1. Editorial Independence

MetaTrend Europe operates independently of political parties, governments, corporations, and advocacy groups.

Editorial decisions are made solely by our editorial team.
Advertising, sponsorship, partnerships, or financial relationships do not influence what we publish, how topics are covered, or how conclusions are drawn.

All published content must meet the following standards:

  • Accuracy and factual integrity

  • Clear distinction between reporting, analysis, and opinion

  • Transparent sourcing

  • Contextual, not sensational, presentation

We use a combination of:

  • Public records

  • Official government and EU documents

  • Academic research

  • Institutional data

  • On-the-ground reporting

  • Credible media sources

Whenever possible, original sources are cited or referenced.
