Editorial draft — adapt this article to describe the actual editorial practices of this website.
A fan website can bring people together around a film series, but it should be clear about who operates it and how it relates to the rights holders. A transparent editorial identity helps readers understand what they are visiting.
Be clear about independence
Use a visible disclaimer explaining that the site is independent and not an official production or studio website unless written authorization says otherwise.
Publish original work
Write commentary, explainers, interviews you have permission to publish, reviews and researched features in your own words. Avoid copying press releases or republishing other publishers’ articles.
Respect image and video rights
Do not assume that a poster, still, actor photograph, trailer or social media image is free to reuse. Use original photography, licensed stock, authorized press assets or other material you have a valid right to publish.
Make the site useful
Provide clear navigation, author information, contact details, corrections practices and privacy disclosures that accurately describe the tools running on the site.
