1. Our Editorial Vision
At Maple Meta, we are committed to publishing content that is accurate, thoughtful, and ethically responsible. Our editorial focus centers on the intersection of artificial intelligence, NFTs, emerging technologies, and northern cultural perspectives. We aim to inform, inspire, and challenge our readers while maintaining high standards of integrity, inclusiveness, and originality.
2. Independence and Objectivity
Maple Meta operates with full editorial independence. Our writers and editors are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, affiliate partnerships, or external stakeholders when creating or selecting content. We do not publish promotional articles disguised as editorial content (commonly referred to as “advertorials”) without clear labeling.
If a post is sponsored, collaborative, or includes affiliate links, we will disclose it transparently in the content.
3. Content Standards
We strive to ensure all published content on Maple Meta meets the following standards:
- Accuracy: We fact-check our information using credible sources and cite them when relevant.
- Clarity: We write in a tone that is accessible and clear, avoiding technical jargon unless explained.
- Relevance: All content must align with our editorial themes: AI, NFTs, digital ethics, innovation, and the unique perspectives of the northern tech and design ecosystem.
- Balance: We consider multiple viewpoints where appropriate and strive to present them respectfully.
- Respect: No content will include hate speech, discrimination, or misinformation.
4. Authorship & Attribution
All articles are written by verified contributors or editorial staff. Guest writers and experts are clearly credited. When using third-party research, data, or media (images, charts, etc.), we provide appropriate attribution and respect copyright and licensing agreements.
We do not allow ghostwriting by uncredited third parties for commercial purposes.
5. Corrections and Updates
Despite our best efforts, errors can occasionally occur. If we discover or are informed of a factual mistake, we:
- Clearly mark the correction in the article
- Update the content transparently
- Log major editorial changes where appropriate
We encourage readers to contact us at [email protected] if they identify any factual inaccuracies or ethical concerns.
6. User Contributions
We welcome constructive engagement through comments, feedback, or guest submissions. However, we reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove content that:
- Violates our standards of respectful discourse
- Contains misleading, spammy, or harmful material
- Promotes illegal or unethical activity
We also do not publish AI-generated content without human oversight, editorial review, and clear disclosure.
7. Conflicts of Interest
Our contributors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest, such as personal investment in a technology or company discussed. If such relationships exist, they are stated at the end of the article. Maple Meta maintains the right to decline or revise any content that compromises our editorial integrity.
8. AI & Ethics in Content Creation
Given our focus on AI, we adhere to an internal code of ethics that guides the use of AI tools in content creation. While we may use AI-assisted research or writing tools, final editorial control always rests with a human editor, and any content involving AI outputs is reviewed for fairness, originality, and accuracy.
9. Contact & Feedback
We believe journalism and commentary must evolve in partnership with its readers. If you have suggestions, corrections, or would like to contribute to Maple Meta, we welcome your input.
