Marker’s Ethics Statement

What you need to know about how we conduct our journalism

Marker’s editorial team retains independent control over the subject matter and content published to Medium under the Marker brand. All articles published to Marker are subject to editing and fact checking for truth and accuracy. Staff, contributing, and freelance writers and editors must disclose to the Editor in Chief any personal or financial relationships they may have with a source, individual, investment, or company that could pose a conflict of interest when a story is assigned to them. That relationship will either be publicly disclosed in the story, or the reporter or editor will be recused from participating in the reporting and editing process for that story. In the course of reporting, Marker staff may become aware of non-public financial information, but they may not act on this information or shape our coverage for their personal gain, or for the gain of their friends or family. Expert contributors who are investors, founders, or officers of companies they are writing about must disclose those ties in the text of the article being published.
