editorial policy
This magazine, which bears the name of
Peace Corps Macedonia and the Peace
Corps logo, must adhere to certain editorial
guidelines. These guidelines require that all
content in this magazine be in good taste,
politically neutral and culturally sensitive.
Content should not contain profanity,
advocate a specific religious belief, be
insulting or slanderous, compromise the
safety and security of anything Peace
Corps Volunteer (PCV), nor give the
impression that the author is writing on
behalf of Peace Corps or the United States
government. To ensure that these
guidelines are met, a committee made up of
PCVs, Peace Corps Staff and Host Country
Nationals (HCNs) will review articles for
content.
