The Fraternal Chronicle is a monthly print-only newspaper. Because we believe in the permanence of the printed word and the historical record of fraternalism, we adhere to the following ethical pillars:
1. Editorial Independence
Our news coverage is strictly independent. While we value our paid advertisers, their support does not grant influence over our reporting. We maintain a "wall" between our business operations and our editorial content to ensure our readers receive unbiased news.
2. Accuracy and Verification
As a physical publication, we do not have the luxury of "stealth edits." We prioritize getting the facts right the first time. Every article is vetted for accuracy regarding names, dates, and fraternal history before the ink hits the paper.
3. Respect for the Craft
We report on the "outer works" of fraternalism, its community impact, governance, and history. We respect the privacy of private rituals and the internal harmony of the lodges, groves, and chapters we cover.
4. Integrity of the Record
We do not use sensationalism. Our goal is to be an archival resource for current and future generations that are interested in fraternal societies. We use traditional photography and clear attribution for all contributors who are not Fraternal Chronicle staff members.
