Editorial standards

How we work

Independence

Editorial decisions are made by our editors alone. Sponsors, advertisers, and directory organizations do not see or approve coverage before it publishes, and cannot request changes to how they are described.

Sourcing & fact-checking

First-person essays are labeled as such and reflect one person’s experience. News & Advocacy reporting is checked against primary sources — agency rules, public data, and named interviews — before it runs.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct it and note the correction on the piece. Reach us anytime at corrections@americanwomenveterans.org.

Sponsor / editorial separation

Every paid placement is labeled “Sponsored” and follows our sponsorship policy, including a fixed list of categories we do not accept advertising from regardless of budget.
