Vox

Vox says it works to be fair and empathetic to all perspectives, and its ethics guidelines tell staff not to demonstrate for or donate to causes that could compromise their coverage. No editorial board or endorsements were found.

Editorial record means the rating rests on the outlet's documented record, such as its editorial board's endorsements, the stated purpose it was founded for, its opinion lineup or its published commitments such as an ethics policy. Scope: Whole outlet · US politics. Confidence: medium. What these mean

Evidence

• About page: an explanatory newsroom that says it gathers a range of perspectives and is clear about its views, without naming a political direction. “be fair and empathetic to all perspectives” (Vox)
• Ethics and guidelines page: limits staff activism and donations, requires disclosure of relevant political activity, and says funders do not affect editorial independence. “refrain from demonstrating in support of or donating to causes” (Vox)

Limits of this rating

• No clear direction means no documented direction was found, not that coverage is balanced. Vox says it is clear about its views without naming them, and this rating does not assess them.
• This rating describes the outlet's stated policies, not its accuracy or every article.
