Ethics and Guidelines

Conduct

At Austin B Media, maintaining integrity in my coverage is paramount. I do not accept travel or accommodations (such as flights or hotel rooms) from companies I cover. Should any exceptions arise, I will disclose them in our coverage to maintain transparency with my audience. This policy also extends to gifts of any kind and crowdfunding campaigns, ensuring that my content remains unbiased and independent.

Reviews

All reviews published on Austin B Media are scored based on a five-star, standardized rating system. I strive for honesty and objectivity, evaluating each movie, TV show, video game, or other piece of entertainment based on its merits, regardless of its origin. My goal is to provide readers with a clear understanding of my opinions and the reasoning behind them.

Conflicts of Interest

To uphold the integrity of my work, I disclose any potential conflicts of interest. If I have a personal connection to a subject or contributor, it will be noted in the post. That way, anyone who sees what I post can assess the potential bias in the information presented.

Sources

I prioritize reputable sources in everything I create. All information posted anywhere is fact-checked and cited with credible references where appropriate.

Corrections

We all make mistakes. If an error is identified in anything I create, I am committed to making timely corrections. Transparency is key; I will acknowledge all mistakes and update the affected post accordingly to ensure that the information I’ve presented is accurate and reliable.

Advertising

Austin B Media may feature advertisements or sponsored content. All sponsored posts will be clearly labeled to distinguish them from editorial content. I will not promote products or services I do not believe in.

Sponsorships and Partnerships

When entering partnerships or sponsorships with brands, I ensure they align with my values and the interests of my audience. All sponsored content will be disclosed, maintaining transparency about the nature of the relationship.

Review Copies

I accept review copies of movies, games, and other products from companies to provide honest assessments. Acceptance of these materials does not guarantee a favorable review; all opinions are my own and will reflect my genuine perspective.

Review and Feedback Process

I welcome constructive feedback on my work and guidelines. This allows for ongoing improvement and adaptation of my policies to better serve the community. Readers and contributors can reach out with suggestions or concerns regarding the content and ethical standards.

Audience Engagement

I value the opinions and feedback of my audience. Readers are encouraged to engage with content through comments, shares, and direct messages. Constructive dialogue helps improve the quality of my work and fosters a sense of community.

Privacy Policy

Respecting the privacy of readers and contributors is essential. I do not collect personal information without consent and will only share information in compliance with applicable privacy laws. For more detailed information, please refer to my Privacy page.

Closing Statement

At Austin B Media, my mission is to foster an honest and transparent relationship with my audience. I am committed to upholding these ethics and guidelines in all my work and welcome feedback to ensure I continue to meet these standards
