Politica etica
Effective 1 giugno 2025
Integrity is the foundation of MusicWire’s reputation. This policy sets clear expectations for employees, contributors, and contractors.
1. Editorial Independence
MusicWire maintains a strict separation between editorial decisions and commercial considerations. Advertising, sponsorship, and partner programs do not influence review outcomes or distribution priorities.
2 – Verifica dei fatti
All staff must verify names, release dates, chart data, and quotations. Primary sources (artist management, official label statements, public filings) are prioritized over secondary reporting.
3. Attribution & Plagiarism
We credit original sources for statistics, lyrics, or quotations. Copying or closely paraphrasing without attribution is grounds for disciplinary action.
4. Gifts & Compensations
Editors may not accept gifts, cash, or “perks” valued over USD 50 from any company or individual connected to a press release. Free tickets or merch for coverage are prohibited.
5. Sponsored Content
Paid placements or brand collaborations must be clearly labeled “Sponsored” within the press release body.
6. Privacy & Data
Personal data collected from clients or journalists is used strictly for service delivery, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7. AI & Automation
MusicWire may use AI tools for grammar or style suggestions but never to generate original facts or unsourced content. Human editors make final decisions.
8 Correzioni
We publish corrections promptly, with transparency about the error and the fix.
