Coverage of Founder & Affiliated Organizations

Shaker Global News covers initiatives, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and activities associated with its founder, Morad Shaker. Because this relationship may be relevant to how readers evaluate certain coverage, SGN seeks to disclose material affiliations rather than conceal them.

Affiliated organizations may be important sources of news and public information. Their announcements may be reported, analyzed, summarized, or republished in appropriately labeled formats.

When SGN publishes factual news coverage concerning an affiliated organization, the same general expectations regarding accuracy, attribution, source identification, material corrections, and responsible presentation should apply.

A press release or official statement from an affiliated organization is not the same as independently reported SGN news. Founder commentary is not the same as straight news. Connected-source material is not necessarily original SGN reporting.

SGN should use clear labels and disclosures where necessary so readers can understand the nature and origin of the material.

Shaker Global News welcomes relevant stories, perspectives, expertise, and contributions beyond founder-affiliated organizations. Editorial consideration is open to outside voices subject to relevance, quality, verification, legal considerations, available resources, and editorial judgment.
