Has Yellowstone Gate adopted a specific set of ethics rules?
Like many newsrooms around the world, voluntarily follows the Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics. As the SPJ states, the code “is intended not as a set of ‘rules,’ but as a resource for ethical decision-making.” Contributors are expected to disclose to editors any conflict of interest, potential conflict or even the appearance of one, and are encouraged to discuss any concerns or questions about ethics as soon as they arise.
Does Yellowstone Gate buy freelance material?
Though we have worked with paid freelancers in the past, we are not currently, as we are reviewing our best practices for doing so as we pursue additional revenue streams that would allow us to expand our coverage and those we might work with.
