Our editorial standards are public because they have to be. Crypto media has earned its reputation for hype, conflicts of interest, and paid promotion dressed as analysis. We refuse to be part of that. Here is exactly how WICG operates.
Every article published on Women in Crypto Global passes through a defined editorial process, follows specific sourcing standards, and is governed by a disclosure policy that is stricter than what is required by US securities law. We publish these standards so readers can hold us accountable to them. If we ever fail to meet them, please tell us. We will correct the record.
WICG does not accept payment, equity, tokens, NFTs, free services, travel, or any other consideration from companies, projects, or individuals we cover editorially. Sponsorships and advertising, when they exist, are clearly labeled. Editorial coverage is never influenced by, sold to, or coordinated with sponsors. The wall between editorial and sponsorship is absolute.
Every factual claim is sourced. Primary sources (official company communications, regulatory filings, on-chain data, peer-reviewed research, named expert interviews) are preferred. Secondary sources (other news outlets, industry reports) are used when primary sources are not available, and they are attributed. We do not source claims to "Twitter," "the community," or anonymous insiders without strong corroboration.
We do not predict prices. We do not tell readers when Bitcoin will hit $100K, which altcoin will run, or how to time the market. Crypto media that traffics in price predictions is, charitably, entertainment. Often, it is something worse. WICG publishes analysis of fundamentals, mechanics, and risk. Price forecasting belongs to influencers, not journalists.
We do not promote specific tokens as investments. We will explain how a token or protocol works, what its design choices imply, what its risks are, and what its place in the broader ecosystem looks like. We will not tell readers to buy any specific asset. Our articles do not contain affiliate links to exchanges or platforms unless explicitly labeled as such (and currently, they do not).
If we publish an error, we correct it. Corrections are noted at the top of the article with a timestamp explaining what was changed and why. We do not silently edit articles to hide mistakes. For significant errors, we publish a separate correction notice. If you spot an error, email us at corrections@womenincryptoglobal.com.
Any conflict of interest is disclosed in the article. If a writer owns a meaningful position in an asset they are writing about, that position is disclosed at the top of the article. If a sponsor has an indirect relationship to a topic, that relationship is disclosed. The default is over-disclosure, not under-disclosure. When in doubt, we tell readers.
We write articles for humans, not search engines. We use SEO best practices because we want our work to be found, but we never sacrifice clarity, accuracy, or readability for keyword density. Our cornerstone articles are 2,000 to 3,000 words because that is what the topic requires, not because Google rewards length. If an article would be better at 800 words, we publish it at 800 words.
Every cornerstone article goes through the following process:
We do not publish:
For corrections, factual disputes, or to flag an error: hello@womenincryptoglobal.com
For editorial questions, pitch ideas, or to discuss a story we should cover: hello@womenincryptoglobal.com
For partnership inquiries or sponsorship questions: womenincryptoglobal.com/partner-with-us
For all other questions: womenincryptoglobal.com/contact
WICG exists because women deserve better crypto media than what the industry has historically offered. That promise is worth keeping. Our editorial standards are not aspirational. They are operational. If you ever see us fail to meet them, we want to know. We will correct, disclose, and improve. That is the contract.
Thank you for reading carefully enough to make it this far. Readers like you are why these standards exist.
