Editorial Responsibility

All editorial content published through the DPIFF News section is managed by the DPIFF Editorial Desk.

The Editorial Desk is responsible for reviewing and approving editorial content before publication and for maintaining DPIFF's standards relating to accuracy, sourcing, attribution, fairness, and transparency.

Articles published under the DPIFF News section may be authored by members of the DPIFF Editorial Desk or other designated contributors. Each article identifies its author or publishing desk through its byline.

Accuracy, Verification & Sourcing

DPIFF News aims to publish accurate, reliable, and properly attributed information. The editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify material facts before publication.

Depending on the nature of a story, information may be verified using official statements, primary sources, direct communications, documents, interviews, authorized representatives, and other credible sources.

Unverified rumors and speculation are not intentionally presented as confirmed facts. Where information is based on reports, third-party sources, or information that has not been independently confirmed, the article will make that status clear where relevant.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently by the DPIFF Editorial Desk based on editorial judgment, relevance, accuracy, and newsworthiness.

Advertising, sponsorships, partnerships, commercial relationships, or other external interests do not determine the editorial treatment of independent news coverage.

Where DPIFF has a direct relationship with the subject of a news story, including coverage involving its own festival, nominees, jury members, partners, or award recipients, that relationship may be disclosed within the relevant article where appropriate.

Corrections, Clarifications & Updates

DPIFF is committed to correcting material factual errors promptly and transparently when they are identified and verified.

Depending on the circumstances, an article may receive a correction, clarification, update, or retraction. Material editorial changes may be identified within the affected article so readers can understand its editorial history.

Readers and sources can report potential factual errors directly to the DPIFF Editorial Desk.

Editorial Standards & Code of Ethics

DPIFF News follows established editorial principles covering independence, accuracy, sourcing, conflicts of interest, sponsored content, attribution, artificial intelligence assistance, fairness, privacy, and editorial accountability.

Our Code of Ethics explains the principles that guide the production, review, and publication of DPIFF News content.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

DPIFF may use artificial intelligence and technology-assisted tools for certain editorial activities, including research assistance, transcription, translation, organization of information, and drafting.

AI-assisted material is subject to human editorial review, verification, editing, and approval before publication. Final editorial responsibility for all published content remains with the DPIFF Editorial Desk.

Transparency

DPIFF believes readers should be able to understand who publishes its news content, how editorial decisions are made, and how factual errors are handled.
