Why Wildflower Standard Was Founded

In a dynamic global media arena, finding verified regional perspectives often presents challenges. Wildflower Standard was initiated in Cape Town, South Africa, by a collective of journalists wishing to deliver factual, deep-dive reporting focused primarily on national resource development, regulatory governance, and civic initiatives.

We operate independent of partisan politics. Our funding flows purely via subscriber patronage, syndication services, and verified programmatic advertisements that do not influence our research or reporting.

Our Code of Ethics

  • Honesty & Verification: We commit to correcting mistakes promptly and transparently while checking every claim.
  • Independence: Our reporters decline external gifts or sponsorships designed to adjust the tone of our publications.
  • Analytical Context: We do not simply announce breaking news bulletins; we contextualise how issues affect communities.
