Editorial Independence & Integrity in Reporting Policy
The War Horse retains full authority over editorial content to protect our best journalistic and organizational interests. We maintain a firewall between news coverage decisions and sources of all revenue. Acceptance of financial support does not constitute implied or actual endorsement of donors or their products, services or opinions. We accept gifts, grants and sponsorships from individuals and organizations for the general support of our activities, but our news judgments are made independently and not on the basis of donor support.
The War Horse also may consider donations to support the coverage of particular topics, but our organization maintains editorial control of the coverage. We cede no right of review or influence over editorial content, nor of unauthorized distribution of editorial content. We will not accept donations from sources who, deemed by our board of directors, present a conflict of interest with our work or compromise our independence.
Our commitment is to accuracy and integrity in all our reporting.
Diversity and EEO Policy
The War Horse is an award-winning nonprofit newsroom that makes war personal by educating our readers about military service, war, and its impact. We are committed to giving voice to the military and veteran communities, challenging stereotypes associated with military service, and holding accountable the federal institutions responsible for our nation’s security through the lens of the people who live those policies daily. Together, we build an inclusive culture that fosters, inspires, and celebrates diverse voices. Consistent with these commitments, we provide employment opportunities – as well as our stories and services – without regard to age, race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, veteran or military status, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state, or local law.
