At WP Product Talk, we are committed to delivering high-quality, insightful, and thought-provoking content tailored to WordPress product owners and the broader tech community. Our editorial principles guide everything we create, ensuring consistency, transparency, and value for our audience. Here’s what drives our work:
Our Mission
WP Product Talk exists to empower WordPress product owners with actionable insights, expert perspectives, and honest conversations about building and scaling successful products. Through our weekly podcast episodes and occasional blog posts, we aim to:
- Provide clarity on emerging trends and challenges in the WordPress ecosystem.
- Foster open dialogue about successes, failures, and lessons learned from industry leaders.
- Build a trusted space for product owners to learn, grow, and connect.
How We Create Content
Topic and Guest Preparation
Each episode and blog post begins with research on topics that interest our audience and reaching out to guests who have expertise on those specific topics. We explore:
- Current events and trends within the WordPress and tech industry.
- Relevant best practices and expert insights.
- Listener feedback and community input to address pressing questions.
We ensure all discussions are informed by credible sources and real-world experience.
Conversational Format
Many WP Product Talk episodes feature open conversations with expert guests who share their personal experiences, insights, and opinions. While we thoughtfully prepare for these discussions and guide them with care, the conversational format means that not all claims or anecdotes shared by guests can be independently verified. The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of WP Product Talk or its hosts.
We encourage our listeners to delve deeper into topics of interest and approach all discussions with a critical mind. Whenever possible, we include additional resources to support further exploration.
Fact-Checking
Accuracy of the information we provide is important to us. We fact-check all data, quotes, and references presented in our blog posts to provide reliable information. For guest-led conversations, we strive to guide the discussion toward credible and actionable insights, but we acknowledge the limitations of live, unscripted dialogue.
Editorial Oversight
Our co-hosts—Matt Cromwell, Katie Keith, Amber Hinds, and Zack Katz—bring years of industry expertise to every conversation. Each episode is reviewed collaboratively to maintain alignment with our mission and values.
Editorial Independence
WP Product Talk is an independent podcast. To date, we have never taken any sponsorships or paid content in any form. Our editorial content is not influenced by external pressures.
Corrections Policy
We strive for accuracy but recognize that errors can occur. When a mistake is identified, we:
- Promptly correct the error on our website and in future episodes.
- Clearly disclose the correction to maintain transparency with our audience.
If you spot an error, please contact us.
Commitment to Our Audience
At WP Product Talk, our audience is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to:
- Delivering actionable insights that help you succeed as a WordPress product owner.
- Encouraging thoughtful, respectful dialogue about the topics that matter most.
- Continuously improving based on your feedback and needs.
Conclusion
Our editorial principles reflect our dedication to providing trustworthy, high-value content for the WordPress product community. By adhering to these guidelines, we aim to foster trust, integrity, and meaningful connections with our listeners and readers.
