Editorial policy

Lively News Journal aims to make leisure choices easier to think through, not to promise that one activity suits everyone. We distinguish general guidance from claims that need stronger support and correct the record when we get something wrong.

Accuracy and care

We check factual statements against appropriate sources before publication and avoid presenting assumption as fact. Advice is framed for ordinary, low-risk decisions; we do not ask readers to undertake hazardous work or treat a general article as a substitute for specialist help.

Independence and disclosure

Editorial choices are made for reader relevance, not because a product or partner has asked for coverage. Any paid, sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled where it appears, so readers can tell it apart from independent editorial work.

Corrections

If you spot an error, contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review credible correction requests and amend published material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers.

Images and illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. We do not present illustrative images as documentary evidence, and we identify AI-generated imagery where it could otherwise mislead readers.
