04 · Editorial Standards

How we cover the work

The network's editorial principles, applied uniformly across all four sites.

Independence

Independent of platforms, studios, agencies, and production companies. No undisclosed relationships, no affiliate considerations weighted against editorial judgment.

Sources cited

Every factual claim links or attributes. Quotes verbatim from on-the-record statements; off-the-record and background sourcing labeled as such.

Evaluation rubric

Reviews and award analyses operate under a published rubric — craft, performance, narrative, ambition, cultural moment — with weightings disclosed.

Corrections

Corrections published transparently with original text preserved and timestamped. The network's editorial accountability is the masthead's standing commitment, not a footnote.

Embargo respected

Festival embargo terms honored without exception. Coverage timing follows the press office's published guidance for each event, screening, and interview.
