Editorial policy

Bestem is an automated music news publication. Articles are prepared by software, using AI, under rules set by Bestem Editorial. This page describes those rules.

Sources

Stories are gathered from the public feeds of music publications and news sites. Every article links to the sources it is based on. Stories resting on a single source of low reliability are not published.

Verification

The software first extracts the facts that are explicitly stated in the sources; the article is written from those facts alone and source text is never copied. Before publication every number, date and proper name is machine-checked against the fact list, and every sentence is tested against the facts in a separate model check. Articles that fail these checks are not published. Speculation, opinion and descriptors that are not in the sources are not allowed.

What we do not publish

Deaths, health issues, legal proceedings, accusations, gossip and private life stories are filtered out automatically.

Corrections

If you spot an error, write to [email protected] with the article's address. We review every report and correct or remove the article if the error is confirmed. Rights holders who want content removed can use the same address.

Images

No AI-generated photorealistic images of real people. Sharing images are our own templates; covers are the artwork of the album or song in question and the rights belong to their owners.

Independence

No article is published in exchange for payment; topics are chosen automatically by reader interest and news value.
