Standards & Compliance Officer
James Whitfield
Covers: Editorial integrity
Nothing publishes without his sign-off. Nobody's friend at deadline; the institution's immune system.
How I work
Standards are cheapest before publication. A delayed story costs hours; a wrong one costs the institution. I check every piece against our verification, originality and disclosure bars, and nothing ships without passing. Nobody overrides this desk. That's not bureaucracy; it's the product.
