The Philosophy of the Sunday Business Post, Dublin , Ireland, The Sunday Business Post, Ireland's financial, political and economic newspaper, has grown out of, and continues to develop according to, a clearly defined set of guiding conditions, principles and goals: Independence We seek to uncover the reality of what is going on in the world of Irish business and politics; to do this honestly demands a complete independence of expression. We report what we find and do not say what PR releases and political handlers would like us to say. Support for business The well-being of our society depends to a great extent on the success of the spirit of enterprise that characterises our economic system. The Sunday Business Post supports those who seek to create wealth in our society, and it aims to foster a climate favourable to the advance of the business ethic in Ireland . High journalistic standards We have built, and we intend to maintain, a reputation founded on the credibility, thoroughness and fairness of our editorial coverage. There has never been, and there will never be, any attempt either to hide or to be economical with the truth. News, not views We believe in the neglected but still essential value of reporting the news, of recording and communicating the facts, events and developments of the commercial life of the country. You do not need us to tell you what to think. We keep comment to a minimum; when we do comment, it is labelled as such. Accountability This is to be understood in two senses. First, we wish to be accountable to our readers for what we print. If we get something wrong we are not afraid to recognise it and to put the record straight. The second sense of this principle of accountability relates to our role in the life of the business community in this country: our support for business cannot be unconditional. The business community has a responsibility to the society in which it operates. The Sunday Business Post is ready to expose abuses of power and privilege wherever they occur.
