About the TheLending Review Board

When it comes to finances, you can’t afford to be misinformed. By providing accurate and credible content, the TheLending editorial staff strives to equip readers with the knowledge they need to handle everyday financial challenges.

For this reason, we created the TheLending Review Board. The priority of the board is to uphold the editorial policies set forth by the TheLending staff. We want to give our readers confidence that the information on the TheLending Blog is trustworthy, vetted, and reliable. The board reviews content for accuracy, relevance, and clarity.

How does the TheLending Review Board work?

An TheLending staff writer or contributing writer submits an article for publication.

The Lead Editor edits the article for journalistic integrity.

Members of the TheLending Review Board provide feedback to the TheLending editorial team. Some identify inaccurate or misleading content and make suggestions for correction, while others vet content to ensure compliance with internal guidelines.

The TheLending editorial team adjusts content as necessary to improve its quality.
