What we verify
Before publishing factual entertainment news, editors should verify material details such as release dates, streaming dates, cast and crew announcements, official trailer releases, renewals, cancellations and reported box-office figures.
Preferred sources
Depending on the story, useful sources can include official studio or platform announcements, filmmakers, verified public representatives, regulatory filings, cinema chains, recognized measurement services and credible news organizations. Primary sources are preferred when they are available and suitable.
Conflicting information
When credible sources disagree, the article should avoid presenting uncertainty as settled fact. Editors can explain the disagreement and update the story when stronger confirmation becomes available.
User submissions
Reader tips, social posts and screenshots may be leads, but they should not automatically be treated as verified evidence.
