== The Open Standard Editorial Policy == | |||
The Open Standard is an online news site that features the ideas, opinions and conversations that show open, transparent, collaborative systems at work in our daily lives. | |||
What will The Open Standard cover? | |||
The Open Standard is dedicated to covering — and advocating for — the open transparent and collaborative systems that impact society on a daily basis. | |||
We Cover: | |||
Policy decisions and their impact on open systems | |||
Profiles of people who impact open systems in technology, education, policy and government | |||
Multiple sides of an issue | |||
The root cause of controversies | |||
We Don’t Cover: | |||
Personal controversies and profiles that are personal attacks | |||
We don’t take a position on products, Mozilla’s or its competitors. | |||
Partisan politics | |||
Issues not related to Open Systems or Mozilla’s overall mission | |||
The Open Standard filters the subjects of our coverage and inquiry through the prism of Mozilla’s values: Does it educate? Does it inform? Does it make an effort to make the world a better place? Does it value the power of open systems? | |||
What is the relationship between Mozilla and The Open Standard? | |||
Mozilla is the parent organization of The Open Standard, but The Open Standard is an independent voice and does not represent the opinions of Mozilla. | |||
Will each Open Standard article be reflective of Mozilla’s worldview / ideals? | |||
The Open Standard shares the same basic values as Mozilla - that accessibility, participation, and experimentation are fundamental behaviors that contribute to a productive environment and world. These values drive our editorial policy. | |||
What is The Open Standard’s policy and plan to cover partners of the Mozilla organization? | |||
We will undoubtedly discuss how other companies participate in the conversation about open source, open systems, the health of the Internet and related issues such as privacy and security. | |||
In the context of describing those companies or individuals and their stands, positions or policies about the topics mentioned, we do not say it's good or bad, we just explain in context of the story. | |||
The Open Standard will clearly disclose the relationship to The Open Standard’s parent company, Mozilla. | |||
What gap in the media landscape is the Open Standard trying to fill? | |||
The Open Standard is aimed at the largely non-techie consumer audience. Our goal is to educate the public on what “open source” and “open systems” means both in theory and practice. | |||
How do you define “Open” in the context of what Open Standard will cover? | |||
Open means infrastructures, platforms, or policies that allow for the greatest amount of participation from individuals or communities. | |||
Is this just another Mozilla blog? | |||
No. This isn’t about Mozilla and is not Mozilla opinion. | |||
What are the editorial standards the writers will work against (e.g. journalist guidelines or quality standards according to a journalistic associations or similar?) | |||
This is a truly journalistic venture. Accuracy, credibility, strong sourcing, solid writing and accountability for fairness is paramount. | |||
