Fact Checking

Editorial integrity

The arts are often a place where opinions and interpretations vary widely based on individual tastes, experiences, and cultural contexts. At the same time, we believe that certain factual and technical aspects of music are essential for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of these art forms. That's why we have a rigorous fact-checking procedure in place to ensure the content we publish is accurate, well-researched, and reflective of the most current knowledge in the field.
