Editor’s note pp. 03–04

A useful issue starts with a clear line.

Issue 01 is a field guide for readers deciding where to begin, what to verify, and where to find the latest practical details.

This preview is intentionally selective. It shows the issue’s editorial frame and reading paths without presenting proof-stage advertising or unreviewed assertions as public reporting.

Field guide pp. 10–11

Start with the trail, then check the current listing.

The Ice Cream Trail is the issue’s wayfinding device: a reading path between the magazine, the directory, and the map.

Hours, availability, and route details can change. The live directory and map remain the place for current practical information.

Selected files pp. 05–09

Two shop files from the inaugural issue.

Issue 01 includes selected shop files as entry points for readers. This preview names those files without carrying over the proof bundle’s ranking language or unapproved product claims.

A business’s presence in an editorial file does not indicate an advertising relationship, a paid placement, or a client-services relationship unless a disclosure says so.

Featured business: Glacier Ice Cream

Editorial standards

The line stays visible.

  • Editorial coverage, rankings, and inclusion decisions are made separately from advertising and client-services decisions.
  • Advertising is labeled. It does not buy a review, a rank, a Best-Of standing, or editorial coverage.
  • We exclude proof fixtures, fictional advertisers, and claims not cleared for this public preview.
  • Current practical details belong to sourced public listings; where a fact is stale or uncertain, we label or hold it rather than imply certainty.

Disclosure policy

No hidden relationship.

  • Any paid sponsorship or advertiser placement is visibly labeled as advertising or paid content.
  • If a featured business is also a publisher client, the feature carries a plain-language publisher-client disclosure beside that business’s mention.
  • Editorial invitations never require a purchase and do not promise coverage. Website services are optional and never determine editorial treatment.

Commercial inventory

Available founding-sponsor inventory.

Every placement is commercial inventory, separately priced and visibly labeled. Availability is not a sale, and a sponsorship never determines editorial treatment.
