Editorial policy

Urban Music Review aims to make music culture readable without overstating what a story can show. We check the details we can, distinguish interpretation from fact, and make changes when something is wrong.

Accuracy and context

We review names, descriptions, and claims for clarity and consistency before publication. When a point is disputed or uncertain, we say so rather than presenting an interpretation as settled fact. We avoid implying that one artist, venue, or listener represents an entire city or scene.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for the reader, not as a condition of a commercial arrangement. Any sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

If you spot an error, contact us with the relevant detail and context. We review correction requests and amend published material when warranted, making the change clear where appropriate.

Images and illustrations

Images are chosen to support the subject and are not presented as documentary evidence unless they are. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where used, they are identified as illustrations and not as photographs of real events.
