LOVME is committed to delivering the highest editorial and ethical standards in the provision of due accuracy and impartiality and strive to avoid knowingly and materially misleading our readers.
We seek to balance our rights to freedom of expression and information with our responsibilities, for example, to respect privacy and protect children.
LOVME Editorial Guidelines are a statement of the values and standards we have set for ourselves over the years. They also codify the good practice we expect from the creators and makers of all LOVME content, whether it is made by the LOVME itself or by an Independent company working for LOVME and whether it is made for:
- radio
- television
- online mobile devices
- interactive services
- the printed word
As different technologies evolve, these guidelines apply to our content whoever produces it and however it is received.
The values and standards outlined in these guidelines should be observed regardless of location.
Truth and Accuracy
LOVME will strive to construct the truth based upon standard historical accounts of past relevant events with relation to our work which will include actual accounts as reported to us by our members. LOVME recognizes that each individual establishes their own truth. As a result of this truth, identifying one and only one truth is not realistic. In order to be accurate one must develop a standard as we have to measure all our content. To learn more about our standards click here.
