At Flaunt Weekly, we are committed to delivering timely, accurate, and balanced coverage across the global entertainment landscape — including film, television, music, streaming, fashion, and celebrity culture.
Our editorial independence is absolute, and we uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity to ensure readers receive content that is factual, responsible, and trustworthy.
1. Accuracy and Verification
-
All facts, quotes, and statistics are verified using reliable, on-the-record, and publicly accessible sources before publication.
-
Whenever possible, we consult multiple independent sources to confirm accuracy and reduce bias.
-
If new, verifiable information becomes available after publication, the content is promptly reviewed and updatedto maintain accuracy and integrity.
2. Fairness and Balance
-
Every story is presented with appropriate context, ensuring all relevant viewpoints are represented fairly.
-
Sensationalism, clickbait, and misleading headlines are strictly prohibited.
-
Articles must remain neutral, fact-driven, and clearly sourced, avoiding language that could distort meaning or imply favoritism.
3. Independence from External Influence
-
Editorial decisions are made solely by Flaunt Weekly’s newsroom and are never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or outside stakeholders.
-
All sponsored or branded content is clearly labeled in compliance with FTC guidelines and international advertising standards.
-
No advertiser or sponsor has authority over editorial tone, headlines, or conclusions.
4. Conflicts of Interest
At Flaunt Weekly, maintaining reader trust requires full transparency and independence. All staff, contributors, and partners must avoid real or perceived conflicts that could compromise their impartiality.
a. Mandatory Disclosure
If a contributor has any financial, professional, or personal connection to a subject covered — including investments, partnerships, or relationships — they must disclose it clearly within the content.
b. Editorial Oversight
All disclosures are reviewed by Rahis Saifi (Editor) or the editorial leadership team prior to publication. If necessary, stories may be reassigned or modified to ensure objectivity.
c. Prohibited Activities
Contributors may not accept gifts, payments, or favors from individuals, companies, or organizations that could influence — or appear to influence — coverage.
d. Ongoing Compliance
Writers must immediately inform the editorial team if a new conflict arises after publication. The editor may update, annotate, or retract affected content as deemed necessary.
Through these measures, Flaunt Weekly ensures that all journalism remains independent, credible, and free from undue influence.
5. Transparency in Sourcing
-
Anonymous sources are used only when essential and when information cannot be obtained by other means.
-
We explain to readers why anonymity was granted, providing as much context as possible without compromising the source’s safety or privacy.
-
We always prefer on-record confirmation from primary or official sources.
6. Corrections and Clarifications
-
Verified factual errors are corrected promptly and noted clearly within the article.
-
A Correction Note or Editor’s Note indicates the date, nature, and scope of the update.
-
Substantive changes that alter the meaning or understanding of a story are documented transparently to preserve accountability.
7. Respect for Privacy
-
Flaunt Weekly balances the public’s right to know with an individual’s right to privacy, particularly in stories involving personal or sensitive matters.
-
We do not publish private details unless they are directly relevant to public interest and verified from legitimate sources.
8. Ethical Use of Images and Media
-
All images, videos, and media used by Flaunt Weekly are original, licensed, or fall under legitimate fair-use standards.
-
Manipulated visuals are avoided unless clearly marked as illustrations, composites, or artistic renderings.
-
Credits and attributions are always maintained where applicable.
9. Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
-
Flaunt Weekly strives to represent a wide range of voices and perspectives within global entertainment.
-
We actively avoid discriminatory language, stereotypes, or exclusionary framing.
-
Our newsroom seeks to reflect the diversity of the audiences we serve — across cultures, identities, and viewpoints.
