Ownership

Ownership and editorial transparency

Not Raw Fish is independently operated. This page explains who presents the site publicly, how editorial decisions are handled, and how commercial considerations are separated from editorial judgment.

Public Editorial Identity

Not Raw Fish is publicly edited and represented under the editorial identity of George McClellan, who serves as Executive Editor and also contributes writing to the site.

Operating Model

The site is run as an independent editorial venture. It is not a wire service, corporate network, or automated content farm. The publication is intentionally small and aims to build trust through clarity, consistency, and accountable editorial standards.

Editorial Independence

Story selection, framing, edits, and publication decisions are made for editorial reasons. Commercial considerations should not decide factual claims, critical judgments, or whether a correction is made.

Where affiliate links or commercial relationships exist, they should be disclosed clearly and handled separately from the editorial standard applied to the article itself.

Transparency Principle

Not Raw Fish aims to be clear about how it is run, how it uses AI assistance, who is responsible for published work, and how readers can challenge or question that work.
