Faceted Media Magazine is an independent business and AI publication. Our editorial work is guided by a clear set of standards. This page exists so readers, sources, and subjects know what to expect — and so our staff has a documented framework to hold ourselves accountable.
Our Editorial Mission
We cover artificial intelligence, business, entrepreneurship, and the people building what comes next — with a particular focus on women-led businesses. Our work is reported, edited, and published by a team that believes in the dignity of independent journalism and the practical value of explaining complex topics clearly.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions at Faceted Media Magazine are made independent of advertising, sponsorship, and any commercial relationships. Our editor has final say on what we publish. Advertisers — including those served through our ad network partner Mediavine — do not influence which stories we cover, how we cover them, or the conclusions we reach. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled as such and is not represented as editorial.
Sourcing
We commit to: Primary sources first. Whenever possible, we report from direct interviews, official documents, public filings, on-the-record statements, and original reporting — not from rewrites of other publications. Named sources by default. We name our sources unless there is a clear public-interest reason to grant anonymity, in which case we explain why in the article. Multiple sources for contested claims. We do not rely on a single source for any disputed factual claim. Linking out. When we cite another publication’s reporting, we link to the original.
Fact-Checking
Every article is fact-checked before publication. For substantive factual claims, we verify against primary sources. For statistics and data, we link to the original source and confirm the methodology when possible. For quotes, we verify against transcripts, recordings, or written statements.
AI Use Disclosure
We use AI tools (including large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude) as part of our editorial workflow — for research, brainstorming, copy editing, and first-draft generation. Every published article is then reviewed, edited, fact-checked, and substantively revised by a human editor before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content as-is without human editing. We do not generate fabricated quotes, fabricated statistics, or fabricated source material. When we quote someone, the quote is real and verifiable.
Updates and Corrections
We update articles to reflect new information when material developments occur. Significant updates are noted with an editor’s note at the top or bottom of the article showing the date and nature of the update. When we make an error, we correct it — see our Corrections Policy for how.
Conflicts of Interest
We disclose conflicts of interest. If a member of our staff has a personal, financial, or professional relationship with a subject we cover, we either reassign the story or disclose the relationship in the article. Affiliate relationships (where we may earn commission from a recommended product) are disclosed in the article and in our Terms of Service.
