  -		<p>We hold ourselves to the same standard of transparency that we aim to achieve for the immigration detention network, and believe that our methods are improved by being public. Our methodology for processing data will be published with each dataset we analyse. We will also publish our processes for investigation, data processing and publish, as we have drawn on what others have published in turn. </p>
  +		<p>Detention Logs is part of a growing community of individuals and institutions that
  +are committed to enhancing transparency in governments around the world. Our
  +particular focus is on Australia’s immigration detention centres, which have long
  +been shielded from public scrutiny. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship,
  +and the private organisations that work on their behalf, should be accountable to
  +the public for their actions. </p>

  		<p>What new uses and meanings will the information we publish today have in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years? Similar records from just a century ago are treasured by historians and researchers for providing insight into our society’s past attitudes and policies.</p>
  		
  		<p>We cannot predict how our work will be used in the future, but must protect the potential for it to be used in powerful, novel ways by being as open and interoperable as posible.</p>
  		
  		<p>In our explanations we should be as clear as possible and not assume prior knowledge. We will protect our urls and attempt to support groups like Trove, Internet Archive, Pandora etc. in archiving our work for long term accessability.</p>

  		<li><p>Our reporting aims to uncover the truth about events in immigration detention and provide a voice for marginalised asylum seekers and refugees through rigorous investigation. Our reporting efforts will draw on the data we have obtained and other sources to verify it’s accuracy.</p></li>
  		<li><p>Fairness in reporting doesn’t mean that our reports will always be balanced. We won’t publish statements from government agencies, corporations or other entities simply to fill page space if those statements have low value. A factual proposition does not need to be weighed evenly against a counter proposition if the counter proposition&#8217;s probative value is low. </p></li>

  		<p>Source protection is an inviolable principle of journalism. We will never betray anonymity we grant to sources.</p>
  		
  		<p>We will protect the privacy of asylum seekers who may be exposed to harm or risk. Asylum seekers have a legitimate expectation of privacy in information that may identify them, and we will respect that expectation in our reporting. But in circumstances where asylum seekers consent to the use of identifying information, and where there is a public interest in it’s release, we will publish personal details.</p>
  		
  		<p>We will not grant anonymity to government spokespersons. If a person is speaking on behalf a government minister or agency then they should be accountable for those statements. With anonymity can come deniability—official spokespersons should not be able to deny statements they have made in response to inquries by the public. There is an expectation that anything a person says is on the record, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Public servants weild considerable power in our society and should be transparent in the ways they engage with journalists and the public.</p>

  		<p>By making ourselves open and transparent we become more accountable for our actions
  		and are held to a high standard. Our community of users deserve to know [who we are
  		and how we work](http:/detentionlogs.com.au/about), just as they deserve to know the
  		details of the operations of government departments and private companies who act on
  		their behalf.</p>
  
  		<p>Australian government agencies should develop programs to publish data more
  		proactively, to increase accountability of the public service and the public’s
  		engagement with it. <a href="http://agimo.gov.au/files/2013/03/Big-Data-Strategy-Issues-Paper1.pdf">The Department of Finance and Deregulation presented an issues
  		paper on Big Data in March
  		2013</a> which
  		said “Big data allows for more focused and evidence-based policy design” and
  		developing proactive data publishing programs may result in “reduction of fraudulent
  		or criminal activity across both government and private sectors”.</p>
  
  		<p>We aim to encourage proactive publication of immigration detention data and will
  		actively campaign to facilitate this access. To achieve this we will set an example
  		with our own publishing standards. Our data and documents should be available for
  		reuse, republishing and remixing. When making publishing decisions we always start
  		from a default position of openness using a Creative Commons Attribution license,
  		and then adding responsible restrictions if necessary (for example, our
  		investigations text will be available under a Creative Commons Attribution,
  		*Non-Commercial* Share-Alike license).</p>

  		<p>The primary goal of Detention Logs is to provide the public with the facts they need
  to better understand the reality of Australia’s immigration detention network.
  Across our editorial, design and publishing practices, we judge the success of our
  choices against how our work is used to support more informed policy discussion and
  challenge inhumane policy based on spin. We provide information to be engaged with
  and pulled apart, rather than just accepted passively, by our users.</p>
