News

 

Popverse reports stories as we see them, and we strive to be fair, accurate, and comprehensive in our reporting. Our editorial content may express a point of view on a story, but we will always uphold our standards of honesty, transparency, impartiality, and value to the reader.

When we report on stories that reflect on individuals or organizations in a manner which they may disagree with, we will seek comment directly and offer them an opportunity to respond. Stories will be updated with the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, and/or supplemented with a follow-up story as necessary. If you believe you have something to add to a story we have reported or feel you deserve the right to respond, please contact the team.

When it comes to rumor, speculation, and unsubstantiated claims, we will be clear in the source(s) of the information and attempt to verify the information with credible sources.

Any potential factual errors we are informed of will be verified and corrected as necessary, with a disclaimer or notice of correction.

We respect the request of any sources to remain anonymous and will protect the identity of any confidential sources. Any information provided confidentially will be verified with additional sources before publication. No sources will be paid for information.

We will always provide clear and prominent attribution when reporting on information from another publication, including a link to the original source. Imagery from photographers, artists, and other sources will be appropriately credited.

 

Professional relationships with publishers and other companies

 

Sometimes Popverse will have to agree to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or embargoes that require us to publish our content after a certain time and/or date to enable us to cover certain comics, movies, tv, games, individuals, or organizations. We will only agree to such terms when we feel it will not compromise the related coverage in any way.

Popverse's work requires us to travel to report on events, releases, people, and organizations. If we accept travel and accommodation from a third party to facilitate our editorial coverage, then we will disclose it within the relevant articles.
