Our Editorial Standards
Deal for Governor operates as an independent newsroom. We accept no advertising from campaigns, PACs, or lobbying firms, and we disclose all funding sources on our masthead page.
Before publication, every policy claim is verified against primary documents: statute text, budget tables, FEC filings, and on-the-record interviews. When sources request anonymity, editors assess motive, corroboration, and public interest before granting background status.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does the press desk respond to interview requests?
Standard inquiries receive a reply within two business days. Deadline-driven requests should include the publication date, story angle, and preferred format. We prioritize requests from credentialed outlets covering statehouse politics.
Can I submit documents anonymously through your tip line?
Yes. Our SecureDrop instance strips IP addresses and metadata. Submissions are reviewed by two editors. We never reveal source identities, even under legal compulsion, and we will notify you before any disclosure order.
What is your correction policy?
Substantive errors are corrected at the top of the article with a timestamped note. Minor typos and grammar fixes are made silently. Readers who flag errors receive an email confirmation once the correction is live.
Is the newsletter free or paywalled?
The Weekly Policy Briefing is free for the first 12 weeks. Sustaining members receive full archive access, embargoed datasets, and the Friday Phone Briefing with senior editors.
