NuvexMedia is dedicated to shaping the future of digital content and journalism. Our NuvexMedia Values are the bedrock of our operations, guiding us as we evolve. We embrace change, innovate constantly, and uphold the highest standards for ourselves and our team. We foster an environment that encourages passion, promotes collaboration, and respects all voices and identities.

These NuvexMedia editorial guidelines are designed to provide clear direction to our teams and transparency to our audience. We understand that real-world complexities cannot be reduced to a simple checklist. Therefore, we encourage open dialogue with colleagues and supervisors about specific situations, believing this is superior to attempting to craft a policy that addresses every conceivable dilemma.

As the needs of our content creators and audiences evolve, our guidelines will adapt to ensure that NuvexMedia’s work consistently earns our audience’s trust. Supplementary guidelines for the specific needs of individual NuvexMedia content channels or brands may be found on their respective platforms.

Subscriptions, Advertising, and Revenue Partnerships

 

NuvexMedia encompasses various content divisions and business lines that financially support our operations. This includes NuvexMedia divisions responsible for selling consumer subscriptions, advertising, and editorial sponsorships across our platforms; advertising through our integrated marketplace; branded content developed in partnership with our in-house creative studio, NuvexCreative; and podcast advertising across the NuvexMedia Podcast Network. Crucially, the operation of these business lines will never interfere with the integrity of our editorial teams or influence the content they produce.

In all instances, the relationship between NuvexMedia’s content and its advertisers or sponsors will be clearly marked or announced as “Presented by,” “Paid Content For,” “Partner Content From,” “Ad,” or “Advertiser Content From,” as applicable.

• “Presented by” indicates content independently created by our editorial teams, made possible through direct advertiser support. Such content is clearly disclosed as “Presented by” the applicable sponsor wherever it appears on a NuvexMedia platform, channel, podcast, and/or social media account. While sponsors may select which content they wish to support, we do not permit our NuvexMedia Sales teams, NuvexCreative, or our sponsors to control or interfere with the editorial integrity of our teams and their content.
• “Paid Content For” denotes content created with funding from an advertiser. Advertisers may be involved in the conceptualization of this content, collaborating on product integration, general topics, or themes in a limited capacity. However, for content designated “Paid Content For,” NuvexCreative or NuvexMedia’s editorial teams retain final determination over the content, and the advertiser has absolutely no control or approval rights.
• “Partner Content From,” “Ad,” or “Advertiser Content From” signifies content provided or paid for by an advertiser, developed by the NuvexMedia Sales teams and NuvexCreative in collaboration with the advertiser (independent from our editorial teams). This content is clearly disclosed as “Partner Content From,” “Ad,” or “Advertiser Content From” wherever it appears on a NuvexMedia platform, channel, podcast, and/or social media account.

Some of our content may contain affiliate links, meaning we will receive a commission for purchases made via these links; a disclosure will always be included within the content.

Advertisements do not reflect the views of NuvexMedia or our editorial teams.

Conflicts of Interest, Activism, and Disclosures

 

NuvexMedia’s content teams operate with broad editorial independence, and our staff and contributors treat this independence with utmost seriousness. They will refrain from participating in any activity that could compromise their journalistic or creative coverage of an issue. Should a team member or contributor have a conflict of interest, they will be recused from coverage and/or publicly disclose that conflict. Conflicts of interest may include personal or family relationships, personal financial investments or donations, or working for or promoting an organization that they are covering.

NuvexMedia also has various investors. Our investors do not influence our reporting or content creation and are not involved in our internal processes.

Use of Generative AI

 

NuvexMedia will continue to explore the use of generative AI tools in specific, intentional, and editorially vetted applications. Our core principles regarding generative AI tools are honesty and transparency. While we anticipate NuvexMedia’s guidelines to evolve with these technologies, we demand the same high editorial standards for all our work, regardless of generative AI’s involvement.

NuvexMedia views generative AI tools as opportunities to enhance our work, not to replace the human creativity, voice, and judgment that make NuvexMedia content deserving of our audience’s time and trust. We encourage and expect ongoing discussions to balance the advantages and disadvantages of these tools.

Any published content created directly using or with the assistance of AI tools is subject to the same rigorous editorial standards and ethical principles outlined in these guidelines as any other NuvexMedia content. The use of these tools will be disclosed as appropriate.

Each NuvexMedia content brand may develop its own more restrictive or prescriptive supplementary guidance at its leadership’s discretion to augment NuvexMedia’s guidelines.

Financial Contributions and Grants

 

Some NuvexMedia content channels may accept financial contributions from individual audience members, but these contributions do not have any particular impact on coverage. Our content channels also occasionally accept funding from grant organizations or significant individual fiscal sponsors to support specific content areas. We do not permit these fiscal sponsors or grant organizations to control or interfere with the integrity and independence of our editorial teams and the content they create. Where applicable, content will be disclosed as being supported by significant fiscal sponsors and/or grant organizations.

---

 

Corrections, Updates, and Deletions

 

NuvexMedia strives for complete accuracy in all content upon publication. If a correction is required, we are transparent and will update a story if new information either adds to or invalidates the original content. We will issue corrections for factual errors or typos that could lead audiences to misunderstand the content.

