Ethics Policy

Ethics Policy

This is a short code of conduct for everyone who reports, edits or otherwise contributes to Manga For Today.

1. Independence

Coverage is not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, publishers or any party who is the subject of a story. Review copies, invitations or other courtesies do not obligate favorable coverage and do not prevent legitimate criticism.

2. Conflicts of interest

Contributors disclose any personal, financial or professional relationship with a subject they are assigned to cover, and do not report on subjects where such a relationship could reasonably be seen to affect their judgment.

3. Originality and plagiarism

Work published under our name is either original or properly attributed. Copying another outlet’s reporting, analysis or phrasing without credit is not permitted.

4. Respect for people

Coverage of creators, executives and other individuals in the industry avoids unnecessary harm, harassment or the presentation of unverified personal claims as fact.

5. Confidentiality

Sources who reasonably request anonymity, and whose safety, employment or livelihood could be affected by disclosure, are protected accordingly.

6. Accountability

Breaches of this policy are corrected, and, where appropriate, addressed directly with the person responsible.
