Ethics Policy

Editorial independence

Analyzing Market is editorially independent. Advertisers, sponsors, partners and sources do not decide what we cover or how. Decisions about coverage rest solely with the editorial team, guided by the public interest and our editorial guidelines.

Conflicts of interest

We avoid conflicts of interest and disclose them when they are unavoidable. Contributors must tell editors about any relationship — financial, personal or professional — that could reasonably be seen to affect their objectivity, and may be reassigned to prevent a conflict.

Personal financial holdings

Crypto is our subject, so we take holdings seriously. Contributors disclose material positions in assets they write about, and do not trade on the basis of unpublished information or write about an asset to move its price. Where a holding is relevant to a story, it is disclosed in the piece.

Gifts, hospitality and travel

We do not accept gifts, payments, tokens, allocations or hospitality intended to influence coverage. Modest, openly offered items of nominal value are the only exception, and significant offers are declined or disclosed.

Sourcing and attribution

We treat sources fairly, honour agreed terms, and protect confidential sources who face genuine risk. We are honest about how information was obtained and do not misrepresent ourselves to get a story.

Plagiarism and originality

Plagiarism and fabrication are firing offences. We produce original work, credit others’ reporting and ideas, and never copy text, data or images without permission and attribution.

Accuracy and accountability

We own our mistakes. When we get something wrong we correct it openly through our corrections process, and we are willing to explain and stand behind our work.

Privacy and harm

We weigh the public interest against potential harm, respect individual privacy, and take particular care with vulnerable people and with information that could be used to defraud or endanger readers.

Fairness and diversity

We strive to be fair, to represent a range of perspectives, and to avoid bias and stereotyping in our reporting and language.

Raising a concern

If you believe we have fallen short of these standards, please tell us through our contact page. We take such concerns seriously and respond.
