Conflict of Interest Policy
How OBS Live identifies, discloses and manages conflicts of interest.
Draft — subject to legal review. This document is a working template and will be finalised by OBS Live counsel before public launch.
OBS Live is a platform of the OBS Global Ecosystem. Our audiences are entitled to know when a relationship could affect, or appear to affect, what we publish.
OBS affiliations
Where coverage features an OBS Global platform, business venture or project, the story carries a visible disclosure. Affiliated platforms receive no preferential editorial treatment.
Staff and contributors
- Journalists and editors declare financial interests, close relationships and outside roles relevant to their coverage.
- Staff do not report on organisations in which they or close family hold a material interest.
- Gifts, travel and hospitality are accepted only within published limits and disclosed where they relate to coverage.
- Contributors disclose affiliations; we publish them with their work.
Commercial separation
Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners have no control over independent editorial coverage. Sponsored and commissioned material is labelled and kept separate from journalism.
Raising a concern
Concerns about a possible conflict can be sent to mail@obslive.co with the subject “Conflict of interest”. The Editor-in-Chief reviews every concern.
