About Our Editorial Approach
Open Video Project is an independent, non-commercial initiative dedicated to producing clearly sourced informational video content that is freely available to the public. Our editorial work focuses on accuracy, context, and accessibility. We publish material that is sourced from verifiable public records, expert interviews, and reputable open sources. Our process includes research, fact checking, and versioned updates so that viewers can rely on a transparent record of changes. We avoid promotion of paid products or services within the core editorial narrative. Where promotional material appears, it is clearly identified so that it does not interfere with the information presented. Our objective is to support an informed public through accessible explanations and documentation of sources.

Editorial Principles
Our editorial principles prioritize clarity, accuracy, and independence. Every video topic is selected based on public interest, educational value, and the potential to improve understanding of civic, scientific, or cultural subjects. Scripts are drafted from primary or authoritative secondary sources. Where interpretation is necessary, we make opinions explicit and attribute them. Corrections are logged and displayed alongside updated content. Editorial independence means funding and advertising do not alter core content decisions. Advertisers are not involved in research, scripting, or final editorial approval. Staff and contributors disclose any relevant affiliations or conflicts of interest. We encourage external review and provide contact channels for feedback, correction requests, and source verification. These practices are aimed at building trust through consistent transparency and measurable accountability.
Advertising and Non-Commercial Policy
Open Video Project does not sell products, offer investment services, or provide paid business opportunities. We do not provide financial or legal advice. Advertising on this site, when present, is used solely to increase the visibility of our freely available informational videos and to help reach audiences who may benefit from the content. Ads are limited to clearly labeled placements and do not alter or gate core content. Sponsored segments are identified and disclosed so viewers can distinguish them from editorial material. We follow major advertising platform policies and apply stricter internal controls to ensure that promotional content is contextually appropriate and factually accurate. Any partner or advertiser must agree to nondisruption of editorial control, and they are not involved in content creation, selection of topics, or editorial approval. Our funding disclosures and advertiser list are available on request to maintain accountability.
Public Access, Accountability, and Contact
We are committed to keeping primary informational videos and supporting materials freely accessible without paywalls. To support verification and accountability, we maintain a verifiable organizational address and dedicated contact channels. Our team responds to reasonable verification and correction requests. If you believe a piece of content contains an error or requires clarification, please provide specific references and contact information and we will review the submission promptly. We also provide guidance about our cookie and privacy practices, and maintain a privacy policy that explains how limited tracking is used to improve site performance and reach. Where appropriate, we publish summaries of funding sources and partnerships so the public can assess potential influences.
