and promotional material
- Maintain discretion when reporting on private individuals
8. Use of Artificial Intelligence
AI tools may be used for research assistance, transcription or ideation support. However:
- AI may not replace original reporting or editorial judgement
- All published content must be reviewed and verified by a human editor
- AI-generated visuals, where used, will be clearly identified
9. Policy Review
This Editorial Policy is reviewed periodically to reflect evolving industry standards, regulatory frameworks and technological developments.
