Editorial policy

We aim to make our explanations lively, specific and dependable. Claims about comedy, its forms and its history should be presented with care, and readers should be able to distinguish editorial work from paid collaboration.

Accuracy and context

We check factual details against suitable sources and distinguish interpretation from verifiable information. When a point is uncertain or debated, we say so rather than smoothing over the disagreement. Examples should clarify an idea, not stand in for evidence about every performer or audience.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are kept separate from commercial arrangements. Any paid, sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can recognise its status. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage or editorial endorsement.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or a misleading description, contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted, making meaningful changes clear to readers.

Images and illustration

Illustrations may be commissioned, licensed, created for the publication or generated with AI. Where an image is AI-generated, we identify it as such; illustrative images are not presented as documentary evidence.
