Ethics Policy

Editorial Standards

ActBlue News is committed to accuracy, transparency, and fairness in all our coverage. This policy outlines how we operate.

Sourcing

  • We rely on primary sources wherever possible: FEC filings, court documents, official press releases, and on-the-record statements
  • We attribute information to its source in every article
  • When we use secondary sources, we identify them clearly
  • We do not publish unverified rumors or anonymous claims without corroborating evidence

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and visibly. If you find a mistake in any article, please contact us and we will investigate and correct it as quickly as possible.

Corrections will be noted at the bottom of the affected article with the date and nature of the correction.

Independence

  • ActBlue News is not affiliated with ActBlue LLC or any related entity
  • We do not receive funding from ActBlue, the Democratic Party, or any political organization
  • Our coverage is determined solely by editorial judgment, not by any external party
  • We do not endorse candidates or political parties

Images and Licensing

All images used on this site are sourced from Wikimedia Commons and are either in the public domain or licensed under Creative Commons licenses (CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, or similar). Each image includes attribution to its creator and a link to the source, as required by the applicable license.

Use of AI

We use editorial judgment in all our reporting. Where AI tools assist with research, drafting, or editing, the final content is reviewed and approved by a human editor before publication. We are transparent about the role of technology in our workflow.

Conflicts of Interest

Our writers and editors must disclose any financial or personal interests that could influence their coverage of ActBlue or related topics. No contributor may write about an organization in which they have a financial interest.
