Editorial Independence and Corrections.

1. Independence

The newsroom reports on the dating industry, which includes companies we own, advise, fund, and compete with. It will publish stories that are inconvenient for High Intent's other business lines. Editorial decisions are not subject to approval by Platform, Services, Capital, or any owned brand.

2. Disclosures

When a story touches a High Intent business interest, we disclose it inline. Examples:

• Coverage of a company we have advised, funded, or hold a position in.
• Coverage of a company that competes with one of our owned consumer brands.
• Coverage of the white-label platform sector, where Dating Partners is one of the platforms.

Capital coverage carries an additional standing disclosure: High Intent advises on both sides of deals and may be a buyer itself. That dual role is disclosed in every Capital page and on every Capital story.

3. Sources and attribution

• Where possible we link to primary sources: filings, press releases, court documents, official statements.
• We name sources unless there is a clear reason for anonymity, in which case we explain why.
• We do not pay sources for information.
• Off-the-record means we will not publish it. On background means we can use the information without attribution.

4. AI use

We use AI tooling to help draft headlines, summaries, briefs, and to triage incoming RSS feeds. Every piece published under the High Intent byline is reviewed and approved by a human editor or operator. AI is a research and drafting assistant, not the author of record. We do not publish AI-generated images as if they were photographs of real events.

5. The news pipeline

Our newsroom ingests RSS feeds from established dating-industry publications, summarizes and contextualizes them, and links back to the original. We always link to the source. We add operator context, not raw rewrites. If a source publication asks us to stop summarizing their work we will.

6. Corrections

Mistakes happen. When we find or are told about one we correct in place and add a dated correction note at the bottom of the article. Significant corrections that change the meaning of a piece get a correction line at the top, in addition to the bottom note.

Typo and formatting fixes are made without a note. Updates that add new information (rather than correct a mistake) are marked as updates with a date and a brief description of what changed.

7. How to request a correction

Email hello@highintentmedia.com with a link to the article, the sentence at issue, and what you believe the correct information is. Supporting documentation helps. We respond to credible correction requests within two business days.

8. Right of reply

If a story makes a specific factual claim about you or your company and we did not give you a chance to respond before publication, write to hello@highintentmedia.com. We will add your response to the piece where it materially changes the picture.

9. Bylines and the author

Editorials are signed by the operator who wrote them. Newsroom briefs are published under the High Intent byline because they synthesize multiple sources and are the work of the newsroom rather than a single author. Bill Alena, founder and CEO, is the publisher of record.
