The transparency note

Specific names

Where the ownership of a publication is a matter of public record (for example, in regulatory filings), we publish the names. Where it is not, we say so rather than invent it.

Financial relationships

If a future piece of sponsored content is published, the sponsorship is disclosed at the top of the article. The disclosure is permanent and visible.

Editorial conflicts

If an editor or contributor has a personal financial relationship with a platform or a player, the relationship is disclosed in the byline. The disclosure is permanent.

Why ownership matters in fantasy coverage

The fantasy industry has a long history of editorial sites that are quietly owned by the platforms they cover. The reader cannot tell, the coverage is biased, and the trust breaks. We name what we know about our own ownership so the reader can decide how to weigh the read.
