Editorial policy

Local Lifestyle Review aims to make useful, readable work about local life without overstating what a story can establish. We value clear sourcing, fair description and openness about how editorial material is made.

Accuracy and context

We check names, descriptions and other factual details against appropriate information available to us, and take care to distinguish an observed detail, a reported claim and an opinion. Local circumstances can change; where a detail may vary by place or time, we say so rather than presenting it as universal. We do not offer professional advice.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain distinct from commercial arrangements. Paid, gifted or partner material is identified clearly in context so readers can tell when a collaboration is involved. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage, and we do not describe a commercial relationship as independent editorial judgement.

Corrections

If a reader spots an error, they can contact us with the relevant page or passage and the correction they believe is needed. We review the information and, when a change is warranted, correct the text and make the change clear where appropriate.

Images and illustrations

Images should support the subject without misleading readers about what a place or activity is like. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; when that is the case, we identify them as illustrations rather than documentary photographs.
