Here at OneSub we have sat down 🤔 and put together these values which we feel reflect OneSub💛 :

• ​​​​​​​Social: Does it invite safe discussion, sharing and word of mouth? 
  Be Sociable - Create a safe space to explore ideas rationally and objectively.
• Contribution: Does it help fund journalism in some specific way?
  Contribute - we exist to strengthen democracy and the Fourth estate; ethically, financially and through advocacy for truth, debate and discourse.
• Trust: Does it help the user trust us or what they're reading?
  Build Trust - OneSub is a source of trust. Where scepticism or complexity exists we provide rational clarity within a trustworthy, open framework.
• Open: Does it make us more transparent & accountable?
  Be Open - about what we do and how we operate, transparent about our models and accountable for their recommendations.
• Value: Does it add value to the way news is disseminated?
  Add value - give depth, comprehension and awareness to news cycle to help people know more.

Defining and understanding our values is an important task for all of our employees to ensure that everyone comprehends that we are working towards the same common goal. But as we are an open company we wanted to share it with you, our users as well so you know our thought processes and understand what we are trying to achieve. 

These values define us as a company and what we strive for in every interaction and conversation we have with you. Stating these allows us to share our common purpose and to be held accountable by our users.

These values are also important in how we develop the platform and app, and are referred to when brainstorming new features and throughout our roadmap process.
