Mission

Tweney Media is dedicated to creating and cultivating good, honest writing, because good writing enables clear communication, and clear communication makes the world a better place.

As part of that mission, we look for ways to support journalists and early-career writers. Training the next generation of writers is an important part of fulfilling our mission.

Work principles

The way we work is predicated on excellence: Delivering great work, and doing it in a way that treats everyone involved with respect and fairness.

Great work, on time

We are committed to delivering excellent work, on time and on budget. We are committed to doing it in the right way, without cutting corners. We aim to deliver outstanding outcomes that we can all be proud of.

Do the right thing

We are a creative team delivering services to clients. Without either side of that equation, we are nothing. Our clients and our team are the stakeholders we care about. In our decision-making, we will always prioritize humans and their needs.

Inclusiveness

We know from experience that the most creative, effective, and productive teams are diverse ones, where people with a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints feel empowered to contribute. We aim to foster a sense of belonging and inclusiveness.

Values

Our values guide the way we do business. You might notice that these are not like the values found in a typical corporate statement. That’s not an accident. We’re building a different kind of business here — one we can be proud of.

Peace

We care for life on Earth in all its forms. We aim to conduct our work in a non-coercive way at all times. We do not work with or support companies whose purpose is violent or destructive.

Generosity

We don’t take or use work that isn’t ours. We give credit generously. We are generous with our time and material resources.

Respect

Everyone is worthy of respect and fair treatment. We act responsibly and treat everyone respectfully, regardless of their identity, sexuality, gender, politics, nationality, or ethnic background.

Honesty and transparency

We strive to conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity in everything we do. That includes counseling our clients to be truthful, even when that is difficult.

Wellness

Our aim is constructive, healthy communication. We do not contribute to or support toxic communities, conversations, or products.
