Editorial Commitments
✓
We never accept advertising of any kind.
✓
We never accept donations from news outlets, governments, political parties, or corporations with media interests.
✓
No NCI score or bias rating is ever manually adjusted by a human editor. All scores are algorithmically generated.
✓
Any donor giving over $1,000 per year is publicly listed with consent — or the donation is declined.
✓
ClearSignal will never be sold to a media company or any entity with editorial interests.
✓
Our full scoring methodology is published publicly on the Legal page and can be audited at any time.
✓
Reader email addresses are used only for donation receipts and the optional newsletter — never for targeting, profiling, or third-party sharing.
