One independent newsroom.
ImJustBrighton is operated independently rather than as part of a larger newsroom. Editorial planning, reporting, writing, editing and publishing are managed by the publication's founder and editor.
Information received
Stories may be based on information received from members of the public, organisations, businesses, public bodies, emergency services, event organisers and other relevant sources.
Developing stories
Developing stories may be updated when additional information becomes available. Where appropriate, confirmed information is distinguished from allegations, claims, statements or information that has not yet been independently verified.
Accuracy, context and responsibility.
ImJustBrighton aims to publish accurate, relevant and responsible local journalism. Information is checked against available evidence and reliable sources before publication where reasonably possible.
Accuracy
Information is checked against available evidence and reliable sources before publication where reasonably possible.
Sensitive reporting
The publication seeks to provide appropriate context when reporting on sensitive or developing stories and does not intentionally present unverified claims as established facts.
Headlines and social media
Headlines, article text and social media posts are intended to accurately reflect the information available at the time of publication.
Editorial responsibility
Final responsibility for editorial decisions, presentation, corrections and amendments rests with the founder and editor.
Know where the information comes from.
Sources used by ImJustBrighton may include official statements, public authorities, emergency services, local organisations, businesses, event organisers, witnesses, public records and other relevant sources.
Attribution
Information originating from another publication or organisation is treated as information from that source and, where appropriate, attributed to the original source.
Our reporting
ImJustBrighton aims to distinguish its own reporting from information supplied by third parties or previously reported elsewhere.
Accuracy doesn't stop at publication.
ImJustBrighton welcomes factual corrections and takes reasonable steps to correct inaccurate information when a genuine error is identified.
Corrections
Readers who believe an article contains an inaccurate factual statement can contact the editorial team with the relevant article, the specific information in question and supporting evidence where available.
Updates
Articles may be updated when significant new information becomes available.
Commercial relationships do not control the newsroom.
Editorial decisions at ImJustBrighton are made independently by the publication's editorial leadership. Commercial relationships do not determine whether an independent news story is published or the editorial position taken in reporting.
ImJustBrighton can work with local businesses and organisations commercially while maintaining a distinction between paid promotional activity and independent editorial reporting.
Independent operation, commercial support.
How the publication is funded
ImJustBrighton is independently financed. The publication's operation is supported by the founder's own investment as well as revenue generated through advertising, promotional services, social media promotion, marketing packages, event promotion and other commercial services offered to businesses and organisations.
Commercial activity
Commercial revenue supports the operation and development of the publication. ImJustBrighton does not operate as a publicly funded newsroom and is not owned or controlled by an external media group.
Promotion and independent reporting.
ImJustBrighton offers promotional services to businesses, organisations and event organisers. These services can include advertising, social media promotion, event promotion, sponsored promotional activity and other marketing services.
Commercial content
Promotional and commercial content is separate from independent editorial reporting.
Clear distinction
Where content is promotional in nature, ImJustBrighton aims to make the commercial nature of that content clear to its audience.
