Ethics & Corrections
How we stay independent, and how we put things right.
The Global Guest List is an independent publication. This policy sits alongside our editorial standards, which explain how we check facts, handle quotes and credit photography. Both apply to every story we publish.
Independence
We decide what we cover. We are not affiliated with Formula 1, any festival or any event we write about. We do not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage, and partners, sponsors and event organisers never approve or edit our stories before publication.
Conflicts of interest
Editors and contributors tell the editorial team about any financial or personal relationship with a person, brand, event or artist they cover, including paid work for that brand, agency, event or artist. If a relationship is relevant to a story, we disclose it in the story. If a conflict cannot be managed by disclosure, someone else takes the story or it does not run.
Sponsored content
Sponsored stories are always labeled as sponsored at the top of the story and name the partner. Sponsored stories follow the same fact-checking and photo-credit rules as the rest of the publication. Partners do not approve or edit editorial coverage, and a sponsorship never buys a mention in an editorial story.
Hosted travel, tickets and access
When we attend an event as a guest, receive complimentary tickets or hospitality, or travel or stay at a host's expense, we say so in the story. Accepting access does not mean a positive review, and hosts do not see or approve coverage before it is published.
Image rights
Every image is credited. We only publish photographs we have the right to use: our own, images supplied with permission, or openly licensed work credited according to its license. We never take photographs from people's personal social media accounts. Credits for the images on the site are listed on our photo credits page.
Society columns
Our society columns cover who attended, what they wore and the moments worth remembering from race weekends, festivals and art weeks. We only report relationships that have been publicly confirmed on the record. We do not publish rumors about breakups or pregnancies, and we do not speculate about anyone's private life. Photographs in these columns follow the same image rules as every other story, so we never use photos from people's own social media accounts.
How to request a correction
If you think we got something wrong, tell us through our contact page (choose the Correction topic) or write to press@theglobalguestlist.com. Please include the link to the story, what you believe is wrong and, if you can, a source that shows the correct information.
We review every request. When a story contains a factual error, we fix it and add a note at the end of the story explaining what changed and when. Spelling and formatting fixes that do not change the meaning of a story may be made without a note.
Corrections log
No corrections have been issued yet. When we correct a story, it will be listed here with the date, a link to the story and a short description of what changed.
