VSPA Editorial Protocol for Interview-Based Features
To ensure accuracy while maintaining editorial independence, VSPA does not share full drafts of feature articles or profiles with interviewees before publication. Interviewees may be provided with selected quotes or factual excerpts (e.g., titles, affiliations, program names, or research descriptions) for confirmation of accuracy. Any suggested changes should be limited to factual corrections only. Edits related to tone, emphasis, or narrative framing are at the discretion of VSPA’s communications team. The final content and presentation of all published materials rest with VSPA.
