Our Agreement With You

On Using Our Work

We pour everything we have into our reporting. We’re proud of it, and we want you to share it.

Please, post our articles on your social media. Email them to a friend. Talk about them. If you want to quote a section on your own site or in a newsletter, go for it. All we ask is that you give clear credit to Tangent Weekly and link back to the original story. That's the fair way to do it, and it helps other people find us.

The one hard line we draw is this: please do not copy and paste an entire article and republish it. Our work is how we sustain this project. When it's reposted in full, it hurts our ability to keep going. If you have a special request, just ask us at hello@tangentweekly.com.

We’re Journalists, Not Your Financial Advisor (or Lawyer)

We are obsessive about getting our facts right and helping you understand the world. But our reporting is not a substitute for professional advice. We can tell you the story behind a new economic policy, but we can't tell you how you should invest your money. We can investigate the justice system, but we can't give you legal counsel.

Our job is to inform. Your big life decisions should be made with the help of a qualified professional who knows your specific situation.

On Mistakes

We are human. We will make them.

When we do, we will own it. Our promise to you is that we will correct our errors as quickly and clearly as possible. We won’t hide them at the bottom of the page. Trust requires transparency, especially when we get something wrong.

If We Have a Comment Section

The rule will be simple: respect each other. We’re here to discuss ideas, not attack people. We will have zero tolerance for hate, spam, or abuse. This is a place for curiosity, and we will protect that.
