Donor Disclosure
Local journalism depends on community support. Only through the financial commitment of our readers are we able to provide the in-depth, fact-based reporting that our community depends on. However, all editorial judgments are made independently with no consideration of donor support.
WyoFile retains full authority over editorial content to protect the best journalistic and business interests of our organization. We maintain separation between sources of revenue and editorial direction, decisions and oversight. Acceptance of financial support does not constitute implied or actual endorsement of donors or their products, services or opinions, and does not confer editorial influence, nor does donor support imply any endorsement of WyoFile’s reporting, commentary or editorial position.
We are committed to transparency in the funding of our organization. In accordance with our standards of journalistic independence and guidelines maintained by the Institute for Nonprofit News, WyoFile discloses all donors who give a total of $1,000 or more per year.
