About OU Daily
Ethics & values
Independence
We've been OU and Norman's independent student voice since 1916. No content is influenced by the university, advertisers or anyone outside our staff. Read our charter →
Accuracy
Every name, number and fact must be correct. Errors are corrected with a note atop stories. Submit a correction →
Professionalism
We hold ourselves to professional media standards while recognizing our student-run newsroom is a place to learn.
Fairness & inclusivity
We represent all views with context, never distort facts and welcome all. Our reporting is unequivocal that issues like racism, sexism and homophobia are wrong.
Transparency
We don't alter images beyond light editing or crops. We don’t use AI in published work without disclosure. Anonymity, which we rarely grant, requires editor approval.
Conflicts of interest
Our journalists won't make public political stances, cover organizations they're part of or root for teams they cover.
