Our Editorial Policy

Editorial Independence 

Our organization seeks to create and maintain a diverse portfolio of revenue streams in the interest of our long term sustainability and capacity. We maintain boundaries between our editorial practices and business interests to protect the integrity of our work and ethically serve our audiences. No form of financial support including grants, donations, sponsorships or advertising influences editorial decisions and our coverage is not an endorsement of any donor, sponsor or advertiser. 

No person covered by this policy can be in the business of lobbying or creating content on behalf of a political candidate, politician or lobbying entity nor can they work for a state, local, or municipal government entity or be a member of Congress.
