Standards and ethics

Transparency policy

La Fronde is a 100% independently owned and operated newsroom with no outside investors.

We don’t allow external people or organizations to dictate our editorial coverage or strategy. Our commercial partners and brand sponsors produce their content independently of our newsroom, and any sponsored or paid content carries a clear designation at the top of every newsletter send.

Conflict of interest policy

Writers and editors must disclose any relationship that could create — or reasonably appear to create — a conflict of interest before accepting or beginning an assignment. This includes personal and professional relationships where the writer has a stake in how the subject is perceived. Disclosed conflicts will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the editor, and may result in reassignment or a published disclosure note.
