Editorial Principles
How we work.
CXOROOM aims to be a credible executive publication. These principles are the standard we hold ourselves to.
- Accuracy
- We verify what we publish and correct what we get wrong. Facts are checked before publication, not after complaints.
- Attribution
- Quotes and claims are attributed to a named person, role and organization wherever possible. We link to sources.
- Corrections
- Material corrections are logged and disclosed on the page. We do not quietly edit history.
- Conflicts of interest
- Writers and contributors disclose any commercial interest relevant to what they cover. Editors manage conflicts openly.
- Sponsored content
- Sponsored and partner content is always visibly labeled and never presented as CXOROOM editorial. It is excluded from editorial recommendation modules.
- Contributor disclosures
- Every CXO Voice carries the author's role, company and any relevant commercial interest.
- AI-assisted writing
- Where AI tools assist in drafting, that is disclosed. AI does not author CXOROOM editorial without human authorship and review.
- AI-generated imagery
- AI-generated imagery, where used, is labeled. We do not present synthetic images as documentary photography.
- Executive quotes
- Quotes are used in context. We do not edit a quote in a way that changes its meaning.
- Fact checking
- Claims of fact — especially statistics and outcomes — are checked against sources.
- Anonymous sources
- We prefer named sources. Anonymity is granted only when the information is important and the source is at genuine risk, and it is approved by an editor.
- Editorial independence
- Ownership and sponsorship do not influence editorial judgment. We decide what to cover and how, independently.
