Resilience Media Mission Statement and Code of Practice
Mission statement
Resilience Media is a mission-driven organisation founded to support the role of tech in defence and national security. To do this we bring together the military, national security community, tech investors, and most importantly startup founders. We convene them at our events, and our media publication acts as a platform to shape the narrative in this rapidly evolving tech ecosystem. We write news, news analysis, features, and opinion pieces about startups, investment, policy, strategy, and tactics. Our writers develop these stories and we host guest writing from experts, all of which informs this sector and those adjacent to it to support the defence of our democracies.
Our code of practice
Resilience Media is part of Resilience Media Ltd, which also produces events focused on the same principle and mission statement.
Resilience Media will occasionally write about and promote our own events: this will include articles to encourage people to attend our conferences, articles telling you about the speakers and sessions we are lining up, and — when merited, and when sessions are not under Chatham House Rule — reporting on the stories that come out of our events.
We do not publish under specific bylines. Our aim is to present stories from a unified voice. You can read about our authors and their other affiliations here.
We are a team that wears many hats. Writers at Resilience Media are involved in other activities (you can read about them in our profiles). We are committed to taking an ethical approach to our writing and will make clear any conflicts of interest or association our writers or guest writers have that may affect their writing.
We have assembled a senior Editorial Board that will act as an independent advisor to ensure journalistic independence and best practice at Resilience Media.
Our editorial decisions and writing are never influenced by investors, sponsors, or any other forms of payment. We keep editorial and commercial separate across our activities. We choose and reject stories based on their merit and relevance to our mission statement, and we do not accept payment either to be featured in our publication or on our stage at events.
We do not use AI to write stories. What you read has been penned by a human. We do not let AI model builders or others “crawl” our text to train their models. We occasionally might use AI in the course of research, as we would search engines.
We want to encourage discourse and debate in our writing and on our stage. While we support different views, opinions, and beliefs, we operate within a clear understanding that we are in favour of democracy, truth, facts, and the accepted ethics of most Western liberal democracies.
We operate in a high risk environment and moment in history. We are a security-first media company. This means that we put the security of individuals and our national security first. Sometimes we may not name people or companies when we cover them in order to protect them. We also respect the steps taken by government agencies to protect their employees and their work when they are covered by or speaking at our events. We aim to be a safe, responsible platform that can support dialogues and interactions not possible elsewhere. Whilst managing these issues we always operate within the clear code of ethics of an independent media company, and defer to our Editorial Board to support this approach.
