Introduction to the standard
The media outlet consults the 130 criteria contained in the questionnaire.

Self-evaluation
The outlet answers the 130 questions, identifying any gaps between the criteria and its current practices. It then has the option to publish its transparency report.
02
Certification
The media outlet hires an external, independent auditing firm to conduct an internal audit, which then issues JTI certification if the audit is successful.
