| Ethicspolicy |
Loudwire upholds ethical journalism practices to maintain trust with our audience and the rock/metal community. Separating News from Opinion – We clearly distinguish between objective reporting and opinion pieces, ensuring transparency. Avoiding Sensationalism – While we cover controversial topics, we do not intentionally mislead readers with exaggerated or clickbait headlines. Conflicts of Interest – Writers disclose any personal or professional relationships with artists, labels, or managers that could influence coverage. No Pay-for-Coverage – Loudwire does not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage or editorial unless clearly marked as sponsored content. |
| Correctionspolicy |
Loudwire acknowledges that mistakes can occur and is committed to correcting them promptly. Minor Edits – Typos and small factual errors (e.g., a misspelled band name) will be corrected without a formal note. Substantial Corrections – If an article contains a significant factual error (e.g., incorrect tour dates, misattributed quotes), we will: Update the article with a correction notice at the bottom, including the date of the change. If necessary, issue a standalone correction article for widely circulated misinformation. Editorial Transparency – Corrections are made clearly and visibly without stealth edits. |
| Verificationfactcheckingpolicy |
Artist & Album Names – Spelling of artist names, album titles, and song titles is verified against official discographies. Quotes – All direct quotes from interviews are cross-checked with recordings or transcripts before publication. If paraphrased, we ensure the original meaning is retained. Historical References – For retrospective articles (e.g., “Best Metal Albums of the ‘90s”), we verify key dates, chart positions, and significant claims using reputable archives. Context Matters – We avoid misleading headlines or quotes taken out of context that could misrepresent an artist’s words or intentions. |
