EDITORIAL POLICIES
As part of PRessroom.ph’s effort to disseminate press-quality content that is free of errors or credibility problems, we follow the editorial guidelines below:
SOURCE OF VERIFICATION
Upon receipt of any press information, a staffer of PRessroom.ph calls the Media Contact Person of the company/organization issuing the press information. The Media Contact must verify the press information. Press information will not be issued until this verification process is completed.
If the client represents a public relations or investor relations agency, it must provide PRessroom.ph with the name of its client who is the source of the information. The agency representative must be known to PRessroom.ph and is authorized to send the press information in behalf of its client/s.
If the press information is received from an individual who has not been identified as the authorized Media Contact, PRessroom.ph contacts an authorized sender to verify the legitimacy of the individual.
REVIEW PROCESS
PRessroom.ph’s editorial operations require a thorough review of the press material in an attempt to:
• Identify any errors, discrepancies, inconsistencies or other irregularities in the material as it was delivered to PRessroom.ph. No substantive change will be made without the approval of the client subscriber. If the client subscriber refuses to correct a clear error, the press information will not be uploaded. PRessroom.ph will not knowingly transmit an error. If the change is only a suggestion or opinion, the client subscriber’s wishes prevail.
• Format the press material in such a manner that it will be received, stored, and be accessed electronically.
Accountability
• Clients subscribing to PRessroom.ph are solely responsible for the facts and accuracy of all information they submit to PRessroom.ph. Client subscribers must also ensure that all press material they turn-over to PRessroom.ph, particularly photographs and video clips, are not copyrighted and are royalty-free. The only responsibility of PRessroom.ph shall be to use reasonable efforts to correct any error of fact, timing or omission brought to its attention. PRessroom.ph reserves the right to exercise its editorial judgment and reject copy from clients when necessary.
• All press materials uploaded on PRessroom.ph can be published, reproduced, electronically redistributed, stored in a database, or quoted or cited with the consent of PRessroom.ph client subscribers.
