The Blindbandit Chronicle

Ideas, Culture & Independent Perspectives

Editorial Standards

Clear attribution, honest context and accountability to readers.

Accuracy & sources

Factual claims should be supported by identifiable sources or clearly attributed first-hand experience. Quotes must preserve the speaker’s meaning. Estimates, interpretation and uncertainty should be identified rather than presented as established fact.

Opinion, experience & reporting

Essays and perspectives express an author’s viewpoint. A personal account is not independent verification of every person or event it describes. Research-based pieces should identify the material they rely on. Headlines and summaries should fairly reflect the article.

Authors & dates

Articles should identify their author. Publication and update dates should reflect actual events. Undated archive guides must not be given invented dates to appear recent. Material changes should be explained to readers.

Ownership & commercial relationships

The publisher operates the Mr. Blindbandit website in connection with Blindbandit Records. That relationship matters when the publication discusses its own releases or services. Sponsorship, affiliate arrangements and other material benefits should be disclosed with the relevant content. Read the advertising and sponsorship disclosure.

Images & assisted production

Images should carry useful alternative text and appropriate credit or context. Illustrations and synthetic imagery must not be presented as documentary evidence. When automated tools materially create content or imagery, that assistance should be made clear where relevant. The publisher remains responsible for what appears on the site.

Accessibility

Publication pages should use a logical heading order, descriptive links, readable text and keyboard-operable controls. Report reading or navigation barriers through our accessibility contact route.

Corrections

Readers can challenge a claim, identify a source problem or request a correction. See the corrections procedure for what to include and how material corrections should be recorded.
