Publishing Principles & Public Accountability

Editorial Standards & Corrections Policy

Authority Magazine publishes long-form, primary-source Q&A interviews with founders, executives, researchers, clinicians, authors, and artists. These standards govern every story published on authoritymag.co.

1. Primary-Source Verification & Direct Attribution

Every interview published in Authority Magazine originates directly from a named interviewee—conducted either via recorded video/audio conversation or verified direct written Q&A with the subject or their authorized representative.

  • All interviewee responses are published in the subject's own first-person voice and attributed to a named interviewer on our Editorial Masthead.
  • Editors verify interviewee identity, organizational affiliation, and title prior to publication.
  • Pull quotes highlighted at the top of an article are drawn verbatim from the interviewee's on-the-record remarks in that conversation.

2. Editorial Ethics, Medical & Financial Caution

Authority Magazine interviews explore leadership, career lessons, technology, wellness, and social impact. Perspectives shared by interviewees reflect their professional experience and personal viewpoints.

Interviews in our Wellness, Healthcare, and Finance series are published for informational and journalistic purposes only and do not constitute individualized medical, legal, or investment advice. We do not publish hate speech, defamatory allegations, plagiarized material, or unverified medical claims presented as clinical consensus.

3. Editorial Independence & Commercial Transparency

Authority Magazine does not sell guaranteed positive news coverage or undisclosed advertorials. Where Authority Magazine discusses its educational mentorship program (Thought Leader Incubator) or strategic educational partners, those programs are clearly identified on our About and Masthead pages. Any sponsored or partner content, if ever published, must carry a prominent label at the top of the page.

4. Artificial Intelligence & Copyediting Policy

Authentic human experience is the foundation of Authority Magazine. We instruct interviewees to share personal, first-hand reflections rather than synthetic or AI-generated answers, and we never publish fabricated interviews or synthetic personas.

Our newsroom may use software tools to assist with transcription cleanup, grammar proofing, metadata tagging, and headline clarity—always anchored strictly to the interviewee's verbatim transcript and subject to editorial review.

5. Corrections, Clarifications & Updates Policy

Authority Magazine is committed to prompt, transparent correction of factual errors.

  • How to Report an Error: Email corrections@authoritymag.co (or editor@authoritymag.co) with the article URL, the specific passage in question, and supporting documentation.
  • Review Timeline: Our editorial desk reviews correction requests within 24 to 48 business hours.
  • Substantive Corrections: When a factual inaccuracy (such as a misstated date, metric, title, or affiliation) is corrected after publication, we update the article, refresh the machine-readable dateModified timestamp, and append an Editor's Note when the change alters factual meaning. Minor typographical or formatting fixes may be made silently without altering meaning.
