Funding & Independence
Funding Sources#
OilQuestions is committed to transparency about our funding. This page discloses all significant funding sources.
Current Funding
This is a demonstration site. In a real implementation, all funding sources would be disclosed here.
Editorial Independence#
Our editorial decisions are made independently of funders:
- Funders have no review or approval rights over content
- Funding relationships are disclosed
- Editorial staff are not involved in fundraising
Potential Conflicts#
We acknowledge that any organization discussing oil has potential conflicts:
- Industry funding could bias toward favorable coverage
- Environmental funding could bias toward critical coverage
- Government funding could bias toward policy positions
We mitigate these through:
- Diverse funding sources
- Editorial independence policies
- Transparent methodology
- Welcoming corrections
Why This Matters#
Trust in information depends on understanding who produces it and why. Readers deserve to know:
- Who funds this site
- What interests they might have
- How editorial independence is maintained
