Editorial Code of Conduct

On December 1st, 2018 MoneySense was acquired by Ratehub Inc from Rogers Media Group. The contributors who wrote for MoneySense before the transition are still writing for us today, so the quality of our content has remained the same, and our goal is to keep it that way. MoneySense has an Executive Editor that is responsible for following the Editorial Code of Conduct that was established to ensure the content we produce remains independent,  unbiased, and enables us to fulfill our purpose. Here are the details:
  1. The MoneySense brand will remain a distinct brand, separate from any other Ratehub Inc. brands
  2. MoneySense’s purpose is to help Canadians make sense of their money
  3. MoneySense’s content is written and edited independently and without influence (unless clearly marked as ‘sponsored’). The reporting lines of the Editorial and Commercial teams shall remain separate to ensure editorial independence.
