This page sets out how The Pixel Gazette operates as an editorial product — who owns and funds the site, how stories are reported and rewritten, and how we handle sourcing and conflicts of interest. It is a living document; we update it when our process changes.
Ownership and funding
The Pixel Gazette is an independent digital publication. Editorial decisions are made by the editorial team and are not influenced by commercial partnerships. When a story touches a company that has a business relationship with The Pixel Gazette, that relationship is disclosed inline in the article.
Editorial independence
Coverage is driven by news value, not advertiser interest. No advertiser, partner, or sponsor has a pre-publication view of editorial copy. Corrections, retractions, and unfavorable coverage are published without commercial interference.
Sourcing and fact-checking
Every news story on The Pixel Gazette is based on a named upstream source. Where claims are contested, we preserve attribution ("according to", "reported by") rather than asserting them in The Pixel Gazette’s own voice. Statistics, quotes, and named individuals are checked against the upstream source before publication.
Conflicts of interest
Members of the editorial team disclose any financial interest, personal relationship, or prior employment that could reasonably appear to bias their coverage of a given story. Where such a conflict exists and cannot be avoided, the piece carries an inline disclosure.
