Driven Wyld Editorial Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Approved by: Joe Mandracchia, Editor-in-Chief

Purpose & Scope

This Editorial Policy governs all content published under Driven Wyld Inc. and its affiliated brands, including but not limited to:

• YouTube videos, livestreams, and podcast episodes

• Blog posts and articles on drivenwyld.com

• Social-media posts, press releases, and public statements

• RMDA-related publications, proposals, or documentation

The goal is to ensure accuracy, accountability, and integrity across every platform representing Driven Wyld Inc. and its partners.

Accuracy & Verification

• All factual information must be verified against reliable sources, firsthand documentation, or direct communications with relevant parties before publication.

• Legal, contractual, or partner-related claims (e.g., RMDA, ezCater, vendor or affiliate partnerships) must undergo additional verification prior to release.

• Any statistical or financial claims should reference their source when possible.

Updates & Corrections

• Every published article, blog post, or video description must include a “Last Updated” date when edits occur.

• Significant edits or context changes require an “Update Notice” briefly explaining what changed and why.

• If an error is found, a “Correction Notice” will be issued within the same post or an appended note, identifying the correction in plain language.

Conflicts of Interest

• Any post, video, or communication discussing partners, affiliates, or companies that Driven Wyld works with must include a clear disclosure (e.g., “This post contains affiliate links…”).

• Sponsorships, partnerships, or affiliate relationships never influence editorial conclusions or opinions.

• Staff and contributors must disclose any financial or personal connections that could be perceived as bias.

Tone & Representation

• Driven Wyld content maintains a professional, fair, and evidence-based tone while advocating for transparency and driver rights within the gig economy.

• Avoid defamatory, inflammatory, or retaliatory language—especially regarding active disputes, lawsuits, or investigations.

• Critiques must focus on verifiable behavior or policy issues, not personal attacks.

Approval & Accountability

• All final content releases (articles, videos, press statements) require approval from Joe Mandracchia, Editor-in-Chief.

• An internal changelog is maintained for every significant edit, update, or removal.

• Any staff, partner, or contributor found to have knowingly violated this policy may be subject to removal from publication roles.

Retention & Archiving

• Archived copies of original posts, videos, and scripts will be retained for legal, compliance, and transparency purposes.

• Deleted or retracted content must remain accessible internally for reference and recordkeeping.

Public Transparency

A public-facing summary of this Editorial Policy may be posted on the Driven Wyld website’s About / Press / Compliance page to demonstrate editorial integrity. Internal documentation—including changelogs and review notes—remains confidential.
