Politica etica

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.
