editorial policy.
This publication, 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
include profanity, advocate a specific
religious belief, be insulting or slanderous, comprise the safety and security of
any 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.