We almost always leave all editorial content live, with notes and corrections as needed. In rare instances, we may remove content from our websites, social media pages, or related platforms for legal reasons or extenuating circumstances. Removal will never be at the direction of, or influenced by, our advertisers.

---

 

Gifts and Giveaways

 

We do not accept gifts or other consideration from companies as a condition or incentive to create a review or story, whether favorable or unfavorable. Any gifts accepted will be of minor value and will in no way compromise or guarantee editorial coverage of the event, product, or service.

Occasionally, NuvexMedia will conduct contests and giveaways for our audiences. We will publish rules for each contest and giveaway, which will be binding for participants. While giveaways or contests may be sponsored by an advertiser or partner, they are not, and should never be, considered endorsements of the entities involved or their products.

---

 

Social Media

 

NuvexMedia values our content creators for their strong, expert voices and their ability to build positive communities and influence on our social media platforms and their own. All employees are expected to adhere to NuvexMedia’s social media policy, as well as the policies of their respective teams and other applicable guidelines.

---

 

Sourcing

 

NuvexMedia obtains news and content from a variety of sources. Some of our sources prefer to remain unnamed, and we grant anonymity when we confirm our sources are credible and reliable, and that their story would otherwise not be told. We make every effort to confirm the veracity of information provided by anonymous sources and will not include any information we have not thoroughly vetted. It is our policy not to pay sources.

---

 

Harassment

 

NuvexMedia acknowledges that online and offline harassment is a real and growing problem, with potentially life-changing consequences for those targeted. We take seriously the impact this can have on our employees and contractors and will employ suitable measures to protect them.

If a NuvexMedia employee is found to be involved in conducting or encouraging the harassment of an individual, we will take appropriate action.

Summary of NuvexMedia Advertising & Sales Policies

 

NuvexMedia’s Advertising team is deeply committed to upholding the integrity of our company’s values, including truth and transparency, and the continuous pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion within our team and across our network of vendors, contributors, and clients. We strive to reflect these values not just in our culture and partnerships, but in all content we produce and publish on behalf of advertisers.

This commitment is reflected in the following guidelines:

 

General Guidelines

 

• Advertising must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and community standards regarding online advertisements.
• Advertising may not display content that is false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive.
• Advertising may not distribute spam, harmful code, or other disruptive content.
• Advertising must be honest and transparent about their identity and their products.
• Advertising may not promote discrimination or practices that bring harm to underrepresented populations, directly or indirectly.
• NuvexMedia reserves the right to reject any advertisement or client for any reason.

 

Ad Content Restrictions, Generally

 

Ads run across NuvexMedia sites may not:

• Stereotype, inaccurately portray, or attack an individual or group on the basis of age, national origin, race, ethnicity, color, religious affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, family status, or disability.
• Promote or glorify violence, crime, or obscenity.
• Be offensive or disturbing, or likely to cause outrage, general disapproval, or negative opinion within the community.
• Constitute, facilitate, or promote illegal products, services, or activities.
• Contain material that is fraudulent, defamatory, or harassing to any individual or group.
• Portray minors (or persons who appear to be underage) in a manner that is sexually suggestive or otherwise age-inappropriate.

 

Corporate Social Responsibility Advertising (CSR), Specifically

 

NuvexMedia is proud to partner with purpose-driven brands through our social-impact practice, NuvexMedia Impact. As more brand partners seek to publicly declare their role in supporting social issues like gender and racial equity, sustainability, and privacy, NuvexMedia will be ever more vigilant in seeking support for claims related to those issues. As such, we reserve the right to request attestation supporting claims or messages including, but not limited to:

• A company’s DE&I policies and fair labor practices.
• A company’s charitable contributions and other philanthropic initiatives.
• A company’s programs or policies supporting underrepresented communities and victims of bias, including those within their own companies.
• A company’s efforts to drive environmental sustainability, reduce environmental footprint, or combat climate change.
• A company’s activation surrounding “social” tentpoles such as Pride Month, Black History Month, International Women’s Day, and the like.

 

Political and Advocacy Advertising, Specifically

 

NuvexMedia permits political advertising (candidate and party-specific advertising, and issue or advocacy-related advertising) through direct sales channels. Political advertising must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

We will not accept political advertising that:

• Misleads, spreads false information, is deceptive, or misrepresentative.
• Incites violence, intimidates, harasses, or threatens.
• Promotes discrimination or inequity.
• Serves or supports an individual or organizations that have demonstrated repeated or sustained behavior counter to our advertising policies.
• Does not clearly identify who paid for the ad.
• Does not clearly state whether or not it was authorized by a candidate and/or organization.
• Does not comply with all applicable federal election laws, campaign finance regulations, and other applicable state and local laws and regulations.

We reserve the right to verify the original funding source of any advertisement in any medium submitted to NuvexMedia. We also reserve the right to reject any advertisement at our sole discretion.

Note: It is our policy not to permit any political or advocacy advertising on any open exchange across any platform because we do not have the ability to control these ads or run them through the policy above. Even with this policy, due to the nature of the open exchange, there will be instances in which political advertising does get placed on our sites. When this occurs, we will block these ads when they are brought to our attention as they are against our policy.
