Quality Standards
EDITORIAL
POLICIES.
Integrity is the foundation of FordelViden. This document outlines the standards we uphold to ensure our coverage remains accurate, unbiased, and meaningful for the gaming community.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive for absolute accuracy in all our reporting. Our team verifies facts, statistics, and claims through primary sources, official documentation, and subjects of the story. In the fast-moving world of gaming news, we prioritize being correct over being first.
Our fact-checking process involves multiple layers of review. High-stakes investigations and industry-shifting reports require verification from at least two independent sources. We do not publish rumors unless they are accompanied by significant evidence and are clearly identified as unconfirmed.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of commercial or political interests. While we maintain professional relationships with game developers, publishers, and hardware manufacturers, those relationships do not influence our coverage, reviews, or analysis.
Sponsored content and advertisements are always clearly identified as such. We maintain a strict "Chinese Wall" between our editorial team and our business operations.
Ethics and Professional Conduct
We adhere to the highest ethical standards in digital journalism. Our writers are prohibited from accepting gifts, travel expenses, or other perks that could compromise their objectivity. When reviewing products, we disclose if a review copy was provided by the manufacturer.
- Absolute rejection of plagiarism. All work must be original.
- Clear disclosure of any personal or financial conflicts of interest.
- Respecting the right to reply for subjects of critical reporting.
- Commitment to diversity in our coverage and our community spaces.
Sources and Attribution
We believe in giving credit where it is due. We attribute information to its original source and provide links whenever possible. Anonymous sources are used only when the information is critical and cannot be obtained through other means. We protect the identity of sources who provide information at personal or professional risk, following the highest standards of journalistic protection.
Artificial Intelligence
At FordelViden, we believe in the value of human insight and creativity. While we may use AI as a tool for research, data analysis, or internal organization, all our public-facing editorial content is written, reviewed, and approved by human professionals. We do not publish AI-generated reviews, opinion pieces, or news articles.
Corrections and Updates
When errors occur, we correct them transparently. Minor typos are corrected without notice, but substantive errors are corrected with a clear "Correction" note at the top or bottom of the article. If an article is updated with significant new information, it is marked as "Updated" with the relevant timestamp.
