Editorial Standards

Every story published by NextLevel Report is reviewed by an editor before release. Claims are verified against primary sources wherever possible, and companies mentioned in our reporting are given the opportunity to comment.

We do not accept payment, gifts, or favors in exchange for coverage. Writers must disclose any financial or personal relationship with a subject before assignment, and are recused where a conflict exists.

Anonymous sources are used only when the information cannot be obtained on the record and the source's identity is known to the assigning editor. Quotes are never altered beyond clarity and grammar.
