Transparency and standards

Conflicts

Conflict disclosures and recusal expectations matter because OZJF is asking readers to trust both its evidence and its institutional judgment.

Conflicts and recusal

A conflict page should explain how OZJF handles financial, organizational, and editorial conflicts that could influence public judgment. The standard is not the absence of relationships. The standard is visible disclosure and sensible recusal when a relationship creates a real risk to trust.

What belongs on this page

A complete version of this page should eventually state whether leadership, contributors, or advisors have relationships that should be disclosed when relevant to a published piece or campaign. It should also explain who decides whether recusal is needed.

Current state

The current public site does not yet publish a named recusal policy, disclosed conflict register, or board-level conflict process. That means this page should describe the standard clearly while remaining candid about the fact that the underlying records are not yet public.

Editorial principle

If a relationship could materially affect how a reasonable reader views a page, OZJF should disclose it rather than leave the reader to discover it elsewhere.
