Editorial Standards & Ethics Policy

Legacy Outdoors, a publication of CrossCurrent Media Group LLC, is committed to journalism that is accurate, transparent, accountable, and responsible.

Accuracy

We verify facts through reliable sources before publication and prefer primary documentation, direct statements, public records, and firsthand reporting.

News vs. Opinion

We clearly distinguish between news reporting, analysis, opinion, editorials, gear reviews, and sponsored content.

Gear Reviews

Gear reviews reflect our genuine, hands-on experience. When products are loaned or provided at no cost we disclose it. Affiliate links never determine which products we recommend.

Sources

We seek credible sources and provide appropriate context. Anonymous sources may be used only when the information is newsworthy, the source faces legitimate risk, and information can be independently verified.

Corrections

When factual errors are identified, the information is reviewed, corrections are made when warranted, and significant corrections may include an editor's note.

Artificial Intelligence

AI tools may be used for research assistance, formatting, transcription, and productivity. All published content is subject to human editorial review before publication.

Conflicts of Interest

Contributors disclose any financial, personal, or organizational interests that could influence coverage.
