Editorial Policy
At Franke Media, our mission is to produce thoughtful, engaging, and culturally aware editorial content that reflects the way women live, think, and move through the world today. Our stories — whether on beauty, fashion, culture, wellness, or everyday life — are grounded in curiosity, perspective, and respect for our audience.
This editorial policy outlines the principles, standards, and practices that guide how we create, review, and publish content on Franke Media.
Our Editorial Principles
1. Independence
Franke Media maintains editorial independence in all aspects of content creation and publication. Stories are developed based on editorial merit and audience relevance — not external influence. We ensure that editorial decisions are made separate from commercial considerations, including advertising or partnerships.
2. Accuracy and Editorial Integrity
Our editorial team is committed to accuracy. We verify information to the best of our ability and provide context when necessary. When an error is identified, we take prompt action to correct it and disclose the correction clearly.
3. Respectful, Inclusive Voice
We strive to represent diverse perspectives and experiences. Our content is written with respect for all readers — across background, identity, and lived experience — and we avoid language that demeans or marginalizes individuals or communities.
4. Thoughtful, Not Transactional
Franke Media’s content is not designed to drive clicks at all costs. Our focus is on long-form value, cultural insight, and measured opinion. We resist sensationalism and prefer nuance over quick takes.
Disclosures and Transparency
Sponsored Content
Some stories on Franke Media may be produced in collaboration with brands or sponsors. When a piece of content is sponsored, we provide clear disclosure at the top of the article. Sponsored content meets the same editorial standards as all other stories: it must be thoughtful, well‑written, and relevant to our audience.
Affiliate Relationships
Franke Media may include affiliate links that generate revenue if a reader chooses to purchase. Affiliate inclusion does not influence our editorial decisions. We only link to products we genuinely find interesting, culturally relevant, or notable within a given context.
Conflicts of Interest
Editorial team members avoid publishing content where there may be an undisclosed personal or financial conflict. Where clarification is needed, appropriate disclosure is made.
Corrections and Clarifications
We strive for accuracy, but errors may occasionally occur. To request a correction, please contact us at contact@franke-media.com with the subject line Correction Request and a detailed explanation. We will review and respond promptly.
When a correction is warranted:
- We update the content clearly and transparently
- We include a correction note at the top or bottom of the story
Community Engagement
We welcome discussion and exchange in the comments and on social platforms. While we value diverse opinion, we reserve the right to moderate, remove, or restrict comments or engagement that:
- Promote hate, harassment, or discrimination
- Include profanity directed at individuals
- Disrupt constructive conversation
For community inquiries or moderation concerns, contact contact@franke-media.com.
Editorial Standards at Work
Our editorial team adheres to internal style guidelines and a structured editorial review process, which includes:
- Pitch and concept review
- Fact-checking and sourcing
- Editing for voice, clarity, and audience relevance
Every published story represents our commitment to quality, context, and editorial intention.
