FactMv seeks to present the true facts, unaffected by agenda or biases. Our reporters set their own opinions aside as they work to uphold principles of independence and fairness. Inorder to maintain this standard our reporters adhere to the following principles:
We avoid the public expression of political opinion and public involvement in the political process
We don’t make political contributions or work on political campaigns and parties. We don’t sign online petitions, post yard signs, or participate in political marches
We may participate in the political process as voters, because we also have responsibilities as individual citizens. But we keep our votes to ourselves as a matter of principle. Our goal is to be open-minded in all of our work
We avoid expressing political views on social media. We do share news stories and other journalism, but we take care not to be seen as endorsing or opposing a political figure or position. We avoid snarky commentary
This policy applies to full-time staffers, correspondents and interns. We avoid doing anything that compromises FactMv or our ability to do our jobs with independence and fairness.
