Editorial Policy
Last updated: Prototype draft — review before publishing
Sourcing
Stories are drawn from licensed RSS/API feeds, official studio and press announcements, and verified public social accounts an editor or administrator has explicitly authorised (see our source-management workflow). We do not scrape competing outlets or bypass paywalls, logins or robots.txt.
Original writing, always
We never publish another outlet's article text verbatim. Every story is either written independently by a member of our editorial team, or drafted with AI assistance from a headline and our own reporting — and AI-assisted drafts are clearly labelled "AI-assisted summary" and must be reviewed and approved by a human editor before publishing.
Verification labels
Every story carries one of five labels, and we never present a lower tier as if it were a higher one:
- Confirmed — verified by us or multiple credible sources.
- Official Announcement — a direct statement from the studio, platform or individual involved.
- Reported — attributed to a named publication or source, not yet independently confirmed.
- Industry Buzz — circulating among industry insiders, unconfirmed.
- Unverified Rumour — unconfirmed chatter, presented explicitly as such.
Publishing workflow
Every story moves through Draft → In Review → (Scheduled or Rejected) → Published, with role-based approval: Writers can draft and submit; only Editors and Administrators can approve, schedule, publish, unpublish, reject or archive. RSS-imported items land in a review queue and are never auto-published — an editor must approve one into a draft, which then still needs its own original summary and its own publish approval.
Corrections
See our corrections policy for how we handle and disclose errors.
