We are committed to transparency in every aspect of funding our organization and subscribe to the standards of editorial independence adopted by the Institute for Nonprofit News.
Our news judgments are made independently – not based on or influenced by donors or any other revenue source. We do not give supporters the right to assign, review or edit content. We will not accept funding from any source whom our Board of Directors deems to present a conflict of interest with our work or compromise our editorial independence.
Our organization retains full authority over editorial content to protect the best journalistic and business interests of our organization. News coverage decisions are wholly independent of sources of all revenue. Acceptance of financial support does not constitute implied or actual endorsement of donors, sponsors, or grantors or their products, services or opinions.
Our organization may consider donations to support coverage of particular topics, but our organization maintains editorial control of the coverage. We will cede no right of review or influence of editorial content, nor of unauthorized distribution of editorial content.
