Trust should be easy to understand.
The Goodwire is deliberately optimistic. It is not deliberately careless.
We do not manufacture positivity.
A hopeful angle must be real. We will not hide important facts just to make a story feel better.
We identify our sources.
Readers should be able to understand where the underlying facts came from and follow source links when available.
We distinguish reporting from media rights.
Citing a source does not automatically grant permission to republish its images. Media is tracked separately with credits and rights information.
Advertising must look like advertising.
If The Goodwire ever carries sponsored material, it will be unmistakably labeled and visually separated from journalism.
The Goodwire Kids is ad-free.
Children should not have to distinguish journalism from marketing while using our Kids stories or printables.
We correct mistakes.
When a material error is confirmed, we will correct it rather than quietly leaving bad information in place.
